Manhattan, New York

February 20th, 2022

3:00 PM

“Yo yo yo Y’all it’s DJ Sasha coming back to you from 102.5FM Empire! Home of 2000’s Hip Hop and R&B! Stay safe out there this afternoon and in the nights y’all the police just busted another gambling operation downtown in Manhattan, man life’s crazy y’all you don’t know what’s going on in these streets…. Well anyways it’s time for our next song to lighten the mood, we got Nas NY State Of Mind, Stay warm out there!”

https://youtu.be/hI8A14Qcv68

Yeah, yeah

Ayo Black, it's time, word (word, it's time, man)

It's time, man (a'ight, man, begin)

Yeah, straight out the fuckin' dungeons of rap

Where fake _____ don't make it back

I don't know how to start this shit, yo, now...

Rappers, I monkey flip 'em with the funky rhythm

I be kickin', musician inflictin' composition of pain, I'm like Scarface sniffin' cocaine

Holdin' an M16, see, with the pen I'm extreme

Now, bullet holes left in my peepholes

I'm suited up with street clothes, hand me a .9, and I'll defeat foes

New York City, The Big Apple, One of the many big cities of the United States. Sure it looks like a nice place to live in, but there’s something going on throughout the underground that most people that aren’t native to the city…. In the mid 1980’s, there was huge political drama with the Mayor that resulted in him resigning, as insult to injury the city gained an increase of crime, causing 6 crime families to form or move into the city from their original countries and working in the shadows while also keeping New York running. Years later in 2022, New York has progressed along with society, however…. Organized Crime still controls the city… 

Reminiscin' about the last time the task force flipped

____ be runnin' through the block shootin'

Time to start the revolution, catch a body, head for Houston

Once they caught us off-guard, the MAC-10 was in the grass, and

“I’m telling y’all don’t mess with those trailer parks these gangs ain’t playing around no more!”

Two teenagers were walking down a neighborhood street to head to a store, they seemed to be talking about something, who knows what kids these days are on about... 

“C’mon what’s so bad about that place?”

“Look man my bro got jumped by their leader and he came back with cat scratches all over him! The dude said that the leader is a cat!”

“Sorry what?”

“Listen I didn’t know if he was hallucinating but he sure as hell acted like he was telling the truth! He told me that some of his guys brought him down to a junkyard after his shift at the Piggly Wiggly over at MLK, and he told me EXACTLY how he looked and I’m telling you the way he made him sound is like what you’d get I do Garfield wore an eyepatch and sounded like he smoked cigarettes!”

Right at the two we’re talking, someone bumped into the taller teen and dropped her phone.

“Crap- my bad!” A dark-skinned girl with red shoulder length dreadlocks in a yellow jacket said to the two teens picking her phone up out of the snow.

“Hey April let me hold 10 dollars so I can go grab a drink!”

“Hell no, why would I give you my allowance money?”

“C’mon man it’s freezing out here the least you could do is let a brother borrow some cash!”

“Then why are you out here then?” 

“Well- okay you know what forget you man I’ll get a drink myself!”

“Yeah sure, later guys…”

“See ya April!”

Inhale deep like the words of my breath

I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death

I lay puzzled as I backtrack to earlier times

Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind

Going from the streets down to the sewers. They are mostly unexplored and closed off after there was a arms trafficking ring that was busted in the early 00's so they've pretty much been unoccupied. However there's a segment of the sewers were homeless people and others used to hang out in the 80's to 90's that was used as a shelter, It managed to be suitable for electricity as well. Now all those people are gone, but there's still one family that made it their home. Molded it into something different, it's more of a sanctuary to them compared to a shelter. Inside one of those rooms was a dojo that used to be a personal gym, inside of the that room stood four brothers(Not the John Singleton film), four..... humanoid turtles? They wore color coordinated eye mask(red, blue, purple and orange) and had different weapons on them. The red turtle has a set of sai's, the blue turtle had a replica Katana, the orange one had a pair of nunchucks and the purple one had a staff along with a belt of vast tools. They all had names after famous painters and artists, Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo and Raphael.

“Come on Raph, give me everything you got.”

“Heh, your funeral then Leo…”

Be havin' dreams that I'm a gangsta, drinkin' Moëts, holdin' TEC's

Makin' sure the cash came correct, then I stepped

Investments in stocks, sewin' up the blocks to sell rocks

Winnin' gunfights with mega-cops 

(Sorry if this scene feels underwhelming I had trouble writing this part specifically)

Raph gripped his Sai’s as he rushed towards his brother, raising his sai's in a skewering motion. Leo gripped his Katana handle and moved back as Raph tried to slash his torso, the two played a game of dodge and weave before they tried attacking each other. Their weapons clashed against each other for a few seconds before the two brothers tried to push their weapons onto the other's neck to get them on the ropes, Leo managed to get his Katana out of Raph's sai's as he circled around him 

"Stay still man!"

Leo swung his Katana towards Raph in a torndado-like motion but the brother managed to dodge it with ease and began to do an onslaught of attacks towards him, Raph was close to backing Raph into a wall until the turtle managed to parry one of his attacks. He quickly flipped one of his sai's upwards and used the handle to hit the side of Leo's neck.

"Ow!'

Raph then kneed Leo in the gut causing him to drop his katana and then threw him over his shoulders and onto the floor, hitting some makeshift training dummies.

"Wow, nice shot Raph." Leo chuckled as he got up and rubbed his neck. Raph smirked as he looked at his other brothers who were leaning against the wall. Mikey had his arms crossed while Donnie was reading a novel, not really paying attention to the match just yet.

"Alright who's next?" Raph asked confidently.

"Guess i'll give it a shot." Mikey said, taking out his nunchucks and swinging them, almost hitting Donnie.

"Hey watch it!"

Black, I'm livin' where the nights is jet-black

The fiends fight to get crack, I just max, I dream I can sit back

And lamp like Capone, with drug scripts sewn

Or the legal luxury life, rings flooded with stones, homes

Mikey slowly swung his nunchucks before increasing the speed as he charged at Raph, Raph weaved the swings coming towards as Mikey increased the frequency of the attacks. Raph attempted to jab Mikey with his Sai but the younger turtle leaned back dodging the next swing, Mikey kicked Raph back as the two slide across the room still keeping their balance and grasp on their weapons. Raph landed against a wall and hit his head as he heard Mikey coming towards him again.

"Nice try Raph!" Mikey said as he charged the older turtle.

