Chapter 6

Another enemy?

“What is it, Donnie?”

“Take a look at the news.”

“Awesome! Lauren Saber is on! I love her work!”

“Yes. We know, babe. Let’s here what she has to say.”

“Hehe. Donnie is giving Casey that look again. Classic Donnie.” He’s right, April. Let’s see what all the fuss is about.

“Good evening everyone. This is Lauren Saber here with your evening news. Our top story….real or fiction? A viral video on several UFOs surrounding earth is creating a stir on social media. The video shows several unidentified spaceships surrounding our planet and then vanishing without a trace. Although this video divided a lot of viewers, it didn’t stop them from sending the video to NASA. As of this moment, NASA has not responded.

“YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING! KRANG’S BATTLESHIPS ARE ALREADY HERE?!”

“It looks that way. We are running out of time.”

“Hold on, Donnie. Maybe we aren’t. Notice something different about them?”

“They aren’t…doing anything. It’s like they are waiting for something.”

“Exactly. They could be waiting for entry.”

“Leo, that’s impossible. As much has this planet have advanced in technology over the years, we are NO WHERE NEAR that kind of tech. Plus, wouldn’t we be able to find ships that large hiding here?”

“Maybe they are still here. Or always have been here.”

“I’m kinda with Donnie on this, Leo.”

“Really?!”

“Don’t start, Donnie. She’s my girl.”

“I can hear you, Casey.”

“Sorry, babe.”

“ANNNYWAY, It wouldn’t be that hard to find a ship that large on this planet. Or be able to lock on its signal. Donnie has plenty of tools for that.”

“That’s true. But we can’t leave out that this situation might be different. Guys, I meet a girl from another dimension through scratch and sniff paper. After experiencing that, I’m not going to elude the fact that this could be possible.”

“ELUDE?!”

“Yea. Why are you all surprised? I can be sophisticated.”

“Wow, man. You have been hanging around Donnie too long.”

“HEY! I don’t use that word a lot. Maybe, he got that from Lana.”

“Stop it, Donnie. Don’t be a Raph.”

“I’m not being a Raph.”

“Yes. You are.”

“GUYS! KNOCK IT OFF! Look Leo, you did talk about her a lot on the way back. Maybe you do have her on the brain.”

“Well, how can I not? She remembers me….and fondly I might add. But I don’t remember her at all. I’m surprised that Donnie doesn’t remember her.”

“Remember who?”

“EXACTLY!

“Ok, seriously. Who are you talking about?”

“He’s talking about a girl named, Lana. Somehow, she knows him but he doesn’t know her. Do you remember her, Donnie?”

“No. I don’t. The name doesn’t ring a bell.”

“Well, it could be that temporary memory charm she put on us. But I would have remembered something by now.”

“A temporary what?”

“She casted it on all of us to forget what she did to Raph.”

“Wait…WHAT?!

“According to her, she accidentally injured Raph while sparing with him. Her powers got out of control and she nearly killed him. She secretly put a memory charm on us and left out of guilt.”

“Okay, I’ve heard enough. She could be more of an enemy than the Krangs.”

“Hold on, April. We don’t know that.”

“She’s right, Leo. She put a memory spell on us and she hurt Raph. Who knows what she’s covering up! I don’t think we should trust her.”

“The spell was temporary and she said it was an accident. Besides, she’s coming with her sister tomorrow and we need all the help we can get.”

“Tomorrow? You believe that?”

“Yes, I do. We need the help.”

“And are you willing to put me and Mikey in danger in order to get it?! “COME TO YOUR SENSES!”

“I KNOW WHAT, I’M DOING, DONNIE!”

“Just like you knew what you were doing when you were stalking Kurai?”

……….

“That’s too far, Donnie.”

“Leo, I’m….”

“We’re done, here. She’s coming tomorrow and that’s all there is to it. I need some air.”

“Wow, Donnie. That was cold. You know how he feels about Kurai. You went too far.”

“I know, it was. But needed to be said. If this “girl” hurt my brother, who know what she would do me, Mikey, or you guys. I’m not sure if Leo knows that might have invited another enemy to our doorstep. Anyway, I better head back to my lab.”

