Work Text:
It was just another sunny day in New York City. As Leonardo, Donatello and their 2 human friends, Cassidy and Caleb were walking out of the local Connivence Store while holding a cup of slushy in their hands.
As it turns out that they had a competition where the winner will get to choose the flavour/combo of the slushy for everyone. And turns out that it was Cassidy who won it.
And so while they are walking down the streets, Donnie takes a sip of the slushy and then looks at Cassidy.
“Hmm, yeah sorry Cassidy. But BlackBerry and Grape don’t mix well. Especially since they are based on the synth doll you always carry.” Donnie said to Cassidy.
“Look Donnie, I won that game of Rock, Paper, Scissors fair and square. Besides Caleb enjoys the flavour I chose for the slushy, right brother? Cassidy asked her twin brother Caleb.
“Oh yeah there’ really good. She know’s which flavours of slushy would be based on the characters from her favourite dreamworks franchise.” Caleb said.
“Yeah, I’ll have to agree with Dontron. As Blueberry and Lime tastes like I’m drinking acid and electrical wires.” Leo said as he spits the drink out.
“Come on, we’re almost home. And the sooner we get back to our apartment, the sooner we can have something else to drink.” Cassidy said to Leo.
But then while everyone else was walking, Leo suddenly noticed something on the ground of the Alleyway. And when he walks towards it, it turns out to be his old collar.
The same gift that Donnie gave him to “help” him with his bad jokes. The red eared slider turtle was confused about what the collar was doing here. But before he could question it furthermore, he suddenly gets knocked about by someone holding a bat
And after that he falls unconscious
————————————————————————————————————————————————
“Hey, where did Leo?” Cassidy said. The trio had noticed that Leonardo is not with them right now, but they did noticed him going to the alleyway.
And when they see whats going on, they saw him hitting knocked out by a familiar face who was carrying a baseball bat. And then they witness that person flee with Leo.
“Hey! Come back here with my twin brother. You Kidnapper!” Donnie said angrily. And so they chase after the person but then gets stopped by an invisible forcefield that the person seems to get through.
“Gasp. Foiled by a forcefield.” Donnie said. “And great we lost the kidnapper and Leo.” Cassidy said as they watch the person entering a building with Leo.
“Wait. That Building looks familiar.” Caleb said. “Yeah your right bro. It looks like a Abandoned Hospital.” Cassidy said as they all look at the building.
“Well guess like, we shoul try and figure out how to enter it and save Leo.” Donnie said.
And so they try all they can to get pass through the invisbke forcefield. With Cassidy using her Signature Synth Attack on it, Caleb trying to stab it with his sword and Donnie use Tech-Bo to cut through it.
Until finally they were able to get through it by working together. And so they enter the building. But what they don’t know is that they just went past a sign with a dragon symbol on it. Which might be meaning something.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
When Leo woke up a few minutes later, he sees that he isn’t outside with his friends and twin brother. But instead he’s in a room with a large glass for viewing, and whats even worse is that he’s wearing the old collar again.
But its ok because Donnie had programmed it to shock him when he makes a bad joke. So it couldn’t be that bad right?
But he was proven wrong when suddenly the TV goes on and he sees on it a famialr foe or trio.
“Hello there blue one.” Jase said.
“How’s it going?” Jeremy said.
“And welcome, to the new base of the Purple Dragons.” Kendra said.
“Oh great. Not you nerds again.” Leo said being annoyed.
Of course it would be The Purple Dragons who not only kidnapped him and had him wear the old collar that Donnie made for him.
“What are you guys doing this time?” Leo asked in an angry tone.
“Well you see blue. We have come up with a new plan, and that revolves around us kidnapping you and having you as bate for when Donnie comes and try to rescue you.” Kendra replied.
“Oh and by the way Kendra. I don’t see anything dangerous with the collar. As Donnie had programmed it to shock me, if I make a joke.” Leo said.
“Oh really? Well then, how about you take back what you said right now!” Jase said as he presses a button.
And this causes the shock collar on Leo to go off and electrocute him. And it stings like hell.
He doesn’t get it. The thing was only made to “help” him with his bad jokes. But now it was shocking him. Which was weird since he hasn’t even made up a joke. Until eventually the electrocution stops and he can breathe again.
“What just happened?” Leo asked being confused.
“Oh yeah, we came across the collar when a pig mutant named Meat-sweats put it in the trash. And so we reprogrammed it to shock you whenever we want, thanks to a push of this button.” Kendra said.