Inhale deep like the words of my breath

I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death

I lay puzzled as I backtrack to earlier times

Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind

Raph opened his eyes as he swung Mikey's body around, using one of his sai's to cut Mikey's right hand causing him to drop his nunchuck, Raph used his other hand to grab the end of Mikey's other hand and headbutted him, knocking Mikey to the ground.

"Ow!"

"And just like that, I prevail once again." Raph chuckled, tossing his sai's up in the air.

Right as Raph said that, he could feel something sweep his legs causing him to flip into the air and land on his shell.

"oof..."

"yikes..."

Raph rubbed the back of his head as he opened his eyes and saw Donnie pointing his staff at him.

"What?" 

"Spoke too soon brother." Donnie said smugly.

Unfortunately for Donnie, Raph grabbed his staff and managed to pull it out of his hands and throw it across the room, staring daggers at Donnie.

"...Oh...."

"...YOU..... LITTLE-

Now if we cut away from the disrespect that's about to happen, cross the hallway from the dojo into a living room, a 6ft tall elderly rat with a faded tan traditional men’s kimono sat down at a homemade table, placing 5 cups down and pouring tea in each cup. He sat down on a mat before turning the TV on and to the news, those turtles that are kicking each other's asses in the room across from him? Yeah, this is their father. Master Splinter.

“For the rest of the month expect to see high chances of 30 inches of snow all over NYC. Alright in other words an apartment complex has been seemingly closed down by police due to a possibility of criminal activity, more on that story coming after commercials.”

“*Sigh* This city will never change.”

SLAM

YOU’RE GONNA BE SORRY FOR THAT!”

“What the?”

Splinter heard the thud across the room and got up picking his walking cane and quickly heading over to check to see what the problem was, what he walked into was Raph having Donnie in a headlock. Leo was trying to pull Raph off of Donnie while Mikey was just standing figuring out what to do.

“UNCLE! UNCLE!” Donnie shouted while trying to break free.

“SORRY COULDN’T HEAR YOU, SAY IT LOUDER.” Raph shouted to spite Donnie.

“Raphael!”

“Huh- oh shit uh hey Master Splinter!” Raph said, letting go of Donnie’s neck and getting up from the ground putting a smile on his face.

“Why did you have Donatello in a headlock when I walked in?”

“Well we were training but someone had to feel competitive about it.” Donnie said, rubbing his neck.

“C’mon chill out man.

“You had me in a HEADLOCK because I sneak attacked you!”

“I thought I told you all to train and NOT to kill each other…”

“In our defense it was Raph who got pissed off.” Leo pointed out.

“Yeah we both got out first, that was all Raph.”

“*sigh* The tea is ready.” Splinter said, rubbing his face and walking back out the door.

“…Real suave Leo.”

“How is this my fault?!”

After Raph calmed down and everyone bandaged themselves up, they headed over to the living room(which was basically a room with a homemade floor table, a tatami rug across the floor, a sofa, couch and a TV) where Splinter had 5 cups of tea prepared. The mutants sat down as Splinter placed down his tea kettle, Donnie was rubbing his neck while glaring at Raph, who was also glaring back at him while Leo and Mikey began drinking their cups of tea, the whole room's atmosphere felt tense.

"Raphael how many times have i told you, you NEED to control your temper." Splinter said, beginning to lecture Raph.

 "I know... I know..."

"And you can't take everything out on your brothers okay?" Splinter continued.

"Alright i get it!"

"Hey I try to tell him."

"Shut it Donnie."

"Donatello you already tested his patience today don't try it again."

"Right...."

“So, why do we still keep training if we're gonna be stuck down here for our whole lives?" Raph asked.

"Well, in case there's a rare situation that we have to defend our home, I want you all to be prepared."

"You know I could just set up turrets and we wouldn't have to worry about training." Donnie suggested

" Defend our home Donatello , not kill anyone in sight. 

" Yeah but Donnie's right, what if doing things in a pacifist way doesn't work?" Mikey asked, flipping through a comic book.

"Then... We'll get to it when the time comes..."

As everyone sat in silence drinking their tea, Leo's mind was stuck on something. Why are they doing all this training and sparing just to say hidden from society for their entire lives. Leo still needed a good reason why they're still doing this.

"Dad- Master Splinter, why are we doing all of this just for you to keep us under the surface."

“You already know the answer to that.”

“The four of us are 17 to 16 years old and you still wanna keep us trapped down here?" Raph chimed in, with a sort of rebellion in his voice compared to Leos.

“The reason I’ve kept you all down here is because I don’t want either of you four getting wrapped up into anything that’s going on up there, the city is already dangerous enough with the amount of crime organizations and the last thing I need is you all is getting used as scapegoats for the Mafia.”

“Why would we even wanna work with the Mafia?” Donnie asked nonchalantly.

“The Malone’s are dangerous! I don’t want you guys watching Goodfellas again and thinking being a gangster is cool!” Splinter said, he wasn't wrong. Next to the {REDACED}, the Malone Crime Family is the most dangerous crime syndicate in NYC.

“To be honest Goodfellas taught us to stay out of that lifestyle.” Leo said.

“Yeah, I don’t wanna meet someone like Joe Pesci’s character.” Mikey added.

“Tommy.”

“What?”

“Tommy, his name was Tommy.”

"I thought that was Robert De Niro playing him." Raph said.

"No, De Niro played Jimmy. PESCI played Tommy, get it right man." Donnie said, almost offended. Donnie was kinda film kid along with being into Technolgy, so he knows this kinda stuff about movies.

“But besides that, why would you think humans wouldn’t be freaked out by us?”

“Some would think you’re in costumes and go along with it, and next thing you know you four are digging up graves for the Yakuza, or Triads or whatever hellscape of a criminal world is being run up there! There are a bunch of naive people here who'd think you're superheroes in costumes!" Splinter continued.

“C’mon dad do we look like the type of guys to willingly kill someone?”

“….You don’t, but still.”

"Yeah but even if that's not true do you want stuck here not knowing what actually goes on out there-

"Leonardo-

"Leo's right, I mean do you want us to be in our 20's stuck down here?"

 Splinter stopped to think once Leo said that, if he kept this lifestyle up his sons would continue to be

"Alright fine, I'll let you all out ONCE a week. That's all, if you come back in one piece then you could possibly go out."

"Sweet! / Woo! / Finally... / Thank god..."


