No...

Everything was going so well... All according to plan.

Where did it all go wrong?

...

Oh, right...

<Chapter fourteen>

"(Y/N)?"

"Surprise Motherfu–" Draxum smacked your head before you could finish your sentence. "Ok, ok! Damn. Muninn, my helmet please."

You turn to face the turtles as Muninn placed your helmet on. They all stared at you with a betrayed expression. You place your hand on your chest.

Why...

Why does my heart ache?

You couldn't speak, nor make a sound. You stood frozen staring into their eyes.

You took a deep breath. "If you join us, it would make things so much easier."

"..." None of them could speak. They couldn't process the fact that you betrayed them. When? How?...

Why?

"So that's a no to joining us then?" Draxum guessed. "Fine, you reject me again for the last time! Now your story ends. Attack!"

All the mutants leap towards the turtle brothers.

"Abraca–pow!"

"Time to pay the man!"

"Don't let go! Don't let go!"

"Turtle bones!"

They all surround them, breaking the turtles out of their trance.

Raph started sweating. "Uhh–"

They showed no mercy. As they groaned and yelled in pain, you stood silently staring as they were thrown out the building, somehow creating a explosion.

"Let's go." Draxum ordered.

You followed behind him. You both watch as some of the turtles crash onto the floor and others fall on baskets and barrels of fish. They were pretty far away.

"That look like it hurt." You comment.

"That's nothing for you though." Draxum stated.

"True."

You felt something coming your way. You lift you arm and grab the object quickly. You gag at the slimy texture.

"What the–" you stare at the fish in your hands. You drop the fish. "...ew."

You look back up to see the turtles fighting against the others with... Fish and ladders?

You observe everything that was happening. The league was having trouble with the turtles.

You stare in shock. Since when could they fight with fish and ladders? No way Splinter taught them this, he's too laid–back.

You watch as Mikey trapped Repo on one of the ladders throwing him towards the sky, Donnie knocking out Hypno, Raph tripping Meat Sweats, Leo fish–sword–fighting the crab men. Warren....being ignored as always.

Both you and Draxum stare in shock as Leo threw one of the crab men, crashing next to you.

"I'm..so confused. How are they winning!?" You questioned.

"What is happening!? How are they so good with fish and ladders?" Draxum grew irritated.

"How would I know!? You're the one who created them!" You stated.

"HOT SOUP!"

"...Hot soup?" Draxum repeated quietly.

You turn to Draxum to see his eyes dilated. What's with him?

"Lou Jitsu? It can't be!"

"Wait– how do you know who he is–"

"LADDERING LIKE A BOSS!" Raph used a ladder to push away the mutants far away, out of sight. You cover your eyes due to the light and the sudden strong gust of wind. You open your eyes again to see the four turtle brothers standing together.

"Now that your minions are done, Let's tango, you sheep lookin'–" Raph

"Woah there– cussing is my thing." You stopped Raph.

"Where did you learn to fight like that!" Draxum immediately asked.

"Oh. Only from the greatest action film star in history!" Raph explained. "LOU JITSU!"

"How could you morons possibly know Lou Jitsu!?"

You stood quietly next to him. There's obviously a story behind this.

"His movies. Are you a fan too?" Mikey asked.

Draxum was taken back. "Gah! No! I knew Lou Jitsu!"

"WAiT– WHat– Dad, your not joking right?" You poke his arm. "HoW!?"

"He was the greatest warrior in the Battle Nexus! His human DNA combined with my ooze, gave you life!" He explained pointing at the turtles.

Raph fell onto his knees, dropping his ladder. "Say what? We have Lou Jitsu's DNA!? And...DAD!? EXCUSE ME– WHAT!?"

"You mean..." Mikey gasped.

"Cowa–boy am I speechless..." Leo dropped his fish.

"Of course...it all makes sense." Donnie let's go of his ladder, staring at his hands. "...cool."

"Yes! This is exactly what I've been trying to tell you!" Draxum stood in front of them. "That you are destined for so much more. You would be as strong as (Y/N)!"

Raph got up groaning. He stood facing both of you with a serious face. Was he gonna join? He turned straight to his brothers with a stupid grin.

"Oh mi GOSH! Lou Jitsu is our dad!"

"Huh?"

Your eyes widen in realization. If Splinter is their father... And they have Lou Jitsu DNA.. Does that mean that Splinter is... "Holy mother forking shirt–balls."

"Oh mi gosh! Leo, you kinda look like Lou Jitsu!" Mikey exclaimed.

"I always knew I felt famous." Leo smirked.

"Guys! Guys! Do I look like Lou Jitsu?" Raph asked.

Both you and Draxum groan in annoyance. They kept on fanboy–ing.

"ENOUGH!" Draxum snapped. "If you four cannot see the true merit of your potential, then I have no longer use for you...(Y/N), ATTACK!"

"Yes, Dad." You nodded.

The turtles face you, ready with their fishes and ladders.

"You think you can beat me with some slimy fish and ladders?" You scoff. "I'm not weak."

You sprint towards them, swinging your leg towards them. You sent them flying far. Raph gets up and swings his ladder at you. You grab a ladder on the floor, dodging his attack. You swing beneath his legs before getting up.

You felt someone behind you. You swing the ladder, pushing Leo out of the way. You duck as Mikey tried to jump you. You grab Donnie's and Mikey's head, bashing them together.

