Chibi A/N:... Are you ok?

A/N: Oh I'm fine. I'm just giving a hint to the readers.

Chibi A/N: To what?

A/N: You'll see, But enough of that, Let the story began... *Chuckles Creepily*

Chibi A/N: *Has a look of Genuine concern*

(Alright so this probably will ruin the tension a bit But I'm changing Jack Might's appearance a bit. One because someone made an awesome screenshot of him on Final Fantasy 14, Two I feel like you guys deserve to have a better idea of what he looks like, And Three to see how many of you know this guy as well as how many fellow fan's of this game are reading my books! Here he is...)

(So this will be Jack Might's appearance from now on, Thank you to whoever made this awesome screenshot unprompted XD. But with that out of the way let's get back to the story!)

Jack(M) was roaming around aimlessly trying to find a bar that wasn't on fire or completely destroyed and as he walked through an alleyway a helicopter crashes in the distance into a burning building " Damn Husks... They really are a blight... " He thought as he continued to walk down the alleyway, however, something caught his attention...

*bang! bang! bang!*

Without realizing it Jack(M) swiftly looked towards the sound of distant gunshots and he sees a man panicking as his gun had run out of bullets while being surrounded by Husks and despite his swift reaction he was unable to do anything as an image suddenly flash before his eyes of a knight get ripped apart by victims of the same plague the city of New York was currently experiencing.

Jack(M): Damn it! Why is this happing!?

He asked with anger lining his voice despite knowing no one will give him the answer he seeks and as he heard the man's pricing screams of agony his eyes began to dilate as another Imaged flashed before his eyes... One of a little boy covered in blood with glassy eyes and a large gash in his chest.

Jack(M): WHY!?!?!? WHY MUST THESE BLASTED VISIONS HAUNT ME NOW!?!?!?

He shouts in pure rage getting the attention of almost every Husk around the block as Jack(M) started to seethe in raw hatred that he had buried deep within himself through years of Booze and Regret and as one of the Husks charges towards him Jack(M) swiftly snatched the fiend by its face and proceeded to crush into pieces as he looked at the rest of the Hoard baring his teeth as a look of Primal Fury formed on his face.

Jack(M): Omnes stipendium sufficere debere petris muralibus aeterno tu!!!

(Fair warning I used google translate on that... Don't know if it's going to sound right, but fuck it! I'm gonna send it anyways.)

One of the Husks tilted its head as if it were confused, however, the Husks were almost entirely obliterated as Jack(M) started to literally tear them apart with his bare hands all the while growling like a mad beast and whether or not it was preordained or just a coincidence his path of destruction started to lead him towards a burning warehouse... And as ever, the shadowy figure watched from the rooftops.

Insanity: Huh... It seemed he grew rather attached to that little kingdom he made in this go around. Strange considering he has built thousands in the past and their collapse barely fazed him...

He paused for a moment and watched as his minions were being crushed like bugs before continuing.

Insanity: After all, he did make those kingdoms with an ocean's worth of blood and a mountain of bodies...

He chuckled as Jack(M) smashed a group of Husks with a car... Before looking towards You the reader.

Insanity: Oh but you didn't come here for this. You came here for a story about a version of yourself getting frisky with Mutant Turtles, their Rat Master, and whatever else the author is willing to throw into this mixing pot of a story... Am I right?

He chuckles once more as a wide grin formed on his face all while Jack(M) Is still fighting in the distance.

Insanity: Don't worry. You'll get what you want... And so much more!

The dark entity starts to chuckle which soon turns into sinister laugher.

Insanity: But enough about me! The show must continue! And I can't wait to watch what happens next!

After he said that he looks towards the burning warehouse in the distance and his grin grew wider.

Insanity: The main event is about to start after all!

He starts chuckling once more before slowly disappearing while seemingly staring at nothing in particular... But you know what he was looking at, Don't you?

Meanwhile...

Chibi A/N: Uh... Did he just-

A/N: Yep... He did... And I'm mildly pissed about it.

Chibi A/N: Is it because he broke the fourth wall?

A/N: That and something else.

Chibi A/N: It's the fact he gave away the next story beat isn't it?

A/N: Do I need to get the water bottle again!?

Chibi A/N: Fine! I just shut my mouth!

A/N: Good. Now back to the story.

Mitchell was carrying a very terrified June down a burning corridor and dodging some failing debris " Shit! Who the hell is attacking us!? I thought we were secure in this warehouse! " He thought as he rounded the corner and found that the back door has been covered in burning rubble.

Mitchell: Damn!

He looks around and sees a manhole within a nearby boiler room and as he ran towards it June started to sob which Mitchell noticed immediately.

Mitchell: Hey! It's going to be alright! We're going to get out of here alive!

He states trying to reassure the terrified little girl, but she still continued to sob as Mitchell put her down to open the manhole which he struggled with as manholes are exactly light.

Mitchell: Holy crap I need to exercise more!

He states as he managed to lift it enough to slide it open and he turned towards June who was still crying.

