Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
I'm terrible at propaganda but....
...If you want to.
@tmntaucompetition
As an incentive, I drew something from one of the few heartwarming scenes in the fic. I thought I'd give everyone a break from the angst.
Still loads more angst to come though hehe.
If Prolonged Agony gets through I will drew more art.
I'm not much of an artists, I'm far more confident writting, but its fun to try anway.
End of the movie… or at least it should've been.
The Krang successfully grabbed Leo's leg and pulled him back into the prison dimension. When, unable to keep it open, the portal closes. Locking him in the void with the most malicious creature he's ever met.
Now it's a race against time to bring Leo home. But with each attempt they see Leo deteriorate… and Mikey starts to question whether or not Leo should be allowed out of the prison dimension at all.

Plot: It was a normal day for the four spirits when suddenly four turtles and one human changed everything.
Genre: Fluff, Attempts at Humor, Family-Bonding, Light Hearted, Original Characters, Canon Compliant
Notes: this one is a bit meh, but it's been sitting around for a while so I decided to just publish it as it is. I'm working on other projects that are much more exciting, so all my time is put into that instead.
Standing tall on the outskirts of the Hidden City stood a tall menacing building filled with a mix of mechanical and organic parts. Pulsing vines, steaming pipes, ominous glowing lights. The home of a warrior-scientist yokai. Inside, amongst many, many rooms, is a large abandoned hall filled to the brim with new and old weapons of various kinds. Swords, axes, arrows, shields. The room pulsed with a vibrant energy of science and magic combined in a glorious concoction. And there, on a far wall, glowing brilliantly in hues of red, orange, blue and purple sat four weapons unlike the rest. An Odachi, Tonfas, Kusari-Fundo and a Halberd. Mystic power surged through the wood and metal, a buzz surrounding them, shivers of vibrations, and, if you leaned close enough, you might be able to hear voices.
The voices of four ancient spirits.
"Rock. Paper—"
"We've got no hands, Fundi."
"Oh right, yeah…. Uh… I spy with my little—"
"No eyes either."
"But we can still see, Oda, so we can still play!"
Oda—un-originally named after the Odachi he inhabits— sighed. One would think, after decades of being stuck on a wall in a long forgotten room with three other unusual spirits, he would've gotten used to Fundi's incessant need to be entertained.
But no.
There was no getting used to this.
And he didn't want to get used to this either.
It was driving him mad.
"—Something beginning with 'A'!"
"Ax." Oda didn't hesitate to answer.
"Damn."
Right, after decades of eye-spy, when they couldn't move past the wall they were strapped to, there were only so many things they could use to play the word game with … and only so many weapons starting with 'A'.
Oda sighed again.
"Okay, okay, me next." The red glowing Tonfas beside him chuckled, obviously trying to save Oda from another headache. "Hmmm…" The spirit inhabiting the Tonfas—aptly named Tonfa— hummed thoughtfully. "Ooh I've got it! I spy with my little eye something beginning with—huh?! Turtles?"
Fundi groaned. "Tonfa that isn't how you play—"
"No look." If he could've, he would've pointed at the pile of four humanoid-turtles stacked at the far end of the room having fallen from an old trapdoor tunnel. "Turtles?…and a human!"
Oda quickly snapped to attention at the mention of a human. Yokai and such they were used to. The Baron that owned this building, and subsequently them, was a yokai. His henchmen and gargoyles were also yokai, so turtle yokais weren't anything new. A human however… that was new.
"Oh, do you think they'll want to play eye-spy too?" Fundi beamed, a flicker of fire shivering down his chain in anticipation.
"Draxum says humans are vile, evil creatures." The normally quiet purple Halberd—Hal—muttered nervously, a trembling pulse vibrating around his spiked ball. "What if the human wants to hurt us?"
"What if the human wants to use us for evil?" Tonfa added to Hal's already growing anxiety, a few particles of translucent squares formed around the Tonfas like nervous beads of sweat.
"Humans aren't inherently evil." Oda said calmly. "But if she doesn't get out of here soon, she'll be the one in danger. You know how much the Baron hates humans."
Tonfa's fear subsided, turning into concern instead. "Oh no, the poor thing." He fussed. "We should do something."
"No." Oda said firmly.
"But what if the human—" Hal said in a small unsure voice.
"We cannot make ourselves known." Oda cut in with a tone of age-old wisdom. "We'll just keep an eye on them and hopefully they'll find a way out of here soon."
"I'm sure those turtle yokai will help her." Tonfa agreed.
Fundi lifted up the ball at the end of his chain, a puff of orange fire zipping around the spiked ring through the center, something he only did when he was agitated. "But just watching is booorrrrriiiinnnngggg!"
Oda sent a spark of blue electricity towards the Kusari-Fundo, effectively telling Fundi to stop; they couldn't risk being seen. Fundi lets the fire die, but not before huffing childishly at the Odachi-inhabiting spirit.
Oda chose to ignore him and instead focus on the intruders.
The turtles recovered quickly from the messy pile of limbs and were quick to explore the vast range of sharp and dangerous weapons around them.
"It's like if magic and science had a baby!" The one in a purple mask said as he marveled at the mad-scientist aesthetic.
They sound like children, Oda noted with an inward cringe. Children and weapons do not bode well. Where are these kids' parents!?
"These'll do." Another one of them exclaimed merrily while holding up a pair of nunchucks. Nunchucks weren't too bad, at least they weren't sharp. The turtle would soon throw them down once he realizes just how difficult they are to wield. A few bruises and bumps later and hopefully he'll never pick up a weapon again.
The blue one however…. He just had to pick up a pair of Katanas. He probably saw the shiny sharp blade and saw himself and some kind of ninja. This isn't a game, Oda wanted to yell. But alas he knew the turtles couldn't hear him.
All four turtles and the human danced around the room, each picking weapons they found "cool" or whatnot. And here Oda thought Fundi was the biggest headache. No, these children beat the unruly spirit by a mile. They were reckless, overly-excitable, and completely unaware of the danger they were in by being in Baron Draxum's lab.
But it just had to get worse before it could get better.
Oda knew what the large red one was thinking when his eyes turned to the wall the spirits were strapped to. Like a moth drawn to a lamp, the bright light the spirits emitted had the big one's eyes sparkling with awe. A huge grin spread across his face revealing his singular spiked tooth.
"Don't do it kid," Oda mumbled. "Ignore the urge. Just walk away."
"Oda…" Hal whispered. "I think the big one is looking at us."
"Don't do it kid, don't—"
"Hey yo, guys!" The red one called out loudly to the others, a mischievous smirk on his beak. Oda groaned. "How about we take the glow-y ones?"
Hal inhaled anxiously next to him. "Oh no."
Fundi giggled. "I don't know why you guys are so worried." He said with an air of mischief himself. "They seem fun!"
"Oh, dibs on the sword!" The blue one exclaimed, much to Oda's horror.
"No! No "dibs" on the "sword", do you even know what type of sword I am?" Fundi laughed harder as Oda glowered angrily at the blue‐clad turtle reaching up to him with sparkling eyes "I am an Odachi! Not something a snot-nosed kid like you should lay a finger on— no, stop! Kid seriously, put me down. You'll only hurt yourself!"
"Oh boy!" The blue one gleamed proudly.
"Too late." Fundi laughed as the smallest turtle grabbed with him an equally joyous laugh.
"Hot soup!" The orange one yelled as he struck a pose.
"Hot soup?" Fundi laughed harder. "This kid is funny!"
"Boom!" The red one shouted as he took the Tonfas off the wall next and struck his own fierce pose. "Hahaha!"
"Please be careful, big guy." Tonfa didn't seem all that bothered by the turtle holding him up in the air like a trophy. In fact, much to Oda's dismay, the Tonfas spirit sounded like a proud older brother as the red turtle started shadow-boxing with him.
He expected Fundi to be ignorant of the consequences of children wielding powerful music weapons. But for Tonfa to also take everything in his stride without doubts was surprising… and frustrating.
Surely he could rely on Hal to be sensible. Hal was always sensible, but only because his overactive anxiety and nervousness got the better of him in pretty much every situation.
Oda watched Hal carefully while trying to keep the young turtle from cutting himself as he swung the Odachi around like a stick. He gulped dryly as the human girl took the Halberd off the wall. Then, without a second thought, strode causally towards the final and less excitable purple turtle.
Oda watched apprehensively as Hal started to panic, stuttering incoherently.
"What about you, Donnie?" She swung the Halberd teasingly in front of the turtle. "Don't you want a glow-y weapon?" She asked as if said weapon was as harmless as an inflatable toy.
"No, I'm good." Hal breathed a sigh of relief when the turtle quickly turned down the offer in favor of stroking his mechanical-advanced bo-staff like an overprotective parent. "I'll never let you go." The turtle whispered with a pout.
The human girl shrugged it off, almost as if she expected such an answer and the Halberd went limp at her side.
"Oh, thank goodness." Hal breathed out.
At least one of them is sensible, Oda couldn't help but think as he caught a glimpse of the three other turtles playing ninja by themselves.
Wait, Oda takes it back, this purple one isn't sensible… in fact he's just as clueless as the others as he ponders over a small purple mystic crystal. "This looks interesting, though." He says cheekily as he snatched the crystal and tucked it away, no doubt for later investigation.
"Doesn't he know how dangerous that thing can be!?" Oda mentally face-palmed.
Suddenly they all gathered together and an air of eagerness buzzed around them. Then the red one raised an arm and loudly declared, "Let's go save the dog thingy!"
Oda sighed for the umpteenth time. "These kids are going to give me an aneurysm and kill me all over again."