You felt someone lift you up. "What the–"

You were thrown by Raph towards Draxum. He caught you with his vines, lowering you to the ground. You see Draxum handing you a cup with glowing yellow liquid.

"...what is that?" You stare at it suspiciously.

"Don't worry. It'll give you energy." He explained.

"I don't need it." You denied his offer.

You engage battle once again. Draxum glared at you.

Why were you so stubborn?

"This...THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR ALMOST KILLING MY FATHER!" You yelled pulling out your pocket knife.

You grabbed Mikey, holding the knife against his throat.

"Whoa, Whoa! Easy there.." Raph lowered his ladder, raising his arms up in surrender.

"Don't hurt him." Donnie warned

"I...I thought we...we were– friends.." Leo stuttered.

"..." You stayed silent. You couldnt think of what to say except... "I...I thought of you guys as friends...too."

"...Then why?" Mikey cried quietly. "Why do all this?"

You held the knife closer to his throat. "Wouldn't you get revenge for those who tried to kill YOUR family!? Draxum is everything I have! I can't afford to lose someone else! Not again!" Your eyes welled up.

Not again...

"He saved me! He treated me like his own! And then you four appeared." You cried.

You raised the knife ready to slice his throat. You glance at Mikey's teary eyes.

"Your so close (Y/N)! Soon, the'll be out our way!" Draxum cheered.

"Please..." Mikey stared at your eyes. Behind those eyes he could tell...

You didn't want to do this...

You felt weak.

They've treated you so nicely and you're repaying them like this.

"Don't worry, I've got you."

"Next time you're in danger, I'll be there to help you."

"Anything for my family."

"(Y/N)! You're here!"

"Are you alright, princess?"

What kind of friend are you?

You fell onto your knees, dropping the knife as you embraced Mikey.

"I can't! I can't do it. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." You sobbed into Mikey's shoulder. He hugged you back, rubbing your back soothingly. "I can't... I can't..."

His brothers sigh in relief that their brother was still breathing, and glab that you're somewhat on their side.

"...I should've known.." Draxum muttered. "Looks like I've got to finish the job."

You felt something grab your leg. You were pulled aside by Draxum's vines. You saw him holding a container full of the same yellow substance he wanted you to drink.

"Dad?..."

"You are becoming my greatest masterpiece either you like it or not." He smirked

"Oh no you're not!" Leo shouted.

He swung his fish–swords, slicing the vines. You grabbed on to him as he caught you. He set you down. You could tell he was worried.

You felt tears stain your cheeks. "I thought... I thought we made a deal! I thought we agreed you wouldn't turn me into a mutant!"

"...My, you were so naive."

Your eyes widen in realization. How could have not noticed all the signs? Always locking himself in his room, all the training, the ooze, the 'surprise', his hate towards human...

You are human

"So, everything was just a an act? You never...actually loved me?" You whispered.

"No– yes–" He groaned in frustration. "Just take the damn ooze!"

You got up slowly, gating at him. "Over my body."

"Hard way it is then." Draxum lifted himself up with his vines, preparing to attack. "As your father, I order you to come here right now!"

"...my father?" You ask. "I don't know him. Do you...Draxum?"

Draxum flinched as you said his name. He didn't like it... Not at all.

The turtles stood their ground. They knew this wasn't their fight. But they'll stay here, just incase you need help.

"You're gonna regret this." He growled.

You got into your fighting stance. You're not gonna hold back.

"Make me." You taunted.

Draxum chuckled. You all hear a weird noise coming from behind him. Draxum stared at it confused

"What the–" the portal sucked Draxum away along with his vines.

You stare as the portal took Draxum away. Everyone turns to Leo for an explanation.

"I swear to god it wasn't me! I don't even have my swords!" Leo defended himself.

Your back face the turtles as you walk away. Your pretty sure they hate you right now.

"...(Y/N)? Where are you going?" Mikey asked.

"...I don't know yet, but I'll figure something out. Just go home. From now we're better on as strangers. You aren't my friends anymore, you're nothing to me." You stopped walking.

You didn't face them, you couldn't. You don't wanna hurt them more. "Do what you want, but don't follow me. Its time we go our separate ways. You should all go home."

You continue walking away.

"Mikey! Leo!" Raph called out.

You grunt at the sudden weight on your back, and at the feeling of someone clinging to your leg. You turn your head to see Leo clinging to your leg and Mikey on your back, holding you closely.

"(Y/N)! Please! Please don't leave! You can't! I won't let go!" Mikey sobbed.

"Were always gonna be together! No matter what happens! We'll always be your friend, no matter what!" Leo cried.

"I know you didn't mean what you said!  Please don't leave us! Don't leave me!" Mikey begged. "I'll never forgive you if you leave us."

"..." You felt tears fall down your cheeks.  You felt someone embrace you, lifting you up.

"You said we were your friends. How could you. How could you!" Raph cried quietly. "We promised to protect each other! Have you forgotten!?"

"Next time your in danger, I'll be there to protect you."

"Back at 'cha"

"...how could I forget." You chuckle quietly.

You felt someone cling to your other leg. You look below to see Donnie slightly clinging to you. He didn't know what to say, he just didn't want you to leave.

You sigh in defeat. "Alright...put me down."

Raph slowly sets you down. You were still stuck with the other three, but you didn't mind.

"...I know an apology won't make up for the trouble I've caused...but, I'll do everything I can to make it up to you all." You promised. "Now can you all let go, please?"

They just held on tighter.

You eyes soften. They won't be letting go anytime soon.
