Hello everybody! I am not completely new to making fan-fictions, but this one is a lot of firsts for me. For example, it's my first TMNT fan-fic, and my first published one. So uhh, I have someone to thank all this for; my good friend Cocoaflower, without her I would have never found out about mutated turtles, or fan fictions. So, if you like this, then thank her!
As you can tell this story is about Mona-Lisa. As a budding turtle fan I was fed the 2k12 version, and later discovered the other versions. So I wanted Mona-Lisa in the 2k12 version, and wrote a story about it. Some people may think that she's OOC, but this is how I perceive her character. The way she swears is a little different just so you know. I gave her a family too. The beginning was inspired by a picture I found on google-images. This story is a one-shot, if people like it then, I will continue! (Please leave your thoughts in the comments and if you have any suggestions put them there as well!) Thank you! Disclaimer: The turtles are not mine, and that's a good thing too. I wouldn't know what to do with them.
Ugggg… what on earth happened to me? Oww… My head hurts… It feels like that time in karate class when I fell off that step ladder and hit the wall…. Maybe I have a concussion…. My body feels like all of my muscles have been replaced. I must have been in water because I can feel my hoodie sticking to my skin. Then why can't I feel my pants? What is that smell? What died in here? Wait a minute… Where am I?
I open my eyes to a dim light. Although it's dark, I can see everything in detail. I am in that abandoned sewage outlet that was closed down 30 years ago; I can even see all the little dents in the wall. I know I have 20/20 vision, but it was never this good… Definitely a concussion. How did I get in here? As I attempt to stand I am pulled down by a weight on my back. What? I didn't take my back pack with me, so why do I feel as if there was an extra ten pounds added on to my back?
….
HOLY SPINNACH! I HAVE A TAIL! And it's green and leathery! I frantically check the rest of my body. Okay, I have all ten of my fingers and toes. Well technically eight fingers and two thumbs, except now they're webbed, and also green and leathery… Oh cool, Retractable claws… So now I know why I couldn't feel my pants. They were probably ripped off my body when my tail formed…. Fortunately, this hoodie is long. Hold on…. Do I still have my HAIR?! I mean having a tail is neat and all but I really wouldn't like to be bald after all this… oh good. Still have some part of my humanity.
What am I anyway? Probably shouldn't go into the city to find out. Oh no… my family! How long have I been gone? Let's see… I left the house for a walk at around half past five…. I hope my watch is still intact… Nope, busted… Most likely from water damage… Great, alrighty then, let's sit and figure out how I became Ms. Scaly-tail.
As I left the house, I waved to my mom and siblings.
"Be back in time for dinner, honey! I'm making your favorite!" Mom knows how to make any day a good one.
"Yeah! If you're not back at 7:00 sharp, I'll eat all of your doughnuts!" Younger sisters can be so annoying... Especially mine…
"Oh don't worry I would be back on time, even without those odds." Since when have I ever been late for anything?
"Could you bring me some rocks for my collection? Please?" Ah, I should get him a blue one. He doesn't have one of those yet.
"Of course I'll bring you some buddy, and maybe a shell too." Wait… someone is missing…
"Can I have a hug Lizzy?" There he is.
I give the four year-old boy a hug. Can't I just leave the house already? I need a bit of a breather. I cross the street quickly to avoid any more hindrances. Man, today has been terrible. And I don't lose my patience easily. I don't think today can get any worse. I pay the bus fare and find a seat in back. It's a twenty minute ride to the river. I have some time to calm down before I get to my destination. Maybe I can take a nap…
Wait! What's that sound? (It seems my hearing has been amplified too.) It's a car engine... In an abandoned sewer!? That can't be good… It's time to see what I can do, and test the limits of this new makeover…
I follow the distant sound of the rumbling engine by running. I think these muscle up-grades have enhanced my speed capability… From what I can tell, I'm some sort of lizard. Lizards can climb on walls and stick to flat surfaces… I have got to try that.
Slowly in the shadows I apply my new hands to the wall to see if I can really do this. Then I add my feet, I gradually begin to scale the wall in the sewer. This is so cool. I wish my brothers were here to see me. Check that, they would probably be freaking out and running off scared just with one look at me.
