Blood pounded in her ears, dark sap crackling against the floor in front of them. Their staff felt rigid in their hands, their darkened hands. Whatever spirit Y/n had found those many days ago hadn't left her since. And a part of them knew it would never leave. A mystical being, one that looked much like a weasel. They had been one of the founders of the hidden city, bringing peace and prosperity with their brothers and sisters. But couldn't help themself when they saw the cracks in the system, instead opting to use darkness to cover the newly built city. And so they were banished until Y/n found them. She hadn't meant to stumble upon their alter that day. But ever since- a darkness grew in her. It consumed her hands and legs, even her cheeks had a darker tint nowadays.

She forged a charm, one that would cover the more inhuman features she had grown since her possession. But it didn't work when she was like this.

She held out a hand, forcing the yokai to stop. Darkness filled the room, echoing into the city beyond. It seeped from her staff, it seeped from all of her form. "Get out." She said. That's all it took for the spirit to step backward, recognizing the dark mask that had grown on her cheeks.

April crouched on the floor, scooting away from her friend. "You're..." Y/n turned, staff in hand. But it was strange, for how scared the minions had looked running away- it seemed like Y/n was much more terrified. She knew April wasn't the only one who saw her.

Y/n's boot quickly carved a sigil in the dirt, before planting her staff into its mark. She stepped into the portal below her, ready to disappear for good. But something grabbed her, held her with all his might. Donatello used his staff to steady himself, using his other hand to grip hers. But she saw it in his eyes. He was scared too. Just as his brothers went to help him, Y/n kicked him off to fall into the unknown.

The portal closed the second she fell through. Donnie's hands laid over the sigil, over the solid dirt she had just fallen through. He heard his brother's voices in an echo, Mikey's hand jumping to his shoulder. He shut his eyes as tight as he could before he could face the world again. He knew it was a tight squeeze, he knew that if Y/n hadn't stepped in April could have gotten hurt. That the turtles were already stretched thin today as it was. But how did she step in?

He opened his eyes, watching Leo help April up. Donnie stood up, "Did you know she could do that?" He asked. April stumbled, correcting her glasses. "No. No, I didn't. Is she a..?" "Yokai," Raphael said. "She had a charm- just like Sunita." Leo added, "But it was different. It was- warped and dark. Something is wrong with it." April held her breath, "This.. magic is different." They all looked around at the building. Dark energies were still plastered on its walls, curved and sharp as Y/n's marks had been.

Donnie turned back to the sigil she had made, shoving his goggles onto his face. It was laced with mystic energy, more than he had ever seen.

"Leo- give me your sword." He pulled up his goggles, turning to the group. "Wait-" "We don't know what's going on. What if she's more dangerous than that goon?" Raphael told him, "You saw the way they looked at her." April gulped, "But you didn't see the way she looked at me." She looked at Donatello, "She was terrified." She let her shoulders fall, "She wouldn't have blown her cover if.. It wasn't for me." They all knew she was right, and they all knew Y/n long enough to know that she was good. She cared for all of them, even if she barely showed any visible emotion.

"Maybe we can track her with the portal," Leo said, unsheathing his sword. "But what's gonna stop her from running away again? And- what's going on?!" Mikey gripped his head, "I'll go." They all looked at Donatello. They all knew something was there, between the two. April had always found it obvious, even before the brothers teased him about it. "Go in first, we'll follow you later," Leo sliced open the mark. But his portal began to darken the moment it touched it, dark ooze beginning to pollute the light blue of its core. "Better hurry." Donnie nodded, quickly jumping into the bite-sized portal.