Mitchell: Hey look! We need to get out of here. I'll find your mom after we make sure your safe.

Just after he said that Mitchell heard gunshots heading his way " Fuck! Roy must be trying to draw someone's attention! " He thought and with haste, he picked up the girl once more and hoisted her over shoulder before swiftly climbing down the manhole into the sewers while being careful not to accidentally hurt June.

June: *Sniffle* Bad people... *Sniffle* Bad people want to kill us...

She said with a distraught tone as Mitchell finished climbing down.

Mitchell: Don't worry! I won't let them lay a hand on you.

He states as he carried her in this arms, but as he was running down the walkway June said something that caught his attention.

June: No... *Sniff* Bad people are coming... *Sniff* They're gonna pick up where the Monsters left off...

" What is she talking about? " Mitchell mentally questioned as he turned the corner and as he did he heard someone rushing down the latter causing him to stop dead in his tracks " Please be Roy. For the love of God, Please be Roy! " His mental prayers were answered as Roy practically darts around the corner, however, judging by the somewhat terrified look on his face he wasn't running for the hell of it.

Roy: RUN MITCH RUN!!!

As soon as he said this Mitchell heard what sounded like something massive smash through the floor beyond the corner making Mitchell waste no time in booking it as fast as he could as he didn't want to find out what could have made that noise.

Mitchell: What the fuck is chasing use, Roy!?

He asked clearly panicked as he has never seen Roy this terrified before.

Roy: Listen! I don't have time to explain the details! Just know that the thing that's chasing us isn't going to be put down by stranded firearms!

As he said this another loud crash could be heard just behind them and Mitchell glanced over to see the massive being chasing them was staring right at them.

Ogre:...

" Oh fuck that! What bullshit Mr. X shit is this!? " Mitchell thought as he looked forwards and turned another corner all the while, Roy was trying to keep an eye on this thing while running for his life... And when he turned to look at the massive beast chasing them he was meet we a flying stop sign...

*CRUNCH!*

*SLAM!*

Roy: AHHHHHHHH!!!

Roy was pinned to the wall by the gut with the tail end of the stop sign which barely grazed his spine and he felt blood run down his lower body.

Mitchell: ROOOOOOY!!!

Mitchell was horrified by the sight of one of his best friends suddenly impaled through the stomach as was June was just stared with eyes filled with terror.

Roy: Just... Go, Mitch... *Cough* *Hack*...get the kid out...of here...

He stated while trying his best to breathe despite having his lungs starting to fill up with his own blood.

Mitchell: NO I CAN'T JUST-

Roy managed to muster enough energy to cut him off.

Roy: Just...! Go...!

As he said that he ripped off his dog tags and threw them at Mitchell which landed in the girl's lap and with tears welling in his eyes Mitchell leaves as heavy footsteps walked toward Roy who had drawn out one of his pistols.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Click.*

*Click.*

Roy looked at his gun with a grin on his face as Ogre stood over him.

Roy:...sorry...big guy...that's all...I got...

He states in a somewhat taunting manner, but strangely enough, Ogre just stands there watching him very closely and Roy's smile grew wider as he took this opportunity to pull out three grenades which had their pins removed in the process.

Roy: I lied...

As the hand grenades began to fall time slowed to a crawl for Roy as his life began to flash right before his eyes and as visions of his daughter wash over his eyes he sheds a tear as a somber look formed on his face " I'm sorry my sweet little angel... "...

Ok, last video must have been deleted. So heres another explosion sound effect I don't own.

Mitchell stopped for a brief moment " I'll buy you a beer on the other side man... " He thought with a somber expression on his face before continuing to run... But the massive explosion Mitchell hears something he really didn't want to hear.

*Stomp!*

*Stomp!*

*Stomp!*

Mitchell: Fuck! What does it take to put a dent in that thing!?

He shouted while swiftly checking behind him to see that Ogre wasn't even fazed by the explosion as the smoke just rolled off him like nothing ever happened.

Ogre:...

Mitchell ran faster than he thought was possible for a human being and this thing was still catching up to him with a brisk walk... But it sometimes stops just to look at the soldier and the little girl " What the hell is that thing doing!? Is it toying with us!? " Mitchell mentally shouted inraged by the face this thing was playing with them like it was some kind of game.

June: I-it wants you alone...

She states in a scared tone as Mitchell turns another corner knowing full well about what it wanted, but also knowing the consequences of doing what it wants.

Mitchell: I'm not leaving you alone in the sewers!

She states as he continues to try and shake the persistent monster, but he soon realizes why it's doing this as he nearly ran into a small horde of infected people who seemingly just stood there and watched his movements " Where the fuck did they come from!? " He thought as he noticed rubble at their feet and he looked up at a terrible tight the made his heart sink... There were horrible monsters that barely looked human staring straight at him... And unlike the infected person, they encountered they all just stared at him in an odd trance-like state.

Mitchell: H-how?... W-why?...