“Donn…”

“Let him go, babe. He needs a minute.”

“Yea. Sure.” “Let’s go.”

“Babe, can I ask you something?”

*Sigh* “If this is about Donnie, I….?”

“No, babe. Do you feel like we’re being watched?”

Chapter 5

Leo’s Return Home

  Whew!!

Home sweet sewer. I wonder how long I’ve been gone. Maybe for days….Or months….even years! Man, can you imagine that?! Splinter getting grayer by the year. Mikey, Raph, and Donnie all grown up. Probably moved out and live on the other side of the sewer. April and Casey date and become successful in their future lives. HAHAHA! Donnie will LOVE that!!  He was probably crying his eyes out when that happened. And Kurai....yea. Kurai. Maybe she and Sensei finally became a family again. I hope she got the help she needed. Ok, just thinking about that makes me feel out of place. I wonder where they went. It’s going to feel REALLY weird seeing their future selves.

Leo!

Hey, April! Hey, Casey!! Wow! You both still look so young! I bet they have some awesome beauty remedies in the future!

(both look at each other)……WHAT?!

No offense!! I was just trying to give a compliment. What year is this 2030, 3050, the year 5000?

(They look at each other again in confusion)

Leo, it’s 2014. You’ve only been gone for a few hours.

Dude, no offense to you. But I think you’ve lost it.

What? 2014?! A few hours?! No way! I thought I would be gone longer than that!!

Leo, you aren’t making any sense. Donnie told us that you went back out to look for Kurai. Why would time change if you never left the planet?

But I did! I just got back from Dimension X!

What? How?

From a picture of a Lotus Rose in my room.

A Lotus wha?...OH!! That scratch and sniff flower?! Sweet!

Scratch and sniff? C’mon Casey!

I mean it, April! When I scratched it, smelled like a flower! Smelled good too.

Guys! Focus!

Sorry.

I met a girl named Lana and she says that she knew all of us since we were kids. She might know about the mutagen’s original origin and she is coming with her sister to help us!!

That great, Leo!!

Yea! Wow, dude!

I know, right?! We are finally getting some help for this!

Yea! And you finally met a chick that’s not trying to kill ya! I say she’s a keeper.

Casey!! When are they coming?

She told me tomorrow.

We gotta tell the guys this!

Especially, Donnie. He finally has another nerd chick to talk smart stuff too. Haha!!

Casey!!...That’s?!...

What?

That’s…kinda true.

See? I’m not all mean, babe. And speak of the devil….

Hey, guys!!

What’s up, Donnie?

You got to come and see this!!

Chapter 4

The Enemy waits..

Sigh. I better get home myself. Oh Leonardo. It has really been a while. So glad that you aren't upset, but too bad you can’t remember me. What went wrong? I don’t think I left anything out. He should have remembered me by now. Will he ever remember? If that Lotus Rose didn't survive, he couldn't have been able to travel here. Nor would his link with me still be intact. It’s just going to take time. But I miss our talks.  I wish I can tell you all the things that happened here while time has passed. That I’m a princess and a diplomat, finally a doctor in natural remedies, have my own practice, but still live in secrecy.   I should have told him about recent events….about my dreams…and about his brother. But that’s for next time we meet. I need to get to the bottom of this “mutagen” problem. This cannot be the same material as the bio waste from Dehari’s power cell. It’s been tested and retested. Each result was recorded negative for harmful toxins. Something must have happened and she is the key.

“Shan Lana!! Shan Lana!!”

“Yes?! Who is calling?”

“It’s Onon. Come quickly!! Something is on the mountain!!!”

“What the matt…?”

Who are they? They are just standing there on the mountain like they are watching…or waiting. Wait. This whole village is surrounded by Lotus Light. The light of the Lotus Rose must be what’s keeping them at bay. That can only mean one thing. Oh no. This can’t be happening. They can’t be real. They are just a myth. A legend. They can’t be real!!

“Everyone inside!! Light your homes with Lotus light! They can’t harm you when you’re in the light!! Everyone hurry!!

“Shan Lana! What is it?!

“Creatures of nightmares.”