“Yeah. And besides, that was the lowest shock. As if we turn the dial to the highest setting, then its goodbye for you.” Jase said.
And hearing this freaks Leo out. He needs to get out of there before he dies from being electrocuted too much. But thats when he remembers that Donnie and their 2 human friends Cassidy and Caleb might be there to save him.
And so after the TV turns out, he just sits there in silence and waits for rescue to come. While also touching the collar and tries to take it off.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
It was about 5 minutes since they have entered the building but there was no sign of Leo anywhere.
“Come on Leo, if you can respond to my voice, then we will know that your here somewhere.” Donnie said.
Until eventually they come across a room where the spiny softshell turtle spots his twin and gets worried about him.
“Dontron?” Leo asked as he sees Donnie and the weatherman twins. “Yeah its me Nardo. Are you ok?” Donnie replied.
“Yeah but right now I’m being held captive by the Purple Dragons.” Leo said.
“The Purple Dragons?” Donnie, Cassidy and Caleb said being shcoked by what Leo just said.
“Oh, I knew those high school bullies would be behind this evil scheme!” Cassidy said angrily.
Until suddenly another TV turns on, revealing the Purple Dragons.
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t Donnie, that troll loving freak Cassidy and her annoying twin brother Caleb.” Kendra said.
“Let Leo go, you evil fiends.” Donnie demanded.
“Oh we will. If you guys can do a simple task under the time limit. Jase, summon our latest Creation.” Kendra said.
“Ok sis. Your the boss.” Jase said as he presses another button.
Suddenly a Giant Dragon Robot appears out of the ground which shocks the trio including Leo. It was huge, it had Missiles in its wings and its purple.
“Say hello to the Mecha-Dragon 2000!” Kendra said, topped of with an evil laugh.
“So you want us to fight a robot dragon?” Donnie asked.
“Yes. Here’s the rules of this task. You guys have 3 minutes to defeat the robot and save your brother. If you guys are able to do that in time, then we have no choice but to release the collar of his neck and set him free. But if the timer runs out, then say goodbye to your brother. As we will set the collar to the highest setting.” Kendra said evilly.
“What? No!” Donnie said, becoming worried for Leo.
“Oh yes, see what happens if Jase presses this button. And don’t worry its only on the lowest setting right now.” Kendra said as Jase presses the button again.
And so the trio are forced to watch Leo getting zapped by the collar as it was painful for him to endure. Until eventually it was over, and Donnie could tell that his heck was getting burned by it.
And upon seeing this, it’s clear that they don’t have a choice. And so Donnie looks at the purple dragons and speaks to them.
“Alright. You gotten yourself a deal Kendra.” Donnie said to the Purple Dragons.
“yeah! And by the way the way you said the rules of this task, kinda reminded me and Caleb of Jigsaw but worse.” Cassidy said.
“Yeah, I guess your right. And beside we can all agree that Saw 3D is the worst film of the movie franchise.” Caleb said to Cassidy.
“Oh for sure. Even though it had some cool traps like the silence circle trap, the horsepower trap, the hangman trap the-“ Cassidy said.
“Silence!” Kendra yells before she commanded the dragon to attack the trio.
“Donnie! Cassidy! And Caleb! You guys alright?” Leo asked after he witnessed what happened. “Yeah, we’re fine Nardo.” Donnie replied before they got back up.
“Now then. The timer starts now. Good luck.” Kendra said.
And so the 3 minute timer begins.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Not long after the timer started, the trio started battling the robot dragon. And it was a bit hard. Especially since it keeps firing it’s missiles at them.
But Donnie is still determined to destroy that machine, and save his twin brother from getting electrocuted to death.
By the 1 minute mark, they still weren’t making any progress as the dragons was still not damaged by them. But they keep trying thanks to Leo cheering for them. As he hopes that they will win and save him.
And seeing that they have only 2 minutes left, Donnie decides to come up with a new plan.
“Cassidy, Caleb, you guys go and destroy the dragon robot. While I and go break the glass and get the collar out of Leo’s neck. Got it?” Donnie said with the weatherman twins nodding their heads meaning yes.
And so the plan was put into action as Cassidy and Caleb do their best to destroy the mech, while Donnie runs over to Leo and tries to break the glass wall.
But it turns out that by doing this causes the Collar to automatically shock Leo with the setting going higher and higher. But Donnie doesn’t notice this because he just wants to save his twin.
But then by the 2 minute marks, thats when they hear the countdown.