He had a defeated expression on his face as there were far too many for him to escape from let alone fight and June began to rock in his arms causing Mitchell to look down and see that she had a look of horror on her face while clutching Roys dog tags.

June: They don't want me... Only you... They wanted to take you away forever...

It suddenly clicked for Mitchell " They just want my team dead... They don't care about June... " He had to take a moment to let it sink in... He wasn't getting out of this alive.

Mitchell: Hey June, can you do something for me?

He asked in a calm tone as he knew getting sad or angry now wasn't going to fix his situation and without saying anything June looked up at him with the same terrified look.

Mitchell: Whatever happens... Can you get someone to tell my and Roy's family about what happened here?

He asked and June nodded causing Mitchell to breathe a sigh of relief " That's one wight of my shoulders. " As he thought this he pulled off his dog tags and gave them to June who looks at him with a saddened look which was mix with fear.

June: Don't go... Please don't go... *Sniff*

Mitchell looked at her with a reassuring smile even though the situation was pretty grim.

Mitchell: I'm sorry kid I've got to face it. But don't worry about me. You got a life to live...

He pauses a moment to put June down which she wanted to protest... But she couldn't find it in here to refuse seeing she knew what he was about to do next.

Mitchell: So, please live your life to the fullest kid.

He turned and drew out his pistol, but before he did he said a few parting words.

Mitchell: Remember us. NOW GO!!!

With a heavy heart, June started to run past the small horde as Mitchell rounded the corner and started to shoot the seemingly unkillable beast that was tailing them which was about as effective as shooting a water gun at a tank, but it was a good enough distraction as the Monsters that were blocking their path weren't even fazed when June ran past them " Well at least they're polite enough not to kill a kid. " He thought not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth and as he was loading another mag into his handgun the Goliath shove its hand through his stomach.

Mitchell: *GASP!* *COUGH!*

He tried to scream but he couldn't as his lungs were badly damaged and as his vision began to darken he had a thought that out a smirk on his face " Well... It looks like I'm buying you some beers sooner than I thought... See you... Soon... Roy... " As he thought this his eyes quickly dimmed until they were devoid of life as was his body.

Ogre:...

The beast glanced at Mitchell's lifeless body before tossing it to the side and turning around to walk back towards the warehouse as the Husks began to roam around while being completely confused as to how they got here.

With June...

June was crying as she ran through the sewers.

June: *Sniff* Mommy! *Sniff* Daddy! *Sniff* I need help!

She shouted hoping that her parents could comfort her, however, when nothing happened she slumped down and started to cry into her knees.

June: Please... *Sniff* Anyone...

As she continued to cry a shadow suddenly loamed over her and she saw... A giant turtle standing on two legs.

Racheal: How in the heck did you get down here kid?

She asked being slightly concerned that a child was roaming around down here alone as she knew full well what can happen if this little girl was to run into someone with... Less than savory intentions.

June: *Whimper* W-who are you!?

She asked slightly scared of Racheal as everything else she has seen that isn't human has been either trying to kill her or harm her in some way and Racheal sighed before kneeling down.

Racheal: My name is Racheal. What's your name kid?

She asked this in a calm and collected tone as she knew getting huffy at a kid seemed pointless... Well until she said this.

June: Why should I tell you!? You look like you got run over by the ugly train!

Racheal's eye twitched a little as the little child's insult annoyed her immensely, but she took a deep breath and tried to calm down... And failing miserably.

Racheal: Look, kid calling people names is very rude! So can you please tell me your name!?

She growled which made June glare at her with a look of defiance.

June: No. My mommy and daddy told me not to trust strangers!

After saying that she crossed her arms and turned her back on Racheal before sticking her tongue out at her which made Racheal more than a little pissed.

Racheal: I WOULDN'T WANT TO KEEP THAT DIRTY THING IN MY MOUTH EITHER YOU DAMN STREET URCHIN!!!

She shouted as her eye continually twitch, however, she noticed the dog tags in the little girl's arms which intrigued enough to calm her down a little.

Racheal: Hey. Why do you have-

*Cough! Cough!*

Racheal swiftly swiveled her head towards the origin of the sound to see a robed figure leaning on the wall behind her... And he chuckles as blood dips down from his large gash across his stomach.

???: Sorry... Was Interrupting something?

he said with a bit of a Scottish accent before slumping down and clutching his wound to try to lessen the bleeding and Racheal narrowed her eyes " How did I not hear him? " She thought as normally people with wounds like his tend to make a lot of sounds even if they were trying to be stealthy and as she turned around to face the man June hide behind her leg.

Racheal: Just who are you and how did you get those injuries?

She asked somewhat hostilely as she can't tell if he was a Foot ninja or one of Shredder's underlings and the man scoffs.

???: I don't feel like sharing my name, Lass. Nor do I feel like sharing details to a rude arse that treats a wounded man with hostility.

The injured man states in a tired and annoyed tone which caused Racheal's left eye to twitch again as a look of annoyance formed on her face.