CHAPTER 2 OF “Time Gateway” IS OUT NOW!
Donnie’s eyes are practically sparkling with glee, wrapping his hands around Casey’s wrist and dragging him toward an enormous machine made up of lilac metal and a mess of wires. “Now just step in here and in- '' Donnie types away at his wristpad, sticking his tongue out in focus. “15.8 seconds, you’ll be all set!” He slides into the nearest chair, swiveling around the room from screen to screen, typing at ungodly speeds on his keyboard.
OR: a Casey jones jr hurt/comfort found family fic!
It’s been three weeks of this; waking up and expecting himself to be back on a battlefield, ready to move at any moment. It’s absurd to think that now, there’s no battle raging that needs his undivided attention, no more lessons to learn from his sensei. He’s directionless, floating aimlessly through the life he worked so hard to obtain.
Is this really the life he's living after everything Master Leonardo sacrificed? Everything Leo worked for just fell through Casey's hands like meaningless sand. He can feel the guilt crawling up his throat, a life wasted in the wreckage of their victory.
OR Casey Jones has to confront his trauma.

His scarred hands grip the crayon so hard Mikey worries it’ll snap as it shakes weakly in his fist. The pencil falls to the paper with a sharp smack, and his tears swiftly follow it. It’s been weeks of this rinse and repeat, just shaken garbage filling the pages he used to love so dearly. He tries not to let it get to him, to put a smile on his face, but it hurts.
Just some good old-fashioned Mikey hurt/comfort :)