Once they came to a deal, Splinter agreed to let them out for 4 hours, he got everyone's weapons from the dojo for protection incase something went down while they were on the surface, once he placed down all the weapons he turned to his four sons with a serious look in his face

“What are the rules…” Splinter asked.

“Stick to the roofs.” Leo said.

“What do you do if you see someone in trouble?” The rat continued with questioning.

“Stay out of it unless they’re in serious danger.” Raph responded.

“If that previous scenario doesn’t happen, what do you do if someone does see you?”

“Get out of sight as quickly as possible and hide until they go away.” Donnie and Mikey said reluctantly.

“Alright then…” Splinter would then look at a mini electric alarm and set a timer for 4 hours. “Be back here at 8:00 sharp, not a minute late.” Splinter said, now having a smile on his face, he still wanted his sons to stay safe even if he was releasing them into literally the Liberty City/Los Santos of the world.

The turtles bowed before turning around grabbing their weapons, Leo accidentally grabbed his actual Katana instead of his Replica.

“And remember, don’t be heroes.”

“…Yes Master Splinter/ Yeah dad....”

“What’s up y’all! How’s it going, how's it going! It’s Ricky down here at NY Rock City Radio! Don’t wanna get political or anything but y’all heard that the Mayor’s getting backlash from his recent press conference? Now I’m not a politician but maybe DON’T push for a Shoot First, Ask Questions Later law method? That’s just stupid as hell. But anyways we got Guns N’ Roses with Welcome To The Jungle up next on NYRC 102.1!”

https://youtu.be/9erLsEHAZRI?si=r-TsR4QhDjs99UZS

A manhole inside of an alleyway slide open and Raph peaked out to see if there was anyone in the streets,

"The coast is clear."

Raph pushed the manhole all the way up and out of the way so he, Leo, Donnie and Mikey could climb up, once they got up to the ground they climbed up a fire escape of a nearby building and got on top of the rooftop of what appeared to be an apartment, they looked down at the streets of new york and saw a few cars driving down the snowy roads and humans walking up and down the streets into stores, chatting with others or trying to get out of the cold.

Welcome to the jungle, we got fun and games

We got everything you want, honey, we know the names

“This is what New York looks like?” Mikey asked

“It looks…. Meh.” Donnie shrugged.

“Meh? What the hell do you mean meh?”

“I don't know it just looked better in the movies, hell GTA 4 has a better take on the city.”

"Hate to say it but he's kinda right." Leo said.

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

sha na na na na na na na

Knees Knees

“So uh, where do we go?” Raph asked, sitting on the edge of a roof.

“I don’t know, what do people do?” Donnie asked, taking off a mini camera from his toolbelt taking a picture of the streets

“Hang out at corner stores?"

“Yeah but the problem is, we’re freaks and they’re normal. Everything could go wrong with we hang out with humans!” Donnie brought up.

“Hey we're not freaks! We're just.... Inhuman i guess."

"That's the best you could come up with?" Leo asked sarcastically.

"Hey i'm trying-

Look April your dad had to pay us back we already gave the man 2 weeks to do so and it’s been 3 WEEKS, it’s now or never!”

The turtles were interrupted by loud talking from the ground, they looked down from the roof and saw two men walking behind a girl down the streets, trying to overhear the conversation.

Who are they ?”

How the fuck should we know ?” Raph said.

Raph!”

“What? I can’t help it!”

“You gotta stop watching Tarantino movies…”

“Look my dad gets paid this Friday, if Hob can wait 3 more days than hey he'll get his money back." The red haired girl said, being none other than April.

“O'neil we’re trying to work with you here!  The first week was fine, two weeks was alright but THREE?! That’s pushing it! If we don’t have the money before the end of the week it’s our asses!”

“Hey, not my fault you’re working with a stereotypical mobster.” April said smugly.

April rolled her eyes and

“Look, we’re done being nice… Take us to your dad, or else.”

“….. Guys she needs help!”

“Remember what Master Splinter said? Don’t be a hero.”

“Leo we’re literally about to become witnesses of a mugging right now!”

“But-

“Oh- look it’s Jay-Z!”

“Oh shit where?!”

April then punched one of the guys in their back, shoving the other to the ground and began to start running down the block.

" Shitshitshitshitshit!"

“SHE’S GETTING AWAY!”

Crap- look Leo is now or never! What’s it gonna be man?!”

“…Okay let’s follow them and make sure nothing happens to her.” Leo said, getting up and starting to run across the rooftops.

The turtles stuck to the rooftops following April as she was being chased, April was surprisingly faster than the two men and managed to get a bit father away, hell even the turtles were getting left behind, April looked behind her and saw the two gang members were just getting around the corner, April 

“Alright you’ve lost them April, now all you gotta do is get back to your apartment and-

April turned her head back around and her confident look on her face went away as she quickly came to a halt as she was staring at a brick wall. n

“…Never mind, I’m screwed.” April groaned, rubbing her face as she looked at the wall. There was a part of her that hoped the two gang members would ignore the alleyway and pass bye, stereotypical stupidity but she prayed that something like that would happen-

"She's down here!"

April's blood ran cold as she slowly tilted her head around and saw the two thugs, she could see then picking up lead pipes from the ground that were thrown aside, April could already tell what was about to happen, guess this won't be like the movies. April quickly hid behind a trash can as the two  

“You just HAD to do things the hard way.”

“....Actually you know what? Come at me! I bet you guys can’t lay a single hand on me!” April said, getting out of her hiding spot and turning to the thugs, cracking her wrists with a confident look, she had a complete poker face hiding how terrified she actually was.

“Oh you and your dad are gonna be so sorry you little-

HEY JACKASS!

“Wait what?”

The thug looked up and as Raph jump off the fire escape and making a war cry as he raised his Sai's only to by kicked in the stomach before he landed and crashed into some trash can's.

Ow- my stomach.” Raph muttered.

“…What the hell kinda costume is that?”

“Did he just…. Jump off that fire escape?"

Heeerreeeees JOHNNY!”

One of the thugs failed to pay attention and Mikey managed to jump onto his back, placing him into a choke hold. Donnie would have jumped down to help instantly but instead of jumping straight down and risking getting hurt, he did the smart thing and got down using his tools, perks of being a tech-genius thanks to watching TV, and then there was Leo. He just climbed down from the fire escape like a normal person. Now this was a 4 v 2, totally unfair.

“Oh shit is this a jumping?!” 

