Teenage Mutant Homie Turtles | Issue #1

Chapter 4 • Mutation

What I felt was a burning sensation on my skin. It was as if my body was breaking itself apart but coming back together again. I float through the liquid swimming to get out, I leap out of the ooze feeling somewhat more powerful. I moved around, my back feels stiff. "What the hell is this feeling?" I ask myself. I walk out looking down at myself. I almost fainted at the sight of green skin, 3 fingers, a turtle shell, and no hair. However, my face still overall felt the same. Whatever this ooze was it changed my brothers and me into these turtles. Dovante woke up looking around.

"Holy shit, am I trippin'?" He moved his hand around astounded by his appearance. "Fascinating.." He got up looking at us. "What happened?" He asked now knowing this wasn't a dream anymore. "Those Purple Dragon punks pushed us into this green liquid and now, here we are. We're turtles now!" I explained to him. "Hm, I believe this green liquid or mutagen may have turned us into turtles because we touched it, but that's just my theory," Dovante said. "Yeah well whatever happened to us, we need to get revenge on those Purple Dragon dudes before they inflect more chaos with us gone," I said. "But we need to get geared up, I think we may have lost our weapons from that fall. Let's find some things that could work." We all split up, I search for a long-bladed weapon, and Devontae grabs a mop. "This won't do at all." He said. He broke off the end of the mop only leaving the wood part. "That's better." Malik began looking for his batons.

He stumbled across his elongated baton that was broken in half. "Aw man, I still wanted to use this shit to whoop somebody's ass." He said disappointed. He then looked over to a chain on the ground that was used by the Purple Dragons. He picked them up and attacked the chains onto the broken batons making a pair of nunchucks he smiled down looking at his creation. I managed to find long-bladed knives. I told them to meet back. "Do we all have weapons?" I asked they all replied yes except Rashawn. "I only used my fists because I don't have any weapons that could possibly resemble the sai." He said. "Excuse me what?" I asked, "I'M TALKING TO THE READER DAMN IT!"

YEAH I KNOW IT, I'M SELF-AWARE I'LL BREAK THE FOURTH WALL WHENEVER I WANT TO NI-

I pull Rashawn away from whatever he was doing and I walked me and the others out into the roof. The others and I cut eyeholes into our bandanas we then pulled them over our eyes. We used what was left of our clothes to tie belts around our waists to hold our weapons. "You guys ready to defend the hood my bruddas?" I asked. "Yes, homie!" they all replied. We all leaped roof top to roof top going out to defeat the Purple Dragons once and for all.

Shortly after they left, two robotic bodies walk out from the shadows. ["THE ONES WHO ARE IDENTIFIED AS THE TURTLES ARE NO LONGER AT THIS PLACE."] One of the robots said. The other one replied, ["THE ONES THAT ARE CALLED TURTLES ARE DANGEROUS TO WHAT WE ARE DOING IN THIS PLACE AND OTHER PLACES."] The robots then looked at each other as the other one said ["YES BROTHER, THE TURTLES MUST BE ELIMINATED FROM ALL PLACES."]