Racheal: The last time my family let someone injured into our home she tried to kill us after we let our guard down.

She states in an overly blunt tone and the robed man took a moment to catch his breath before he spoke.

???: So your family must have a very poor judge of character... because I have an idea who you're talkin about.

Racheal looked at him with warry eyes as she's starting to suspect he might be related to the Foot Clan.

Racheal: And just how do you know of Alex?...

She asked in a somewhat cautious tone as her hands began to hover around her weapons just in case her suspicions are correct, but what she said next upended that entirely.

???: Hard to forget almost being assassinated by a fourteen-year-old girl and a human-sized fox standing on two legs. Even if it was a few years ago. So suffice it to say I'm not in good terms with the dumb arses in purple pajamas.

He states in a somewhat casual tone and Racheal's hands stopped hovering over her Sai's as she began to unwind herself a little.

Racheal: Then who are you? I only know of a couple of people outside my family who oppose the Foot clan.

The robed man coughed up a bit of blood before saying something that caught her off guard.

???: Why don't ya ask Splinter. She knows who I am and Judging by that face you probably weren't even told about what she tried to do to me.

Racheal's expression turned into an enraged one as this guy seems to know a lot about her and her family which she does not like one bit.

Racheal: Just who in the hell are you!? How do you know Master Splinter!? For god's sake answer me!

As she said this June started to look extremely scared and the robed man glanced at her before looking back at Racheal.

???: Your scarin the kid, Lass.

He stated in a clear tone, however, this only served to anger her even more.

Racheal: DON'T YOU DARE CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?!?

A tense moment of silence passes before a sound cut through the silence like a somber dagger.

June: *Sniff* Please... Stop... *Sniff*

Racheal's expression swiftly changes to a shocked and concerned one as she looked at the young girl and saw that she was one the verg of tears all the while clutching the two dog tags in her hands tightly to her chest as all of Racheal's anger and rage turned into deep regret.

Racheal: I-I...

Before she could even stutter out another word the three heard what sounded like low growls in the distance and judging by June's terrified reaction to the sound it's not something either of grown up's wants to deal with right now.

???: Look Lass, we can have a pissing contest when we're not in danger. Until then, could you help me up so we can get out of here faster?

He asked while he holds out his hand while still clutching his wound with the other and Racheal took a moment to think before letting out a sigh and helping the robes figure up and as she was doing that June just stared at the dog tags in her hands with a somber look which the robed man swiftly noticed.

???: You get the kid, Lass. I'll follow you two.

Racheal looked at him with a raised brow as he did ask for help getting on his feet a second ago.

Racheal: Wait got your second wind or something?

She asked sarcastically and June began to feel a bit light-headed.

June: I don't feel so...

She suddenly fainted and started to fall, however, just as she was about to hit the ground Racheal quickly caught the little girl and she looked at the robed man.

Racheal: I'm not going to ask how you knew this would happen... But I want answers later and you better give them. Understood?

She said in a bit of a threatening tone and the robed man scoffs as he wasn't really impressed with her attempt at threatening him.

???: Lass I had way worse than what ye can do, But if it makes you feel better then fine you'll have your answers. Now can we get the hell out of here?

After he said this Racheal scoffed and rolled her eyes " That's probably the only reassurance I'm going to get out of him. " She thought as she begrudgingly began to lead the somewhat rude injured man back towards her home.

Meanwhile...

Chibi A/N: Well shit... I guess Insanity was right. That was a definitely "show".

A/N: Still infuriated about his goddamn fourth wall breaking.

Chibi A/N: Yeah... I have a feeling that wasn't a one-off thing either.

A/N: *Starts to breathe heavily as his eye begins to twitch.*

Chibi A/N: U-uh... C-can we get back to the story?

A/N: Ok! *Eye twitch*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

Louis: What in god's name is he made out of!?

He shouts as he unloads an empty mag out of his gun and load's a fully loaded one while dodging a fireball that was thrown at him.

Sarah: We can't kill him with just small arms fire alone! We need to find his weak point!

As she states this Havik just laughs maniacally as he throws another fireball at them.

Havik: You'll be dead by then! Either by me or the building burning down all around you!

Sarah dodged another fireball as Louis tries his best to think of a solution but he's currently drawing blanks " Damnit! Think Louis Think! " As he was mentally yelling at himself they hear an odd sound... It sounded like...

*CRASH!*

A car suddenly smashed through the wall and smashed into Havik hard enough to force him down to the ground while the car continued to tumble through the building.

Havik: What the hell?

As he said that man in a red tank top entered the building through the hole he just made with a look of pure fury.

Jack(M): Parochia nefas!

Havik looked up at the inraged man with utter confusion within every inch of his face.

Havik: What!?

Jack(M) suddenly grabbed him by the leg and slung him over his head before swiftly and brutally smashing him back down into the ground all the while being seemingly unfazed about Havik being on fire.

Louis: The fuck just happened?