“Alright you losers. We kill the turtle in 60 seconds, so be quick.” Kendra said before she starts the countdown. And this totally stresses them out.
As Donnie tries harder and faster to break the glass wall which kinda works as he was able to get in a few cracks. While Cassidy and Caleb were able to destroy the dragon mech with their swords and mystic powers.
And so by the 2:30 minute marks, the dragon mech has been destroyed by the two of them.
But for some reason the countdown keeps going.
“Hah we trick you!” Jase said.
“Yeah the countdown is still going, even though you guys did what we told you to do.” Jeremy said.
They couldn’t believe that this whole thing was rigged. Even though they did do what they were told, leo was still going to die by getting electrocuted.
And upon hearing that this was all a trick, Donnie tries harder and harder to break the glass wall while also listening to the countdown going faster and faster.
5…
Cracks started appearing on the glass wall.
4…
And then more of them appears.
3…
And then more.
2…
And then more.
1…
Until eventually the glass wall shatters and Donnie was now able to try and get the collar of Leo but it was already too late.
“Beep! Too late losers. Say goodbye to your turtle companion.” Kendra said.
“NO!” Cassidy and Caleb screamed
And so the collar automatically starts at the highest setting as it shocks Leo really badly with Donnie seeing it before he was able to do anything to help.
His twin brother was getting mercilessly electrocuted by the collar. It really scared him, and he thinks that it’s scaring Leo too.
But maybe he can still take it out of his neck before its too late. And so thats what Donnie did.
But upon doing so he gets electrocuted by the collar too.
And it was a painful sight to see both of the twin brothers getting electrocuted.
And even though it hurts a lot. At least he can die with his twin brother. He wasn’t afraid of death actually, he felt relaxed and calm. Maybe it has something to prove that dying is actually peaceful and calming.
And so as he felt his heart stopped, the collar turns off. While he and Leo collapses onto the ground and blacks out together.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
“Leo!” Cassidy screamed.
“Donnie!” Caleb also screamed.
“Huh, didn’t expect Donnie to also die. Oh well, now that he’s gone we can finally get back to our plans of taking over the Nakamura building.” Kendra said.
“Hey! You guys forgot that we have one thing that will stop you. Our phones.” Caleb said.
“Hah, and how are you going to stop up with that dork?” Jase said.
“Oh you all see. {then she pretends to call the police.} Hello New York City Police Department? There are 3 teenagers at this abandoned hospital, trying to find some dead bodies here. Yeah, you hear me right. They plan on cutting up their organs and selling them to children. Young children, especially ages from 1 to 6! So come here right now and arrest them!” Cassidy said on the phone.
“Oh dang! She really is calling the Popo.” Jeremy said.
“Their gonna put us in death trail because of what she told them. Lets get out of here, sis!” Jase said to Kendra.
“Fine. Only because, dead bodies are gross and traumatising to look at, well except for at the cemetery. We’ll be back for you freaks! Purple Dragons out!” Kendra said as the TV turns off and the weatherman twins here them leave the building.
And so just like that their gone now. “Wait did you, pretend to call the poilce on them?” Caleb asked Cassidy.
“Yep. It’s called lying and tricks bro. Now come on, lets go check if Donnie and Leo are ok.” Cassidy replied.
And so the two of them rushes to the are where Leo and Donnie are as they see them lying on the ground. And then they see the device to the collars which thankfully unlocks it.
And oh boy, was it so bad and gruesome seeing Leo’s neck having burn marks on it. But now was not the time to worry about it, as they still need to check if their ok. Especially since what happened to them.
But when they check both Leo and Donnie’s pulse at the same time. They realised that neither of them have a pulse. And this really scares them.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
“What are we going to do Cassidy? Their dead!” Caleb asked being scared.
“Maybe we should call the hospital.” Cassidy said as she pulls out her phone.
“No! We don’t want the hospital staff to know that their mutants. We’re just gonna have to give them CPR.” Caleb asked as he takes the phone away.
“Are you sure bro?” Cassidy asked.
“Yes I’m sure. I’ll do it on Leo while you do it on Donnie.” Caleb replied.
“Right. Ok Cassidy, just remember what you learned in first aid class at school last week.” Cassidy said to herself.
And so they go over to their friends and starts doing CPR on each of them.
But it might be pointless because their heart had stopped due to it getting electrocuted really badly. But their not gonna give up, as thats what friends are for.