“What is it?”

“Nexian Generals.”

“That’s impossible!! They can’t be real!”

“It can’t be a lie if we both see them with our own eyes!”

 “What should we do? They will kill us all!”

“Onon, we need get to the Shaman, ask him for warriors and get as much Lotus pollen as we can hold.  We have to spread as much Lotus pollen as you can and make the forest floor shine! And we must hurry! I need to warn my people.”

“You approach the King?! You’re just a doctor and he will never believe you.  He could kill you for troubling him.”

“Let me worry about that. Now let’s get moving!”

TMNT: Shadows of the Nexus

Chapter Three

Lost in Paradise

Man..my body feels so heavy. Like I’m tied to a huge rock. I don’t think I’m on earth anymore or in New York for that matter. I gotta get up, but it’s so hard to move. I’m gonna need some help, but how? Someone’s coming and I can’t move to defend myself. Great.

“Well, look whose here? It took you long enough to come and see me. Haha! You look like you REALLY need some help. Hold still and let me….oh sorry. Haha…I couldn’t resist. Hang on and I’ll help you.”

What is she doing? How is holding my hand helping me with…wait. I can move!! Incredible!! “How did you do that?”

“It seems like we are still linked and I’m shocked.

“Linked? What is that?”

“It’s like a bond. A very strong one. My tribe believes that our minds and bodies are shared once one is made. They also believe that once you link with someone, it can’t be broken. But I have my doubts. After all this time, I thought you have forgotten me. It’s nice to know that you didn’t.”

“Forgotten her? Wait..NO WAY! THIS IS LANA?!”

“Lana?!”

“Don’t look so shocked, Leo! I haven’t changed THAT much. Just got a little taller and my hair a little…longer.”

A little longer?! It’s practically dragging the floor. And it’s incredible that she’s the same height as me and I will admit that she’s pretty attractive. I wish could remember more about her.

“As much as I admire you staring at me, I can assume that you don’t know me that well.”

Can she hear me? I hope she didn’t.

“Leo, I don’t have to read your mind in order to know what you are thinking in this case. You look says it all.”

“Oh goo…HEY!!”

“Haha!! Sorry, sorry. I couldn’t resist teasing a bit. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. Do you remember anything about me?”

“All I remember is touching a drawing of a flower. I had flashes of about us sparing, laughing, and that thing you said….”Don’t forget me because I won’t forget you. Then, I closed my eyes and ended up here."

“So you are remembering!...a little. I didn’t think that you wanted to remember anything after what I did.

“I didn’t know you made tha…wait. What did you do and why can’t I remember you?”

“I placed a temporary memory charm on the drawing and asked Master Splinter to give it you. I felt that our friendship was ruined and I didn’t want you to live with what I did to Raph."

“What DID you do to him?!”

“I nearly killed him when we were sparring.”

“WHAT?!”

“It was an accident, Leo! I didn’t know how to control my powers that well. When he punched me after the match, I panicked. My powers reacted and it hit Raph. I did everything I could think of to revive him. And when I did, the looks on all your faces said enough. I gave Sensei the drawing of a Lotus Rose and told him to give it to you. As a way of saying good-bye.”

“Look, Raph gets like that sometimes and we all deal with it. Especially me. Plus, you saved his life. He’s alive, still cranky, and stubborn as ever. You didn’t have to do that.”

“I felt like you all were better off without me there.”

“Well, since I'm remembering some things, that should show that I forgive you, right? “

“Right.”

She has a nice smile. Ok, Leo. Stay focused.

“I still have a ton of questions to ask you, but let’s stick to the basics. How you know English so well and where we are?”

“First…Let me give you a full introduction. I am Lilani Yulclan from the Aerisinian tribe of Enlightenment. Second, we are on the Planet Aeris, located in the Hairisar Galaxy in Dimension X. Third, some Aerisinian tribes have the ability to learn things more quickly than others.”

“Dimension X?!”

“Yes..We aren’t in your home dimension anymore. This dimension is considered uncharted and there are laws in your dimension that would be broken here.”

“Like what?”

“Like breathing in space and gravity. Not here, of course. But in space, gravity still applies in some galaxies.”

