Prologue: Facere nos homines
"Geez, Leo, can't ya go any faster? Angel's Gramma drives faster than what you're doin' now!" Raphael grouched from the back seat. Leonardo ground his teeth and stopped the Sewer Slider.
"Tell you what, Raph; I'll just let you drive since you're obviously an expert!" Leo stood, his fists clenched. Raph grinned maniacally.
"Finally, he admits it!" Raph slid into the driver seat and cracked his knuckles. Donatello frowned at him. "You know, Raph, it's a proven study that cracking your knuckles causes arthritis. So if you wanna be able to spin those Sais in thirty or so years, you'd be wise to stop right now."
Michelangelo snorted from the passenger seat "Raph? Wise? Since when has Raph ever been wise?" He ducked to avoid Raph's attempt to slap him.
"Shuddup, Mikey." Raph turned the keys into the ignition and slammed down the gas pedal "Here we go!"
Mikey groaned as he shot forward to as far as the seat belt allowed him "Smart Leo, let Raph drive. Splinter drives better than him."
"Raph, stop!" Leo cried. "That's the 10th piece of driftwood you've managed to hit. Let Mikey drive." Mikey rubbed his hands together in anticipation.
"Whoa! Look at that!" Don exclaimed, pointing at a scroll that was floating down the sewer. He reached in and grabbed it. "Amazing! It isn't even the least bit damp! I wonder if it has some kind of water resistant coating?"
Raph looked over his shoulder "You're right; it doesn't even have a drop of water on it."
Mikey grabbed it. "Oooh, it's got some thing written on it! 'Facere nos homines'. What does that mean, Donny-o?"
"It means 'make us human', shell for brains."
The green teens sat, suddenly feeling light headed and drowsy. Mikey was the last to succumb to slumber's wishes, but not without one final remark.
"I didn't know it was naptime."
Don yawned, and stood with a stretch. He looked at his now stirring brothers. Something wasn't right with them. He looked down at his own two hands.
"Aaaaah!" he exclaimed. Leo quickly jumped up, katanas drawn.
"What is it?" he asked, before his jaw dropped "Don, what…?"
Don inhaled slowly. "Facere nos homines. Make us human…it made us human!"
Da da DUM! Exciting, eh? Stay tuned!