As he said the Sarah immediately grabbed him and swiftly dragged him through the hole Jack(M) made.

Sarah: No fucking idea! But it just gave us time to get the hell out of here!

She states as she continued to drag her brother out of the burning building.

Havik: Just who the fuck are-

*CRUCK!*

Havik: AHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT THE FUCK!?!?

Jack(M) had just broken Havik's leg with his bare hands like a twig before throwing across the burning building like a ragdoll into what looks like some destroyed computer equipment.

*Crash!*

Jack(M): Uestre misereatur!

After the enraged man stated this a massive burning supercomputer was suddenly hurled at him which connected but didn't do anything to him as hit merrily broke into pieces as it impacted his body not fazing him in the slightest.

Havik: I can't fucking understand what your saying! Speak English mother fucker!

The burning monster shouted as he was about to throw a fireball at the very anger dude that was currently in front of him... Which caught Havik of guard as he could have sworn that Jack(M) was across the room a few seconds ago.

Havik: How the fuck!?!?

After saying this Jack(M) swiftly grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air.

Jack(M): Ubi vermis mori!

As he was about to attempt to end Havik dispute not knowing how to effectively kill him a monstrous roar pierced through the sound of the roaring flames.

*Stomp! Stomp! Stomp!*

*CRACK!*

Jack(M) was sent flying onto another room and Havik fell flat on his ass while his body finally began to heal the broken bone in his leg.

Havik: Fucking hell! What took you so long you giant bastard!?

He shouted as his leg finished healing and Ogre stared at the room he just punched Jack(M) into.

Ogre:...

Havik scoffs as he definitely felt ignored by the giant beast " How is this guy second in command if he doesn't even talk!? " He thought as an insanely loud roar bellowed from the room Jack(M) was in which strong enough to put some of Havik's flames out as well as shatter every glass window within the building.

Jack(M): Omnibus te mori murmurationis!

Just after he said this he suddenly lunched towards Ogre at incredible speeds which Havik barely managed to see and Ogre managed to keep himself standing as the force of the attack pushed him back through another wall.

Havik: You know what... You two can duke it out. I'm going to find those damn vermin that escaped!

He started to look around and noticed that the Vermin he was seeking was long gone, however, he failed to notice Ogre being grabbed by the throat by the Angry Hobo.

Havik: Well shit... Better start looking before-

*WHAM!*

Havik was predictably hit by Ogre who was thrown by Jack(M).

Jack(M): Quod est optimum !?

The Infuriated Drunkard stated making Havik sigh " Yeah... Next time this shit happens I'm just going to shut my mouth and get the hell outta dodge... " He mentally stated as Ogre got off of him, but what happened next was something Havik didn't expect to happen. Ogre suddenly grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and began to pull his arm back.

Havik: Wait! Ogre what in the Dark Lord's name are you-!?

Before he could finish his sentence Ogre threw him through the roof to good knows were just before Jack(M) socked him in the face hard enough to produce a shockwave strong enough to put some of the flames surrounding them out completely.

Jack(M): SORDIDUS !!!

He shouts as he went in for another swing, but Ogre managed to swiftly retaliate giving his own hard blow to the Berserk Caveman all while letting out a loud and very angry roar which didn't deter the most angriest Drunk man currently alive as get gave another blow to the humanoid monster before him. This continued going back and forth as the building burned to ashes around them, All the while, Kain watched from a distant rooftop with disinterest as he scoffed at the sight of their battle.

Kain: What a Barbaric way to fight. I swear if the beast wasn't so damn useful I'd cast him out and favor of another...

He pauses as he watches Ogre knee Jack(M) in the stomach before punching him square in the jaw before continuing to speak to himself.

Kain: But still, he far outpaces the others by miles so I'll have to tolerate it for now.

After saying this he turns to see his Art of a woman slitting her own throat made out of the blood of some unfortunate survivors that approached him thinking that he could help them, but instead, he murdered them in cold blood so he could draw his horrid vision.

Kain: In the meantime, I think I'll pass the time in a more... Entertaining fashion.

He states to no one in particular as he sees a couple and their child skulking in a nearby alleyway... And an image of a mother baptizing a newborn in her own blood came to him... Causing a slight grin to form on his face.

Meanwhile...

Chibi A/N: Welp that kid's dead.

A/N: You'd be very correct.

Chibi April: *Looks bewildered* B-but why would you say that?

A/N: Because Kain is a curl son of a bitch if you haven't noticed yet.

Chibi Michelle: Still kinda twisted dude...

A/N: Tell that to Insanity... Wait don't you'll give him ideas!

Chibi Racheal: Who's Insanity?

Chibi A/N: NO ONE!!! YOU HEARD NOTHING!!! AND WHERE WERE ALL OF YOU!?!?

Chibi Donna: Wow! chill out! We were just taking a lunch break.

Chibi A/N: That was a pretty long fucking break! What were you gal's doing!? Painting your nails!?