“Screw that we're not going down like this!” The second thug dropping the pipe in his hand and taking out a knife like he’s from the UK. The thug stared daggers at Leo before charging at him

“AHHHHHHHHHHH-

Leo would then just sigh and simply slide out of the way and trip the thug, the knife was still in his hand as Leo walked over to him, rolling over on his back and getting a good look at him.

“What- HEY STAY BACK I’M NOT AFRAID TO- 

The thug pointed his knife at Leo only for him to easily slice off the tip of the knife, then slicing off another piece, and another, and another, and another…..

“H-How-

Leo pulled the thug up by his shirt collar and right up against his face, staring directly into his eyes. 

“Listen, we want you to leave her alone. Or we’ll be back.

The thug just stared at Leo, looking at his hand and realizing it wasn’t made of rubber or anything. It was real. Within a second he now had a look of horror on his face once Leo dropped him.

“H-HELP! SOMEONE HELP!” He yelled as he got up and began to run out of the alley, screaming at the top of his lungs. Now it was just the turtles, April, and an unconscious gang member.

“….Oh thank god that actually worked.” Leo said, sighing, his serious demeanor now gone.

“Wow, thanks for the help. But I’d probably would’ve been able to take those guys myself, plus the whole vigilante thing is so mid 00’s. 

“Uh these aren’t-

“You know, what are these made of?” April said walking close to the turtles, specifically Raph.

"Sorry what?"

“Yeah I know personal space and all but these are so goddamn impressive, it’s like something out of a movie set. Hey how do you get this off-

“OW! Hey watch it lady!” Raph said, swatting April’s hand away from him.”

“… Oh shit that’s your skin . OH FUCK THAT’S YOUR SKIN-

And just like that April immediately realized the truth.

“T-T-This is some Ridley Scott type shit !Jesus!”

April backed up from the turtles and began walking in circles panicking to herself, she almost got jumped and a group of turtles saved her, this was both weird and terrifying since she didn't know their actual intentions.

"You just HAD to be the good guy Leo."

“…. okay April calm down, this is New York. The place is already weird enough. Just calm down.

April calmed her breathing down and turned back at the turtles, trying to figure out what to say, turning back around as she started panicking again.

" Oh god, OH my god. "

"Guys should we do something?" Mikey asked.

"Let's just wait and see what happens..."

April finally got her bearings and took a deep breath before turning towards the turtles.

“So, greetings and salutations?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Hi.”

That sounded so stupid.

"Okay so, just... What are you guys? Other than the fact you look like something out of The X Files..."

"Well we're-

"Nobodies." Raph spoke up interrupting Leo.

"...That's it? Aren't even gonna explain?"

"Well we're not really supposed to be talking with humans in the first place."

"What, so you're supposed to silence me or something? You just saved me from getting jumped and you're just gonna pull some Batman stunts?"

"So let me get

"Hey, so what were those two guys bugging you about?"

"Nothing that you should be concerned about." April said, turning away with her hands in her coat pocket and lying.

"I mean we DID hear the words money and due in the same sentence and considering how this city runs, that's not usually good." Donnie said, 

"....Look, I kinda got a problem that involves my dad."

"Here we go...." Raph said rolling his eyes.

“Okay so look, about three weeks ago my dad went out drinking with some friends the other week and they invited him to play cards, which was a stupid idea in the first place. Things were going smooth, he was on a hot streak.” April began explaining.

“And then?” Leo asked.

“….Then he…. Pretty much lost all that money in the last 2 rounds of the card game and now has to pay it back, and they threatened to get me involved so now I gotta help him as well." April sighed, immediately destroying all hope for the brothers

“…Oh, well how much was it?”

"It.... wasn't much." April said, looking to the side and lying.

"Just tell us!" Raph said, kinda annoyed that the four still here.   

“... He lost 500 dollars.”

“WHAT?!” All of the turtles shouted, they thought it was something in the 10 digits but 500 bucks? That's just absurd

“Yeah that’s what I said as well!

"Who manages to lose 500 dollars in a card game?! Only gambling addicts do!” Raph yelled.

"THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID!" April shouted, somewhat agreeing with the turtle.

"Why are they yelling?" Donnie groaned, looking at Leo who was deep in

"Hey, is there anything you can do to help you?" 

"Huh?"

"I mean we can't just do not do anything after you told us this."

"Leo, splinter specifically said-

"Yeah i know but If leave leave now we're just gonna be like all the other criminals in this city!"

"Wait wait who's Splinter?" April asked

"No one, look I couldn't give a damn about this but do you want our help or not?" Raph asked, growing more and more frustrated.

"....I might have a plan."

"And that is?" Leo asked.

"Well you guys look like you can handle a fight. So basically, we go talk with Hob and tell convince him to drop the debt, if all goes south then we fight our way out. But if it doesn't come to that, let me do the talking, okay?" April explained, hoping the turtles would agree to help.

"Right, right, let me talk with my bros real quick." Leo said, moving back a little before the 4 turtles huddled up.

"Guys what do we do?"

"All I'm hearing is a 'You Problem' right now Leo."

" C'mon man we can't just say no and leave !"

" Hey these guys could be dangerous as hell I don't need you guys getting hurt and then Splinter will be on me for not being a responsible brother !"

"Raph Leo's making some good point, this is the right thign to do and hey, maybe helping her out might mean good things will be coming our way."

"Even though that sounds like something off a fortune cookie, Mikey's right." 

"Alright fine! let's go beat up some guy for this random girl we just met."

The turtles got out of their huddle before turning back to April, waiting for Leo to speak.

"We'll help you out with your dad's money issues alright?"

"You will? Alright, let's go guys. It's a junkyard over near The Bronx, so we got some walking to do." April said clapping her hands and moving b past the turtles beginning to lead the way.

"Oh right, names April by the way."

"Leo, the grumpy one's Raph, the nice guy's Mikey and the silent one is Donnie." Leo said, quickly introducing everyone to April  before they got a move on. the turtles couldn't go on the streets so they climbed back up onto the roof and following April from the rooftops/

"This is so stupid." Raph mumbled.

….

The Turtles and April soon approached a junkyard filled with cars, some being used by gang members and others just being abandoned… Rock and Rap music was blasting all over the place from different cars or boomboxes.

“Okay remember, let me do the talking and don’t do anything drastic, got it?” April said, turning around to the turtles.

“Yep.”

“Got it.”

“Uh huh.”

“Don’t sock someone in the face yet.”

“Okay, just follow my lead. 

