Brothers I've Never Known About

How it all began...

It was a dark night in NYC, everything was still, quiet and calm. Little do the citizens of New York know.. A secret underground city home to thousands of Yokai was in the works. The fellow habitants of their city were either shopping and scamming others, or watching the Extremely popular Battle Nexus.

Well, that was not the case for a certain yokai..
Baron Draxum was his name. He was well known for being a warrior-scientist ( or whatever y'all want to call him- ) Tonight he was going to work on a very special project.
One that would give him the very power to wipe out the Entire human race. Right now, he was walking around his lab waiting for two certain gargoyles, that were supposed to come back minutes ago with his
" package. "
"SIR! BOSS!" He hears two voices shout at once."Finally! Where were you?!" The sheep-like yokai exclaims.
"Apologies sir, we had to stop for a bit because he
was hungry." Muninn explains, pointing at Lou-Jitsu who is munching away happily on a piece of banana bread with for some odd reason has eyes in it.

"Why would stop stil- You know what it doesn't matter, bring him to test tube!" Draxum says ordering the gargoyles around. "Yes Sir!" The two yell, picking up Lou while he is still eating his now, almost finished banana bread. "Now are you sure no violence will be involved in this? Because I swore o-" Lou-Jitsu explains until Huginn interrupts him. "Off fighting for the rest of your life- WE KNOW" Huginn barks back, getting annoyed for he and Muninn had heard this story around like THIRTY TIMES ON THEIR WAY THERE- And it had started to annoy them. A silence fills the room until the movie star asks "what exactly do you guys need me for anyways?" He says, finishing his bread,
then cockily saying "is it for an autograph? I am pretty popular in 144 countries!" He says with a wink. "No, we do not want your stupid autographs." Draxum says with an annoyed tone, for he as well was getting annoyed. "You are going to be serving for a much better purpose" sheep-man tells him while his gargoyles throw him into a cage. With a loud *THUD* Lou-Jitsu hisses in pain, then complains, "Owwww... Next time be more gentle!" He tells them, but cannot be heard as the tall yokai and his two gargoyles were already making preparations.

He sighs, then looks around, examining his surroundings until he finds a small box put on a desk near to his cage. He reaches past the bars into the box, trying to find anything that can be of entertainment to him and pulls out.....

A turtle? He thought to himself, but shrugged that thought off and continued to play with it, cooing to himself about how adorable this little creature looked. But soon enough, his little play date with his new friend had come to an end, for Baron Draxum yanked the small red-earred slider out of his hands. "I see you have met my test subject." Test subject? Lou thought to himself again now starting to actually wonder why he was here- Until.. The puzzles pieces in his head clicked into place. "Are you?" He said with slight fear in his eyes, "going to make me a test subject?" "Wow, it really took you that long to figure it out?" Draxum says with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "But since you have figured out, yes, I will be using you to create the Greatest Army known to mankind! But in this case the greatest army to Destroy mankind."

Lou looked up in horror knowing his ancestors would not be proud of him if he was the one who managed to help an evil yokai scientist by accident.
He knew he couldn't let that happen, and was about to break out when apperantly, Draxum somehow knew what he was thinking and stuck a needle into his arm, making Lou pass out.

When he woke up all he could remember was being strapped to a contraption making his DNA flow into a test tube with only the red-earred slider inside. ( Which was extremely painful btw ) Now, why was the slider the only one inside of the test tube? Well Draxum figured this as a sort of test to make sure this works. If the turtle survived and successfully mutated, he would grab the other three in a deeper part of his lab and mutate them too, its as easy as that. Thats what he thought. While he was lost in his thoughts, Lou had been tugging and pulling and rejoiced out loud when he broke out. Baron Draxum jumped and
looked up in surprise
as he saw Lou destroy the machine that took YEARS. To make. As Lou looked around trying to find an exit, the mutating ooze seeped out of a massive crack in the tube, and had landed all over him. He started to feel an excruciating pain in his body as he started mutating into what looked like a rat-man. He screamed in pain as the contraption behind him started to override and eventually started to catch on fire, along with everything else around it. Lou-Jitsu looked around in panic as the bright neon green flames spread around the lab. "NO! MY CREATIONS!" The Baron screamed in anger. Lou-Jitsu remained quiet, still slightly in pain until he spotted the now mutated red-earred slider turtle sitting down close to him, looking afraid, darting its eyes in different directions. He felt pity for the little one, for if he left it here, it would be used for destruction, chaos, violence, he didnt want the little guy to suffer a fate like that. "Alright fine..." he thought to himself scooping up the tiny tot in his hands and running off towards the exit. "COME BACK HERE!" Draxum yelled at the rat-man running away. Lou looked back, the tot in his arms, the green flames and shadows covering his face as his eyes glowed. Then turning back, running out of the burning lab. Baron Draxum looked at him in pure anger and rage.
He would never forget what that man did to him. 

Meanwhile with Lou-Jitsu.......

He ran for his life. He didn't look back for now he was desperate to get back to the surface. He couldn't stay here, not when the sheep yokai would be wanting his head on a stick after destroying his lab. He kept on running, pushing other yokai out of the way and almost dropping the slider in the process. He was starting to grow tired until he saw a penguin like yokai using a portal to what seemed on the other side looked like....
"New York City"
He thought. He then sprinted after the penguin, hoping that he was fast enough to make it back to NYC. Still sprinting, the portal started to close. So with a leap of faith he jumped.. Then landed to what felt like concrete. He looked up, happy and relieved to see the bright lights of New York once again, after being trapped in the Battle Nexus for so long. He glanced down, smiling at the small turtle he cradled in his arms. "What shall I name you?" He thought out loud. For a few minutes. He came up with several names but nothing came to appeal for him. Until he came up with...
"Leonardo. That is your name now little one."
The small tot looked up at him then smiled, cuddling up to its new dad, happy to feel the comfort and warmth in the hug. Lou smiled even more at this, happy to be a father. But knew the difficulties being a father to a mutated turtle, for he looked like a mutated rat. But he wouldn't let that get in the way.
He would give this child all of his love and support even when times started to get tough.

Meanwhile with Baron Draxum....

He grumbled in anger, surviving the fire that burnt down the lab that took years to make. He swore to himself he would make that man pay for what he's done. "Him and his stupid hot soup little..." He started while looking through the scraps of his crumbled up lab. He continues to curse about Lou-Jitsu until he find a sample of some sorts. A tube filled with.. DNA? Wait- DNA! He realized while looking over the medium sized tube. "This contains the very DNA of that rat Lou-Jitsu!" He remembered, for when he knocked Lou out with that needle filled with a substance that make your victims pass out. He extracted some DNA from him and put it in a tube just in case the experiment failed and he died somehow. He scavenged more, trying to find anything else that can be of use to him, then found three other larger tubes filled with an ooze and inside also were.. The three other turtles.
He chuckled to himself.
"This will do nicely..."
He said outloud.