Chibi Leona: *Suddenly stops painting her nails and hides her hands.* N-no!

Chibi A/N: *Groan* LET'S GET BACK TO THE STORY ALREADY!!!

Phone: I'm sorry. This number is unavailable. Please try again later.

August let out an annoyed groan as he began to dial his wife's number again.

August: Come on! Come on! Work goddamn it!

As he said this you, Lilly, and Cassie watched the New's in complete shock as you see that monsters had overrun New York within hours.

Reporter(TV): The Military is advising people to head to Dock's to board ships as the Blockade is currently being assaulted by unknown creatures and every attempt at Flying in has failed.

He continued to talk about the Military efforts to fend off the attacking force has been problematic so far and tell everyone that anyone still in the city should avoid them at all cost.

Cassie: Holy shit... It's much worse than I thought.

She stated as suddenly the New's anchor currently relaying this information to the public was suddenly attacked by a monster as was the cameraman and the camera managed to catch one of them being literally ripped apart for a brief second before being cut off.

Lilly: It's just like Heaven's Gate city all over again.

She stated staring intently into the screen as memories of that damned place began to flood her mind like a bad nightmare she can never get rid of and you Looked at her with a questioning glare.

(Y/N): What exactly happened in that city? I thought a nuclear reactor melted down in the center of the city until you said otherwise.

You stated hoping she could shed more light on the situation, but before she could say anything August suddenly threw his Phone at a wall in anger.

August: SON OF A BITCH!!!

He shouted before sitting down on the couch so he could collect himself... And share some bad news.

August: Phone lines are down... We're cut off from the outside world.

You looked at him with a worried look as you haven't seen August act like this.

(Y/N): You ok man?

You asked in a concerned tone and August just flipped out.

August: No I'm not ok! My Wife and Daughter are out there and I don't even know if they're safe!

He took a moment to calm down as Cassie looked at him with a shocked expression, however, she can she understood why he was on edge as did you.

August: Goddamnit! Sorry... I didn't mean to go off like that. I'm just scared that something might have happened to them.

After he said a moment of silence passes before Mis. Splinter walked out of the guest room April was in with a bit of a worried look.

Splinter: April still hasn't awoken from her slumber. I'm beginning to worry that something is wrong.

Lilly looks at her with an odd glare as if she heard of something like this happing before.

Lilly: Hmm... What does her eye movement look like?

This question puzzled Splinter a bit, but she surmises that August's partner has some idea of what's going on.

Splinter: Nothing seems to be wrong with her vitals, but her eyes aren't moving at all. It's like she isn't in her body at all.

Lilly's eye narrowed a bit after she said this as You and Cassie turn your attention towards this conversation as August was salvaging the remains of his phone.

Lilly: That isn't good. She's probably in an out-of-body experience right now.

Normally any sane person would question this, but seeing as you experienced a nearly fatal experience with some Shadow Ninjas in purple pajamas and had... Relations with a few frisky anthro turtles as well they're even friskier master who is an anthro rat and they're all also Ninjas, So you just decide to accept it as Vail pops her head out of your pocket to give her two cents to the conversation.

Vail: If that were the case either her body is exposed or someone or something is guarding her body.

The moment the horned snake poked out of your pocket Cassie look a bit bewildered for a second before shrugging it off " Of course there's a pocket snake here now... What next? A Lizard from outer space? " She mentally stated in slight annoyance as she felt like a lot of weird stuff was just happening way too fast as Roxie started to stumble into the room with a bloody nose despite not having any injuries on her body.

Roxie: Hey do you guys smell iron?... Because I can smell it everywhere...

She weakly states before starting to fall and without a moment's hesitation you bolt over to catch her before she fell at surprising speeds as everyone but Splinter could track your movements.

(Y/N): Roxie! What's wrong!?

You asked franticly after catching her before she fell on her side while Vail looks like she just rode a very turbulent roller coaster as her eyes were spinning a bit.

Roxie: Don't know... Head started to hurt really bad... Images started to flash before my eyes... Can't think straight...

After she said that the canine passed out as Vail swiftly shook her head to force herself out of her daze while August started to make his way towards Donna's room.

August: I-I'll get Donna! She'll come up with something.

He states before hastily running down the hall and both Lilly and Cassie were currently trying to figure out what is happening as Splinter started to walk towards you.

Splinter: (Y/N)...

Chibi A/N: Hit the deck! *Jumps behind a couch*

You swiftly turn your head only for this to happen.

*SLAP!*

Splinter: How many times must I tell you NOT to move too much!? You'll reopen your wounds!

She states in an angered tone as she probably has to restitch your stomach again after you haphazardly ran over to someone's aid without thinking of your own wounds and as she continued to yell at you like an angry parent scolding their child for getting into the cookie jar Cassie and Lilly just watched in pure confusion as doctors don't normally slap the shit out of there patents.

Cassie: He was injured?

She quietly asked Lilly as she had no idea that the eyebrow-burning experience you had during your little run-in with the Pajama Ninjas left any lasting damage on you, after all, she couldn't tell the difference as you seemed to move just fine.