April led them into the yard, some of the gang members hanging around stopped what they were doing and looked at April and The Turtles, specifically the turtles.

Whoa.”

“What kind of circus did those motherfuckers come from.”

The teens quickly moved through the junkyard getting looks from all over the place before they arrived in front of a trailer home, where there was guard sitting on the steps to the front door and tossing some dice in the air, before he looked down and saw April and the turtles standing in front of him.

“Look, I need to talk to Hob for a minute.” April said, arms crossed.

“About what?”

“Oh maybe about the weather or something- I’m talking about my dads debt. What else would I be here for?!”

“Alright alright okay, but before that…. What’s up with the freaks in the costumes?” The thug said pointing to Leo and the others behind April.

Did he just call us freaks?” Raph muttered, slight peeved.

“Raph calm down, let her handle this.” Leo whispered to his older brother.

“….Oh ohhhhhhhhhhhh, okay look many people gotta take some drastic measures to stay warm now just knock on the damn door…” April said lying for the turtles kinda annoyed that the guy was asking her so many questions.

At first, the guard looked skeptical but he then realized how could it was so he somewhat believed April.

"Eh, weird costumes though." He said, getting up off the steps and walking up to the trailer door, beginning to knock on it.

Knock Knock Knock

“Hob!”

BANG BANG BANG  

“HOB!”

What?!!!” A grizzly voice came out from inside the mobile home.

“O’neil’s Daughter is here!”

Who?!

“KIRBY’S DAUGHTER! SHE NEEDS TO TALK WITH YOU!”

"Your Dad's name is Kirby?"

"Ha ha asshole…"

'Alright I'm coming. And stop banging that damn door you're a cop!"

The grunt walked down the steps and to the ground waiting for the door to open, they waited until the door flew open hitting the guard rail of the steps and out came Hob. Now here's the thing, everyone wasn't looking at a stereotypical gang leader and everyone besides the turtles were shocked. Standing there was a 6'2 Mutant cat wearing purple gym pants and a white muscle shirt, he had a bandage in his tail and was wearing a black eyepatch on his face. For the first time in their lives, the turtles had fund another mutant that wasn't splinter. It just had to be this jackass of all people.

Whoa…”

“What the?” 

“What?” The eyepatched mutant asked, looking down at April and smoking a cigarette.

“Another Mutant like dad?”

“I thought it was just us and Splinter?” Leo whispered.

“…He looks so fucking cool.”

“Ha. Yeah, right…” Raph grumbled

“Heya Hob, so about my dads money.”

“Let me guess, needs another week? Tell him no I’ve already gave him 3 weeks and that was PRETTY fucking reasonable if you ask me.”

“… why does he sound like Rocket Raccoon if he smoked?” Donnie muttered.”

You know what he kinda does!”

“Hey at least Rocket wouldn’t run a gang.”

“….”

Well if we’re going by the first movie or a possible solo film-

“I was being hypothetical!” Raph said.

“Actually no it’s not about asking for another week?”

“He’s finally paying it back? Well go ahead and give me the money.”

“…About that…” April said, rubbing her neck.

“She isn’t paying any of you jackasses back at all.” Raph said, speaking up. Now EVERYONE was looking at the turtles completely ignoring April.

“…What did he just say to me April?”

“Uh- nothing he’s just being silly! He’s in drama club that’s why he and his brothers are dressed as turtles-

“I said she isn’t paying you guys back so deal with it!”

There was silence in the junkyard for a good few seconds before everyone(besides the turtles and April) started laughing their asses off, some of them laughed mostly so they wouldn't look weird. The laughter then stopped as the turtles slowly started getting ganged up on

"And who are these circle animals?" One of the gang members said, all of them were quick to realize the truth about them because of Hob's whole existence with being a mutant.

"Good job Raph now we're about to get jumped!"

"HOW IS THIS MY FAULT?!"

"Guy's just ignore them uh- they were joking! Yeah they're huge fans of comedians so they're jokesters!"

"You know something April, the thing i hate more in the word is a liar."

Any excuse April could make went out the window after hearing Hob saw that, she gave the turtles a look that basically said, "Please don't screw this up.", she hoped to god that there was away to get them all out of this and at that moment she began thinking of more ways to do that before her and the turtles ended up on a Vice documentary.

:Hey can you guys back up?!"

"Hey i never thought there was more of you guys Hob."

"Raph why didn't you stay quiet?!" Leo whispered.

Leo was seconds away from starting an argument with Raph at the worst time possible until he heard footsteps DIRECTLY behind him and his blood ran cold.

"Man are these shells even real-

"HEY BACK UP!" 

SLICE

Leo’s reflexes kicked in as he quickly took out his katana off his shell and slashed it against the gang member that just walked up behind him, Leo fell to the ground on some snow…..

“Leo are you okay-

Mikey stopped talking as he noticed some blood on the ground, hell everyone froze and looked at the guy who walked up behind leo…. His entire left hand was cut off. 

“…..”

“…..”

“….”

“Wh-What the FUCK?!”

“OH SHIT THAT FREAK CUT LENNY’S HAND OFF!”

“GET EM!”

Raph quickly headbutted a thug before grabbing Leo while the others rushed to find safety, next thing they knew they were all getting shot at as they scrambled behind a car.

“I thought I told you guys I had this handled?!

“HE WALKED UP BEHIND ME WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?!” Leo yelled.

“Okay well what do we do about the CRAPTON of Gangsters behind this rock??!” Mikey asked.

“C’mon I’m sure it's not that bad….” Donnie said, trying to be positive. Donnie then looked out from their hiding spot and saw about 20 to 30 gang members counting Hob, all holding bats or lead pipes.

“Never mind we’re definitely dead.” Donnie muttered. However, Raph noticed the mutant cat heading back into his trailer. Something clicked in the turtle that, he’s the reason they’re even here to begin with, started the whole thing over a card game and he’s not even gonna fight them head on?

“That little….”

"Raph?"

"Okay guys, I got an idea. I'm gonna go beat the shit out of that cat while you hold these guys off."

"What?!"

"Wait you're going in alone?"

"Look it's just one guy and there's like 30 to 40 people I gotta get through, If you guys can by me some time by taking some of them out I can get into that trailer and show that guy a thing or two."

"What are you even trying to get out of this man?!"

"look April, we've been hiding from the world for all our lives. I was being a coward back then not wanting to help but now? I ain't letting that asshole get away!"

"...April

"Donnie you got a flash grenade on you?"