So they go over the first step which are the chest compressions meaning that they must pump on their friends’ chest for about 30 times. And then after that was mouth to mouth which is basically blowing on their mouth to give them more oxygen for about 3 times.
And even though the first time they did was a bit awkward and unsuccessful, they continue to do it perfectly.
But then after 3 times, it seems like their friends are not coming back from the dead. They were both starting to worry that both Leo and Donnie might be gone. But they keep trying anyways.
And then after about 10 rounds of CPR later, Cassidy suddenly hears Donnie gasping and even coughing for air, which makes her relieved.
“Caleb, Donnie’s till alive!” She said to her twin brother.
“You can say that again. Because look, Leo’s still alive too.” Caleb said as they both see Leo also gasping for air and starting coughing too.
They did it. They saved their turtle friends from being dead. The CPR method was a success.
And now they get to watch as the disaster twins both stop coughing and start breathing for that sweet and gullible air that they had been longing after going without it for 3 minutes.
“Are they ok? We were so close, Caleb. As humans and even mutant’s brain cells can go on without oxygen for 4 minutes.” Cassidy asked.
“Yeah their ok. But they still need a bit more time to wake up.” Caleb replied.
And so the Weatherman Twins picks both Donnie and Leo up as they all walk out of the abandoned hospital and eventually makes it back to the apartment.
Where they make it back to their apartment complex and sets both Leo and Donnie up on a couch and hopefully waits for them to both wake up.
————————————————————————————————————————————————
The first brother to wake up was Donnie. Last time he was awake, he was getting electrocuted alongside Leo. But now they were in the Weatherman’s apartment complex and Leo was right besides him sleeping.
He didn’t know whats going on especially since he thought that they had both died from the electric shocks. But thats when he notices Leo waking up too, and he also notices that his twin brother has a bandage wrapped around his neck.
“Donnie. Your finally awake.” Cassidy said as sh and Caleb are glad that he and Leo are both awake now.
“What happened?” Donnie asked. “Y-yeah, w-what h-h-happened?” Leo also asked.
“It’s a long story, but how’s not the point right now. The point is that you both are still alive.” Cassidy replied.
“Yeah plus while you guys were sleeping, I wrapped Leo’s neck up with bandage as, oh jeez how gnarly and nasty it is with those burn marks.” Caleb said.
“So, you guys, brought us back from the dead?” Donnie asked again.
“Oh uh, yeah. You guys were dead for 3 minutes. But luckily thanks to the power of first aid classes, we both used CPR to restart your hearts.” Cassidy replied.
“Yeah just sit right there, while we make some cookies and hot chocolate to make you guys feel better about what happened.” Caleb said as he and Cassidy both enters the kitchen.
And so Donnie and Leo just sat in silence for a minute before Leo finally talked to him.
“I can’t believe that they found the collar you made for me, and used it against me.” Leo said.
“What do you mean?” Donnie asked.
“Well, you programmed it to electrocute me whenever I make puns, but they reprogrammed it to kill me. And if I have to choose between the two. I’l probably choose the setting where it shocks me every time I make a pun.” Leo replied
Donnie was speechless. He didn’t realised how much the collar had traumatised his twin brother. All he wanted to do was to help him stop making up bad puns and act more mature.
But thanks to the Purple Dragons and their idiotic schemes, it seems like that Leo will never forget about what the collar had did to him.
So he talks to Leo through sign languages.
“Look Leo. I’m sorry. I didn’t realised how much pain and trauma that shock collar had caused to you. And the Purple Dragon made it worse by making it kill you and me. But if it wasn’t for Cassidy and Cassidy following me, then we would've both been dead forever. But I’m glad they came, and I’m glad that we’re still alive as twins.” Donnie signed to Leo.
And understanding what Donnie is signing to him, Leo signs back.
“It’s ok Dontron. I forgive you. And I love you too.” Leo signed back to Donnie.
And so the two of them hug each other in warmth as their both glad that their still alive.
And they continue the hug until Cassidy and Caleb comes back with fresh, hot cookies and some hot chocolates for all of them to enjoy.
And so once they are all seated on the couch they watch a movie together, {and yeah it’s Trolls World Tour that their watching} which they all laugh at.
And during the movie, Leo looks at Donnie and then at both Cassidy and Caleb.
As he’s glad that he’s both got a twin brother who loved and support and 2 friends who will do anything to make sure that he and Donnie are ok.
And so he hugs Donnie once more, which his twin brother accepts.
Nothing could go between them.
Not even the Purple Dragons and their evil schemes to separate and kill them.