Lilly: He had a piece of shrapnel in his gut after the explosion. Though I will admit... It's pretty weird that he was able to move around so quickly after that.

She answered with a hint of doubt which swiftly turned to annoyed regret as Splinter's ear twitched after overhearing this, but before she could give the newly transformed tigress an ear full Vail pointed out the obvious problem they faced while you were still worrying over Roxie's condition.

Vail: Can we focus on the fact Roxie's brain is breaking down!? If we don't do something soon her memory will overload her mind and kill her!

She shouts being ever so slightly annoyed at the lack of worry for the poor canine causing Splinter to look at her with narrowed eyes to which Vail responded in kind by staring back with similarly narrowed eyes all the while you sit there holding Roxie in your arms rocking back and forth not even reacting to what's going on around you.

Splinter: Very well... But don't think I'll forget this incident.

She states in a begrudging tone, but she understood that ignoring the problem in front of her would only make things worse so she looked to Cassie with a request in mind.

Splinter: Mis Jones, can you assist (Y/N) and bring Roxie to my room for immediate treatment?

Cassie was about to ask why she couldn't just bring Roxie to Master Splinter's room, but she saw you trying your best to console the passed out pouch so vehemently that you probably didn't even notice that Vail had just slithered out of your pocket to examine Roxie more thoroughly as well as to try and get you out of your historical state.

Cassie: Uh Y-yeah I'll get on that.

After she said that she immediately made her way over to try and assist Vail to snap you out of your daze and while she did that Splinter looked towards Lilly with a serious expression.

Splinter: We need to talk.

Meanwhile...

Chibi A/N: Wait you're still not done?

A/N: Nope! We've still got one more stop to make.

Chibi Alopex: Hello.

Chibi A/N: *Jumps ten feet in the air* AHHHHHHH!!! YOU AGAIN!?!?

Chibi Alopex: I've been here for thirty minutes now.

Chibi A/N: Oh yeah? Well, where's the Chibi Turtles!?

A/N: They're out to get Pizza.

Chibi A/N: Oh... Well, that explains a lot.

A/N: Yeah they're Arguing about why type of pizza it should be as all ways, but enough about that! Let's get back to the story.

Chibi Alopex: *Sips tea* Sounds fine.

Chibi A/N: *Looks at Chibi Alopex with suspicion.*

Shredder was sending messages to the Foot Clan agents in the area to get read on the chaos, however, she didn't get any replays within her allotted time " They must be dead. " She surmises without so much as a drop of remorse for her men and as she finished sharpening her arm blades she heard something smash through the makeshift barrier the thugs made causing her to sigh.

Shredder: Useless.

She states with mild irritation in her voice as she exited her room and was met with the sound of gunfire along with a few garbling screams.

Shredder: Should have just used my Shadow ninjas to reinforce the place. They would have stalled them for longer.

She coldly says as she rounds the corner to see not a horde of monsters, but a single man with a long coat and a hood obscuring his face in shadow's welding a black halberd.

Shredder: Humf. This only proves my point. They can't even stop one man.

After stating this the Mysterious man split one of the goons in half with one strike making the other goons panic.

Goon Leader: Shit! He just cleaved James in fucking half!

The Good Leader shouted as he took a couple of potshots at the Dark figure who instantly ran him through.

Goon Leader: FUUUUCK! *Coughs up blood*

Shredder rolled her eyes as the other goons ran out the back which was swiftly covered in blood after a pale woman in a black dress swiftly used her sharp claws to disembowel them all the while giggling madly.

Shredder: Pathetic.

Her statement got on the Goon Leader's nerves as she been treating him and his crew like trash ever since she rolled in.

Goon Leader: Fuck... You... Bitch...

After saying those words of defiance he shot her the bird before parsing and just in time for the Darkly dressed man to throw the poor man's body into a wall.

Mantia: Ooooooh! If it isn't the overgrown blender herself! We've got a question for you!

Shredder stared at her with an unimpressed look as the woman before her didn't seem like much of a good fighter given her attitude " Most like prefers to rend her targets flesh with her claws... And the slit probably hides her true monstrous appearance. " She swiftly evaluated the well-dressed monster with ease as she had fought similar enemies.

Shredder: As if you're in a position to question me.

She stated coldly causing Mantia to let out a low growl of annoyance, but before she could do anything rash the Darkly dressed man spoke.

???: Such an arrogant personality. No wonder why you treat your men like lambs. You lead them to slaughter.

That comment caught the attention of the Shredder as this man was awfully bold to mock her in such a way.

Shredder: And what do you know of leading forces?

You asked in a slightly malicious tone and the man answered almost immediately with not a signal misstep in his tone.