"Yeah hold on."

While Donnie was searching his belt for a grenade, the gang members stood infront of the car just waiting for the turtles to come out, it was taking forever and some of them were just getting bred or wanted to go home.

"..Yeah screw this i'm outta here, i'm tired of waiting." One gang member said heading to his bike.

"How long are we gonna wait for them to come out?" Another gang member asked.

"I don't know but I ain't got all day."

"Look let's just, break their arms and call it a day okay?"

"Yeah we all got places to be..."

"Hey kids! We wanna go home, you wanna go home so just come on out and let us kick your asses a bit-

One of the thugs was interrupted as a flashbang was thrown from behind the car and at the group.

"...Is that a flas-

BANG!!!

The flashbang went off causing all of the gang members to be blinded, everything was ringing and they couldn't hear anything, especially what was about to happen.    

"ALRIGHT GO!"

 Raph jumped onto and off the abandoned car while the others moved into action. Raoh maneuvered through the yard as gang members were falling left and right with yells coming all over the place, he made it to Hob's trailer and swung the door back and entered the trailer, unsheathing his Sai's as he pulled the door open rushing into the trailer. Leaving the four other teens to handle the fodder gang outside. The turtles were doing there best to not do any lethal damage, specifically Leo since one slash could sever someone's organ or body part off. Donnie and Mikey on the other hand? it was easy for them. All they had to do was dodge and weave and attack at the right times, and surprisingly, April was handling herself well. Her dad made her take self-defense classes once she started Middle School since the city is pretty dangerous when you least expect it.

"Crap crap crap!" 

Leo tried his best to not critically injure anyone, he kept using the handle of his katan to hit the gang members in their necks or stomachs to slow then down but still had to resort to using his blade when he was getting cornered. Donnie was using his tools to his advantage and was taking down gang members with ease. Honestly had nothing to worry about since he would just swing his nunchucks around hitting the nearest person in the face, neck, leg or gut and April was right besides him helping him out.

"Jesus is this ever gonna end?!"

Meanwhile....

"HEY FURBALL!"

Raph's eyes darted around the kitchen of the trailer home, there were dishes in the sink with an half empty bottle of detergent on the counter, 

"Where is he?"

Right then Raph's reflexes kicked in as he heard something flying towards him at Mach speed, luckily he ducked and dodged whatever was about to hit him."

"CRAP!"

Raph turned his head around and saw a knife in the wall behind him, 

"That sneaky...."

Raph suddenly heard whistling in the distance, he jerked his head to his left and saw Hob walking out of a room wrapping his hands in bandage wrap, before glaring at the other mutant.

"You know, you are pretty stereotypical you that?" The cat sneered.

"What the hell do you mean stereotypical?"

"Let's see. Kids find girl, girl asks them to help her with a problem she could've solved if her dad payed me on time, kids decide to help, , you know how by the book that sounds?"

"Yeah keep talking, just wait and see?"

"I mean, let's be honest have you EVER fought someone before or are those toys just for show?"

Jus tlike that, Raph lost it. he began charging Hob with deadly intentions, Unfortunately for Raph, he never actually fought anyone besides his brothers so before he could even attack Hob,    nb  he had socked him in the face, Raph got slammed into the fridge door and quickly rolled out of the way so he wouldn’t have been hit with a chair that Hob threw at him. He took out his Sai’s hoping to stab Hob in the leg or arm but Hob quickly disarmed him when he tried to bull rush him.

“Are you even trying to even fight?” Hob said, almost disappointed before he threw Raph onto the edge of a table.

The turtle quickly got back and went to kick the Cat in the stomach, unfortunately he had the same idea so the two ended up kicking each other and got sent flying onto the floor, Raph jerked his head up seeing the other mutant already get back up, he then looked over and grabbed a broken chair leg and hit it against Hob’s right leg.

“FUCK-

Raph quickly rushed up to Hob, punching him in the face but Hob retaliated and headbutted Raph before starting to lay hands on Raph, bro was giving him the Omni-Man treatment with how bad he’s beating him up….

“Look Kid, this is just sad at this point…. Just crawl out of here and you and your brothers never show up again…” Hob said, almost as if he actually wanted Raph and the others to leave.

“Go… Go to hell….”

“Well, suit yourself.”

Hob walked up to Raph ready to knock him out but he didn’t notice Raph taking out one of his Sai’s and stabbing him in the leg.

“AGHH- YOU LITTLE SH-

Raph then tackled Hob, however the Cat kicked him off him with his other leg…. Raph got back up exhausted and covered in bruises, same could be said for Hob… The two stood there still is fighting positions catching their breath before they started to fight, this time Raph started using his Sai’s to fight back, he managed to gets some cuts on Hob and stabbed him in the arm before slamming him against a wall, holding his Sai’s against Hob’s neck, not on it, but close to it.

“Guess… you’re not that bad for a runt.”

“Now, here’s what’s gonna happen… You’re gonna drop any money April’s dad owes you, or else….” Raph said, slowly raising his Sai towards Hob’s working eye.

“You…. You don’t have it in you to actually do it…” Hob chuckled, almost temping Raph to kill him.

“I swear to god I’m not playing….” Raph said, his hands slowly started to shake, what else was he supposed to do? All he needed to do was convince him to drop the debt and this is how far it good 

“….Fine, I won’t ask for the money back… Now put the fucking knives away from me.”

“They’re sai’s .” Raph said, letting go of Hob putting away his sai’s before turning around to leave the trailer.

Raph limped out of the trailer and back outside to see what was going on, he was greeted with a literal bloodbath as a bunch of Hob’s thugs were lying on the ground bruised, bleeding and laid out in the snow…. Mikey was helping April up, Donnie was laid out in the ground in a pile of snow… It was horrible out there.

“Oh my god man I’m sorry man I didn’t mean to do that to you are you alright?!”

“You… You slashed my fucking chest how could I be okay ?” The thug said, looking at Leo wanting to beat up the turtle even more.

“Hey, hey I think I’m gonna just go home….” One of the thugs that was beat up said.

“Yeah me too.”

“Hey I’m taking Lenny to the hospital anyone injured should come on and go."

“Holy crap Raph what happened to you!?”  

“Hey April, tell your dad he doesn’t gonna worry about these guys any more. I had a word with that Garfield rip-off.” Raph chuckled and raised a bloody sai.

“….Did you stab his other eye out-

“WHAT NO- Why would you think of that?!”