Using my new skill, I continue to follow the sound of the engine. It's going pretty fast according to the echo. I'm having a hard time keeping up with the sound. Hey, it stopped. I travel over to where I can see and not be seen. Whoa! Figured out where that sound was coming from. It's a big subway car covered in graffiti, and has huge tires. Whoever built that has great engineering skills. Uh oh, someone is coming out. But I can't see them… wonderful.
*Ding* Why did it ding?
"Hey April, did you see the way I hit that foot-bot in the head with my hockey puck? It went POOSHK! Right through its metal skull! Awesome right?" Pooshk?
"Pooshk? Uh, what does that even mean, shell brain?" Shell brain?
"C'mon dude obviously it's like, a super-duper cool sound effect. Like ZAP! Or POW! And BAM! Aren't you supposed to be the genius here Don?"
"WHAT? How does not understanding a ridiculous sound effect, rule me out for being a genius?"
"Because geniuses know everything! DUH!"
"Geniuses don't know everything, Michelangelo." Michelangelo?
"Well, they should."
"If geniuses know everything, then wouldn't that make you a comic book genius?" Oh, a female voice.
"Whoa… you're totally right April! Hear that Raph? I'm a genius! Oh yea, I'm a genius, I'm a genius!"
*THWACK*
"OW! The heck was that for?!"
"Shouldn't you know? -You're a genius remember?" Well, doesn't this guy sound like a ball of sunshine.
"Haha! BURN! He got ya dude!"
"April, Casey, I'm going to get Splinter, he said he wanted to talk to you guys before we took you home."
"Eep! Protect me, Raph!"
"Sorry, you're on your own, Jones." I can almost hear him smirking.
I block out their conversation temporarily to focus on getting a better view of who (or what) just climbed out of the strange contraption. I can see the speakers now. What the pineapple?! Three big, green, umm turtles? Hey, I recognize those two humans, (Listen to me; I'm talking as if they're some sort of strange species). They go to school with me; I wondered why I was hearing their names.
Whoa, Casey is seriously geared up! What are those? Hockey sticks and baseball bats? Is he fighting anyone? That would make sense considering who he is. Why is he fighting anyway? And more importantly, who is he fighting? The turtles have weapons too. Why is April with them?
"Whoa, Don, don't you know what English is?" Casey says dramatically.
"Yea, he does. He just speaks a different dialect." April comments.
"Heh, suppose that's one way to put it, April." He's blushing and twiddling his… fingers? Hmm… this one must be "Don". Note to self, tall, purple mask, tooth gap, slightly geeky…
"But it doesn't even sound like English! It sounds like Greek or something." Casey doesn't seem to be convinced.
"That would be Latin, you uncultured ignoramus." That's a pretty accurate description. (Make that very geeky.)
Everyone stares blankly at him.
"Ingir-what?"
"Ignoramus."
"Ingrus… du… igmrous…ah I mean… forget it." I have to stifle a giggle.
"Casey, dude. I have no idea what he just said but I'm sure it wasn't nice, man." This one is… bouncy, orange bandana, freckles, short, not the brightest light bulb in the hard ware store (… well, neither is Casey).
"Heh. You don't really need to know what he said, just think of what everyone else calls you." Red bandana, short, lightning-bolt shaped crack on his… chest, unpleasant, aggravating…
*Thwap*
"STOP THAT MIKEY!" … Short tempered, violent.
"What is taking Leo so long? I have a math exam to study for." Which one is Leo?
"We have an exam tomorrow?! Aww man… I am not ready for this…"
"How could you not know we had an exam?! Our teacher has only been telling us about it, for what? The past MONTH!"
"Eh heh… calm down April, it's just an exam!"
"I'm perfectly calm! You're the one who's going to be kicked off of the hockey team if you fail Trig."
"Looks like you should study, bro."
"I got that figured out, Raph!" So his name is Raph. More like Wrath…
"Hey, April I could, um… you know, come over and help you study if you want…" Awe...
"Knock it off Donnie, I'm the one in need a study partner, not April!" Oh there's competition.
"Uhh… guys?" And nobody's listening to you. Sorry.
"Wait a second, Casey, are you saying that you want Don as you're study-buddy?" Freckles makes a good point, it did sound that way.
"WHAT?!" At least there's one thing they seem to agree on.
"Hold up guys, we're being watched." Wait, what did Wrath just say?
To be continued...
