I didn't know what to expect when I was led by the gang into an alley, but it sure wasn't for the graffiti to become a portal.
"No way.." I awed at the swirling lights. "Yeah way, come on!" April led me in as leo muttered. "Mines cooler."
We ended up in a pizzeria, and a rather large line at the desk. April volunteered to hold our place in line while we explored, and by we I mean mostly me. "The wall of champions.." I mused. "Wow, cool beans."
"I'd bet you I could get on there." Leo boasted. "Dont be so sure." A voice responded. A snazzily dressed skeleton stood before us and behind a red velvet rope. "To get your picture there, you must beat the maze without any mystic powers."
"Powers schmowers, if the prize is the worlds greatest pizza like it says, we'll get two slices." Leo grinned. I silently fretted at the thought of entering some rough challenge, but its too late now.
Leo dragged his brothers into it as april held the spot in line, and we stood above a gigantic pizza shaped maze. "That's terrifying." I shuddered, holding fluffy close. "As if, Youve got a knight in blue with you, this'll be a breeze."

"This is not a breeze." Leo groaned after we hit another dead end. Fluffy chittered from my shoulder, the silverfish giving leo a sideways glance.
Fluffy and I began to look for some sort of clue like a pattern in the brick or something, while the brothers made a game plan. As a small pattern on the wall began to glow, I'd grinned thinking we found something.
""Hey guys, I think fluffy and I found something!" I called, waving an arm to catch their attention. As raph was about to respond, the ground rumbled and a massive wall slammed between me and the brothers.
"Guys?!" I yelled. "Y/n!" Came the quartet of voices. "Everything's fine, stay right there and if we-" I cut off Donnie's logic with a yelp as I smelt gas and heard a hiss. A spark ignited a wall of fire that he began to come straight at me.
"THE WALLS ON FIRE THE WALLS ON FIRE!!!" I shrieked, sprinting in the opposite direction with fluffy hot on my heels. When the flames finally ceased their chase, fluffy and I were hopelessly lost and almost completely alone.
"Guys??" I yelled, only receiving my own voice echoed back. "Dangit, this pizza better be good." I mumbled, setting off in a random direction.
-with the turts-
"FIRE WALL?!? okay stay calm stay calm I'll portal over-" "LEO! You can't portal or you'll be breaking the rule!"
The red eared slider groaned in realization. "Before you say it you cannot climb that wall." Donnie barked, making leo groan again. "Fine then, we play marco polo!" Mikey offered.
"Marco!!!"
The sound echoed with no response. "We'll do it on the move then, come on." Raph had to drag leo along, so that he didn't attempt to climb the wall.
———
"Marco!!!" "Mikey I don't think she can hear us." "Its worth trying though."
The brothers had seen hide nor hair of y/n and they hadn't heard a peep of her voice either, leading leo to sulk. "Uggghh, it was my idea to bring her in here.. what if she's lost?!" "She can't be more lost than we are, lee. Cmon." Raph tried to encourage.
"If we make it out and she's still lost, we can ask staff for help probably." Mikey added. Leo sighed, but nodded. "Fine, lets get that pizza and track down that human!"

The turtles came out of the maze utterly exhausted. They ended up having to use Leo's portal, but managed to earn themselves a slice each of the worlds best pizza. "So does this mean we get to be on the wall? What about y/n, we haven't found her yet." Leo asked.
"You get to be on the wall alright, the wall of cheaters. Your little friend made it out a while ago, check the tables she might be there." Hueso said.
Leo didn't focus on where his picture was going, he booked it to the seating area and saw april and y/n at a table as y/n chatted with a rather intimidating mutant.
She didn't expect leo almost lunging on her, the turtle closely inspecting for any sort of injury. "Hey, there you are! Look I made a friend!" Y/n gestures to the hulking mutant that looked to be a dragon. " we were both lost so we teamed up."
"What about the enemies, you don't have a weapon?" Leo asked, baffled. Just then fluffy coughed out a brick. "Fluffy ate them." She shrugged. "And I" the dragon started. "Crushed them."
Noticing the tension between turtle and dragon, april gathered up her group of friends and left, y/n waving to her new pal. They'd brought the pizzas april got to the lair and everyone split up to relax and eat.
Perched on the skate ramp, y/n plopped down her bag and rummaged through before pulling out a Tupperware container. "Whatcha got there?" Leo asked, looking up from his skating. "Leftovers, when I beat the maze I was told to take as much as I wanted, but I can only carry so much." She grinned.
"Leftovers of THE worlds BEST pizza?" Leo gaped. Y/n nods. "Yeah, want some?" Her eyes couldn't register as leo was immediately by her side. "For me.. lil ol neon leon? ... absolutely." He smiled.
They told their stories of the maze, and upon Leo's retelling y/n gave him a look. "Your brothers are wrong." She shrugged. "You seem like a champion to me."
Leo's heart stopped for a moment, before he smiled widely. "I am pretty great, huh?"
"I take it back."