???: More than you can muster that much is clear. Your miss begone pride and abusive tendency towards your men has lead to a lack of respect from your troops. They only follow you out of fear of what you or any number of your forces whether it be those of flesh and bone or darkness and shadow might do... And even that is warring thin as your clan grows restless of your actions and you're packed with the shadow realm is being called to question by the higher echelons of the Shadow King's court after so many defeats at the hands of a handful of turtles.

He paused to lower his hood as Shredder's eyes narrowed at the long-winded man and she saw a somewhat pale man with long black hair and a scraggly beard with a crown of charred thorns as well as Green eyes that seem to have a faint ominous glow.

???: In short... You're a prime example of what failed leadership looks like. Am I wrong?

Shredder gritted her teeth as she didn't know they knew so much of her deal and what rundown condition of her own clan.

Shredder: And who or what dears to sully my ears with poisoned words of slander? So that I may carve your name into your skull after I sever it from your body.

The Man did something she wasn't expecting... He sighed as if he was disappointed in her actions with greatly annoyed her.

???: As I suspected. An empty threat made half-hearted by the condition of an ailing mind... But it is only far to give you the common courtesy of my name since you asked for it.

The Man paused as he propped his halberd up as if he were holding a flag or a staff before stating his name.

Orren: My name is Orren Arch. Harald of He who brings Choas, leader of his dark army, and awaiting vestal of the Mad Lord himself.

He calmly states making Shredder scoff angering Mantia.

Mantia: You dare scoff at-

The man now known as Orren cut's her off.

Orren: Calm yourself, Mantia. She'll understand soon enough why I hold those titles. After all, her arrogance will be her undoing... As it has been before.

Shredder's brow furrows as she knew they did not come here to talk.

Shredder: Ask your question before I cut out your tongue for speaking in such a manner to me!

Her outburst only proved Orren's point of being as foolish as one can get with their egos are engorged by past victories that have aged like milk after a series of crushing and Humiliating defeats, but Orren and Mantia did not come here to belittle a failed leader that hasn't fully realized her folly... They came for something or more accurately someone.

Orren: We want Alex (L/N). Our Lord wants to use her gifts to bolster our army.

He states as Shredder starts to laugh maniacally.

Shredder: You think that little waif abilities are your Lords!? Because you are sorely mistaken! They will be mine once her powers start to manifest and I sacrifice her soul to the Shadow King!

She states revealing that she knew of Alex's powers and had planned on taking them for herself... Which means she must have kept her around until the time was right, however, the girl's death would be... Troublesome for the Mad lord. So Orren surmises that they were at an impasse " She seems to be too far gone to be of any use to us. " He thought as a sigh left his lips.

Orren: It seems I have wasted my time asking this question. You've obviously rarely sent her out on missions unless it was necessary so she must be around her...

He looked towards Mantia causing her to kneel before him without so much as a hint of fear within her movements making Shredder more agitated " Why do his followers do this? Should they not grovel in terror and dread!? Surely this man's rule must be weak enough for me to topple! " She thought as she prepared to strike at the Dark General.

Orren: Mis. Mantia, search for the girl and bring her to the tower.

Just as Shredder was about to lung at him Orren turned and made a remark that greatly angered her.

Orren: I will handle this... Failure.

Shredder viciously lunged at him which he blocked with ease as he knew that taunt would be effective.

Shredder: I AM NOT A FAILURE!!!

She screamed as Mantia ran towards the hall while the Angry Overgrown Blender began her unrelenting assault which Orren dodged and parried with ease, however, both of them failed to release that the prize they both want to clam as their own was overlooking the battle.

Alex: So that's what I was to you... A tool to be used for more power.

She quietly said before turning her back and walking away from the scene before they find out she's missing.

Alex: I guess I don't belong anywhere.

She somberly states as she makes her way towards a safe house a few hostages she took were being held as she still had one thing she wanted to do before leaving this damn city.

Alex: It doesn't matter. I gotta find my brother and get him out of this mess.

She states with trying to give herself something to hold onto in these desperate times as she continues to her personal safe house not knowing her foxy friend is closely following behind.

A/N: *Takes a breath* That'll do it for this Chapter!

Chibi A/N: Damn man, That's a lot of shit you packed into this chapter. You prepping for something?

A/N: Not currently no... I just felt like making this chapter a bit longer.

Chibi A/N: Fair enough. At least you have a good excuse for being late this time.

A/N: Yeah... Unexpected late Spring cleaning of the basement which hasn't been touched since 2016 isn't very fun.

Chibi A/N: That and the weather being a fucking asshole and going around 75 to 90 degrees and still doing yard work can't be fun.

A/N: It isn't. But enough about that. Where did Alopex go?

Chibi A/N: Oh she went out to get lunch.

A/N: Wait why are you so calm?

Chibi A/N: Listen I just got over doing five lines of pure sugar last night and my head is throbbing so much I can't expend the energy to freak out over shit right now. alright?

A/N: Ok Jezz... Well, I guess I'll do a send-off. We'll see you guys later! Stay Safe out there!

Chibi A/N: *In the kitchen* Where's the eggs!? I need to make some sandwiches...