Am I really in Dimension X? So many things I can learn about this place. Maybe I can find out where the mutagen came from and put a stop to the Krang invasion once and for all! There's probably a lot that Lana can tell me.

"Have you heard about the Krangs?"

"Are you kidding?!" Oh boy..I hope I didn’t ask the wrong question.

“They are the idiot savants of this galaxy! Haha!!”

Idiot Savant?! Oh Yea…she met Donnie.

“What do you mean? They are trying to invade MY galaxy as we speak!”

“Trust me. There’s nothing to worry about. My people as well as countless others have conquered the Krangs. One big blast to their mothership and they turn tale and run. Haha! They can’t even grasp the concept of enslavement! They created a stupid mind swap ray and the effects of it only lasted one week! After everyone woke up, their ships were all shot down and the rest were imprisoned in jars!! Hahaha!” “Please, Lana! This is serious! The have tons of technology and mutagen at their disposal and we only have little time to stop them!! I really need your help!!”

“Mutagen? What’s that? What’s it look like?”

“It’s bright green slime that turns people and animals into mutants. But it also gives them special abilities. It’s the same stuff that turn me, Sensei, and my brothers into who we are now. ”

“Really?! And Sensei too?!”

“Yea.”

“Wow..and this stuff is bright green?! Uh oh…that sounds…too familiar.”

“So, you’ve heard of it?”

“Maybe. Look, the Krangs REALLY aren't that bright. But, the only way they can have access to that “mutagen” stuff, is if that had a lot of help. As for this “mutagen”, The only one that might know more about this is my twin sister Dehari. She’s what you call “a scientist” and she might know a bit more about this. I’ll bring her along to your world tomorrow and explain any questions you have about this subject. And others, if you have them.

“Why can’t my brothers come here?”

“Without being linked to an Aerisinian, this atmosphere would be difficult for them to get around, breathe, or even transported here.”

“Oh. Good point.”

“I know. And now, I gotta get you home.” “Wait, how can you get to me and how am I supposed to get back?”

“My strongest element is water. Now that we are still linked, my element is now yours, as well as my abilities. You can find me and I can find you. Now, look over there. Jump in that lake and think of where you want to go. My element will transport you to your desired destination." “Ok. Sounds simple. All I have to do is jump into that…”

“But wait. Before you do..”

Ok…what is she doing now?! Why is she getting so close to me? Is she going to do what I think she is…Wow!!..ok!!.slow down!!..that’s!!.. a nice kiss on the cheek. Man, my heart is racing!! Ok, Leonardo calm down now.

“Bye for now, Leonardo. Safe travels home.”

"And don't forget me this time!"

“That won’t be a problem.”

Especially when someone that looks like that….OK!! Need to get a grip. Man, this whole thing is making me confused, yet happy at the same time. We might have a real fighting chance of defeating the Krangs before the invasion! I hope Dehari can give us the answers that we need. Ok, lake! Take me home!

Chapter Two

Raph’s Resentment

I’m too much in pain to sleep. My eye still hurts…A LOT. And I blame Leo. That She-Snake would have never shot me in the eye, if he wasn’t so stuck on her. Leo has been spacing out since Kurai left. I’m not sure if he’s up to being leader anymore. He cares more about Kurai than he does his own brothers. She spit VENOM in my EYE!! And HE didn’t care less!! What kind of leader is he?! Speaking of “fearless” leader, where is he?  I haven’t seen him since we got back. And I CAN’T see him, because it’s hard to SEE..out of ONE EYE!!! It still burns a bit. Maybe Donnie has something that could help me.

“Donnie, ya got something that could help my eye?”

“What about those saline drops I gave you?”

“I used it all.”

“Okay..well..I don’t know where some more is. But until I find it, keep flushing your eye out with water.”

“It hurts!! Don’t you have anything else?!”

“Look..I don’t. And you need to be patient. If you WANT to lose your eye sight in one eye, keep complaining. If you DON’T, keep washing your eye out.”

“Fine, whatever.”

Before I turned around, I saw something glowing out of the corner of my eye. It was glowing blue and it was coming from Donnie’s Lab.