“I’m sorry but when I see a knife COVERED IN BLOOD I’d probably think something bad happened!”

“Okay first of all it’s a Sai and second I only stabbed him in the arm!”

While Raph and April were debating the difference between a knife and a Sai, Hob was limping out of his trailer and was greeted by his thugs leaving the junkyard.

“Hey where the hell are y’all going!!?!” Hob yelled at the gang members leaving and limping out of the junkyard.

“This ain’t worth it man I ain’t coming back!” One of the gang members said, getting in his car.

“Yeah man I ain’t losing my hand as well dealing with you no more!”

“Look Hob, I respect you but I ain’t messing around with literal turtles that carry weapons like they’re samurai! You might have to get new gang members cause I’m getting the hell outta here and not coming back!” One thug said putting his coat on and leaving the junkyard just like that.

“What the hell- GET BACK HERE YOU COWARDS!”

“Ey O’Neil, tell your turtle friends thanks for the wake up call I ain’t messing with gangs no more!” One thug said.

And just like that the whole Junkyard was empty, Leaving the turtles, April and Hob the only ones still the only one's left in the area.  

“So, what do we do about him?” Leo said pointing to Hob, dude was honestly pissed of about what  just went down.

“Hey he dropped the debt, let’s leave the furball alone and leave-

“Hold up hold up hold up before ANY of you leave I need to get this through my head … Why the hell would you do any of this for a human?” The cat asked, lighting a cigarette and sitting down on the steps to his trailer.

“It was the right thing to do.” Mikey responded.

“The.... right thing to do? Is that what you're saying?"

"yeah, and?" Raph said, speaking for Mikey.

“….”

The mutant then started laughing his ass off at what the turtles were telling him, they didn't why he found this hysterical, but it was to him. Everything that happened was hysterical

“Wait what’s so funny?”

“So so so let me get this straight, you 4 have only been out in this city for 6 HOURS and you’ve already managed to get my entire gang to quit all because you wanted to do good?!” 

“Yeah what’s the problem?!” 

“…..So you 4 have any idea what kind of place this is?”

“Uh no?”

“Hey what the hell's up with the ominous message man, do you want me to kick your ass even more?!” Raph shouted.

“Wow! I got beat up by some kids who don’t even know what’s right and wrong about this hellhole! This is just-

“Hey did Raph give you brain damage or something?” April asked, hands in her coat.

“You think that just because you managed to get everyone ? This whole damn city is a Warzone in the shadows! You got mafias, yakuza, EVERY criminal organization on the planet all in this city and running this place like puppeteers.

“Hey uh, maybe we should go back before Splinter gets worried…” Mikey said.

“Yeah we gotta fix Donnie up.”

“Hey where do you guys live?

“Yeah uh, maybe you don’t wanna-

“Hey you helped me out with this whole thing, the least I can do is help you guys get back home!” April said, interrupting Leo.

"Okay fine

Right before he started to walk away with the others, Raph turned back around walking start toward Hob and grabbed him by his shirt collar pulling hi, directly towards Raph's face with fury still in his eyes. 

“Don’t fuck with us, ever.” Raph said, looking at the cat dead in the eye before letting go of his shirt collar and walking back to the turtles and April.

 "Let's go." Rpah said, catching up with the other four and walking away from the junkyard.

Hob watched as the teens left, he was pissed off yet was somehow impressed. Four mutants who just experienced their first time on the surfaced managed to take down his entire gang, all to help some girl with her dad's problem. It was a stuck up reason to do so but there was a part of him that respected them all, the cat held his arm as he pulled himself up and began shouted at the teens walking away

“I’LL BE WATCHING YOU FOUR! And hey, WELCOME TO NEW YORK!”

….

After some walking and being able to get away being seen by anyone, The Turtles and April found their way back to the sewers, and April was still perplexed that they even lived in the sewers. However, it was Nighttime and they were way late then they expected so they had to sneak into their home, on top of listening to April's questions

“So what you’re saying is, You guys live in the sewers with your dad who’s basically a Rat, and he trained you all this Ninja Stuff as self defense and not to stage a coup or uprising or anything?” April asked, watching her steps.

“He told us he used to be a writer before he became a mutant. I don't think he could do anything like that unless he was lying.” 

“What you told me is that your dad is a half-decrepit talking rat with a cane who watches Daytime shows and reads old poetry, he has to be an ex-yakuza if he knows all that.”

The group entered their home, the lights were off which made things more tense on their part, but there was no sound of a TV or microwave running.

Damn, why is it so dark?”

Just stay quiet.

 Donnie pushed the door open to the living room with his staff, Splinter is usually in here when he's not in his room, after Donnie made his way into the room, the others followed in soon after/

Okay he's, I think he should be asleep-

Click

“Where were you four?”

The turtles and April froze in place as the lights turned on in the living room and they turned around to see Splinter sitting on his Sofa with a book in his hand and a cup of tea on a side table next to the sofa.

“Oh, hi dad.” Mikey said, nervously.

“You’re an hour late, you better have a good reason why that is…”

“So about-

“Wait- what happened to Donatello why are all of you injured- and…. Is that a human?” Splinter said, immediately going into dad mode, getting up from his dead to go up to check up on all the turtles, before finally noticing the elephant(human) in the room, April. 

“Sup…… Mr. Ratburn?” April said, nervously chuckling at the 6 Foot Mutant Rat.

“Well, Master Splinter- this is April, we met her while we were on the surface and helped out with her dads debt to a gang-

“You what?” Splinter said,  interrupting Mikey and eyes widening

“You told us to do good things so we thought this could’ve been our first good deed!”

“So you beat up a gang for a human-

Splinter stopped speaking and turned back towards Leo, noticed him whistling and hiding the blood on his shell, and it was clear as day that it obviously wasn’t his…..

“Leonardo, why do you have blood on your shell?”

“….So uh, here’s an even more Funny story…..” 

So after a little bit of fussing, the turtles got Splinter to sit down and began to explain what had happened while they were on top.

“….Okay so let me get this straight. You four helped April here fight off two thugs who were harassing her, and found out that her dad lost 200 bucks playing Cards to a gang leader, who turned out to be Mutant like us…… When things were starting to seem like they were getting out of hand when they weren’t, Leonardo cut off one of the gang members' left hand. Which led to a fight with all of you and the gang, Raphael thought the Cat, you said his name was Hob right?”

“Yeah?”