“What’s that?”

“What’s what?”

“That blue glow coming from your lab.”

“Oh that?! That’s the latest batch of anti-mutagen. I’m making a sample for Kurai.

“Your making serum for that…that…she-demon?! She spit venom in my eye and you’re trying to help her?! “

“Yeah. She’s Sensei’s daughter. And it would mean a lot to him to get her back.”

“You’re just as bad as Leo.”

“What are you complaining about now, Raph?”

“Leo hasn’t been right since he met Kurai and he’s gotten worse since she left. Can we really trust him to be our leader?”

“Raph, it’s only been a few hours. And you’re just mad because she spit in your eye.”

“Whatever. Where’s “fearless” leader, anyway?”

“Mikey told me that he was on a 10 hour lookout for Kurai and went to bed. Now, if you don’t mind, I still have some work to do. Please see yourself out.”

“Sheesh, Doctor Donnie!! I’m gone!!”

Whatever. I don’t care what Donnie says. I still think Leo’s head is out of the game and I don’t trust him. Someone should keep an eye on him.

TMNT: Shadows of the Nexus

Chapter One

Don’t forget me, Leo

I was unable to rest after what happened to Kurai. I still blamed myself for her unfortunate transformation and was determined to find her. I scoured the city looking for her, but my trail ran cold. After searching for 10 hours, I decided to give up and go back to the lair.  Master Splinter was waiting for me at the entrance with a concerned look on his face.

“Welcome back, my son.”

“Thank You, Sensei.”

 “But I’m going to sleep now, I’m exhausted.”

 “You should be.” “You were on watch for 10 hours. I know that you feel responsible for what happened to Kurai, but she can take care of herself. You need to get some rest.”

 “How can you say that, Sensei?”

“She was your daughter and I could have saved her. But I know I get her back. If I could just….”

“She’s no longer the Kurai we knew.”

 “But Master…"

 "She IS STILL my daughter and I am STILL your master.”

“You defied me once.”

 “Don’t do it again.”

“Yes, Master.”

 On the way to my room, I heard snickering around the corner. Of course, it’s Mikey. He probably heard everything Master Splinter said. Great.

“I’m not in the mood, Mikey.”

“What? I didn’t saying anything.”

 “Then why are you laughing?”

 “Hahaha!! You should have seen the look on your face when Sensei yelled at you!!! Hahahaha!!”

 “Geez Mikey.”

 “Just go away!”

 “Chill out, dude!! I’m just funnin’ ya!”

 “Maybe this will cheer you up.”

 He showed me a picture of a flower with some funny symbols on the bottom.

“You drew me a flower?”

 “Not mine. Found it. See ya!”

 Man, that kid gives a headache sometimes. But I will admit, I do feel a little better. Something about this picture feels so..familiar.

“What is at the bottom?”

After I touched it, I started having flashes of a young girl..that looks like me. She looks so happy. And then she said…

”Don’t forget me because I will never forget you, Lana.”

 Lana? Who’s Lana?

“This is too much.” “I must be tired.”

Just as I shut my eyes, the visions got stronger. Flashes of Lana, us sparing, and how happy we were. Suddenly, I was in a light tunnel that was getting faster and faster. When I reached the end, I opened my eyes to find that I was…somewhere else. Strange creatures and plants everywhere.

 “Where am I?”

Mini Q&A #29 (by TheNaturegirl30)

[gigik32-blog]

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Love?

How do you know when you are in love? Is it a tingling feeling in your stomach when you think of that person? When they walk by?  When you think about them every waking day?  When not talking to them for a day,seems like years?  And if this is true, do you continue to love them when they don't love you back?  People say it's just an emotion. A feeling that soon fades. But does it possess more? Does it give us the ability to see each other for who we REALLY are?  Or what we want them to be? Is that what makes it so scary?  Scientists, doctors, and even philosophers don't understand what this emotion is. Or if it's just and emotion. Coming from experience, love is extremely powerful. It brings out the best and the worst in us. Love can also show us that we are capable of things that we would never imagine. But what makes it TRULY powerful?  It represents who we REALLY are.