“Afterwards Raphael fought him inside his trailer, you somehow won and managed to convince him to drop April’s fathers debt that he owed, and because you all fought back and nearly killed ALL of the thugs in that junkyard you managed to get them all to quit his gang…. Which means you wiped an entire gang all to help this girl, is that correct?” Splinter asked, just looking baffled.

“Yes…”

“….” 

“You five actually wiped out an entire gang in under an hour?” Splinter had so many emotions going through him, he relieved that his sons were safe but still angry that they almost got themselves killed along with an innocent person

“Well technically they decided to quit.” Donnie added.

“…… 何てことだ(Oh My God…) .” Splinter murmured, placing down his cup of tea and rubbing his face, looking at his sons and their new unintentional friend.

“Look, I know you’re probably mad but it’s not their fault they asked to help-

“That’s not what I’m mad about, and this is not your fault Miss O’Neil. I’m upset about the way you four handled this whole ordeal.” Splinter said in a disappointed voice.

“What were we supposed to do they had crowbars and baseballs balls and they would’ve kicked out fucking asses-

Language, Raphael.”

“Sorry, they would’ve beat us all up if we didn’t do anything.”

“Well you didn’t have to cut one of their hands off if you wanted that to go another way.”

“Look, Dad, I’m sorry for what we did but he snuck up behind me. It felt like a life or death situation!”

“Was he armed?”

“….No, No he wasn’t.”

“Well there was a chance he wouldn’t have done anything.”

“Look sir with all respect, and excuse my language but those guys were crazy as hell! They wouldn’t have needed weapons to hurt them Leo was in the right for defending himself!”

"And I understand but they had no right no-

"Master Splinter just hear her out she's telling the truth!"

"Fine then, explain April."

"I tried to deal with my problems on my own but they insisted on helping me. Even after they saved me in that alley despite how I could've handled this all myself, look I thought they would've dipped the first moment they saw Hob but they still stood their ground the whole time! If it wasn't for them god knows what would've happened to me or my dad, I'm don't got much but I owe them one for helping me out today. It wasn't about being heroes they did what they had to do and at the end? They ended up doing the right thing."

Splinter was about to speak up but he stopped for a second, everything April was saying sounded true, the turtles saved her even though they didn't have to, yet they went of their and behind his rules to help April out, he felt proud of it. 

“….I’ll let this incident slide just this once.” Master Splinter said, getting up from his couch and using his staff to walk out of the room.

“So we can go back out tomorrow?”

“Oh? I forgot, you four are grounded for a week.”

“….OH COME ON!”

“You did a good thing, but I still have to punish you four for almost getting yourselves killed."  Splinter said, turning to the boys before he closed the door. Afterwards there was a long amount of silence between the 5 teens, no one knew what to say especially after all that went down.

“April is... Is New York always like that?” Mikey asked

“To be honest? Yeah it kinda is…. For normal people it’s just another city…… but there’s so many crime going on from the shadows 

“….”

“Guys, I have an idea.” Leo said, causing the silence to end.

“And that is?” April asked.

“So if the city won’t get better, maybe we can be the change it finally needs….”

“….Pardon?” Donnie asked, looking at Leo. He’s smart but he’s kinda perplexed at what he’s trying to say.

“Hold on Don let the man cook.” April said to the twin Turtle, hoping Leo might say something interesting.

“Okay hear me out, what if we decide to do things our own way and help out around the city? Like The Boondocks Saints!” Leo suggested.

“Wait, how do you guys know about that?” April asked.

“Our dad has a tv and we watch whatever’s on every now and then.” Mikey responded.

“Well, you guys know about Spider Man? Well what if the five of us become Vigilantes and help stop crime? Seriously guys we’d be perfect for it!” 

“…..”

Crickets 

Everyone would just suddenly burst out laughed out loud at Leo's idea on becoming Vigilantes.

"Nice joke bro!"

They all kept laughing until they looked at Leo and saw how serious he was, and just like that the laughter stopped in the blink of an eye.

"....Oh he's serious..."

“Leo, do you hear yourself right now?” Raph asked, now perplexed as well.

“C’mon guys we took out a gang what’s stopping us from fighting crime?”

“A lot of things…” Raph said, with his arms crossed.

“And what if there are more mutants out there? Maybe we can help them out or get them to help us!”

“it was just that one guy Leo that could've been a 1 in 100 rare chance we come across another mutant!"

"But what if we DO find more in New York? I wouldn't hurt to have a change in heart Raph!"

It took everyone a good minute to think about what Leo was telling them, and to think about everything that had happened through the day. Maybe Leo was right, mybe they could be the change the city finally needed.

“Leo you sound crazy as hell, but if we wanna make a mark in the world then screw it let’s kick some criminals asses then!” Raph said, bawling his hand into a fist.

"Alright Raph! What about you guys?" Leo asked, looking at the other three teens.

“Look I'm gonna be honest, this sounds stupid as hell and could probably get us killed, but I still owe you guys for helping me out so I could borrow my dads police scanner and we could start from there." April said, also agreeing to help.

"Well you already know me and Don are gonna help, right Donnie?" Mikey asked Donnie, who was already sidetracked and reading some Stephen King novel Splinter had gave him.

"Don..." Mikey sighed, snapping his fingers.
 
"Huh? what- Oh yeah, vigilantism or something let's do it."

“So it's settled, once we're in the clear and things blow over. We'll start our patrols around the neighborhood, and besides guys…"

“What’s the worst that could happen?”

...

...

...

Those six words, those six words sealed all five of their fates, better yet, sealed the future of New York. This idea alone would throw the turtles and everyone around them into a world of chaos from this moment on……

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles….

Welcome

To

The

Jungle

 An Iteration Directed by The Coen Brother(Not really)

To Be Continued   

 

Notes:

After months of writers block and procrastinating, I've finally returned to the world of fanfiction stronger than ever.. Also sorry if some parts don't make sense I'll try to go back and edit things but this chapter has been kicking my ass for the entire week and I'm finally glad i could finish this and take a break. I'll try to get three more chapter's out in the next two to three months since I'm already starting to figure things out and I have a plan for this entire iteration and how long it's gonna last. But other than that, stay tuned for future chapters of this... Pretty much an Tarantino and Gunn film...

 

Also sorry if this wasn't worth the hype i know it's almost been a year but school has been kicking my ass so bad that i kept forgetting to start back writing and then writer's block kicked in, so if some scenes are shorter than others I'll try to fix that in the later chapters
