Debut

"Big Mama! Big Mama! Who may be these two little turtles with you?" A alligator Yokai asked, moving the microphone from his mouth closer to Big Mama's. She chuckled slightly while asking her bodyguard to come closer. The owl Yokai held two baby turtles. One with light skin, red marks behind his eyes both in crescent and waning moon shaped. The other one with a darker tone of green for his skin, he had purple squares around his shoulders and thighs and had a soft shell(Like, literally). Both of them slept peacefully in the owl's big arms

"These two little turtle-boos are my kids, Leonardo and Donatello" She caressed each one's faces while pointing out who is who. "They are twins!"

The alligator Yokai's eyes widened in surprise. "Twins? Oh, Big Mama, they're adorable! But I didn't know you had children."

Big Mama smiled proudly, her eyes glowing with attention as she looked at her sleeping turtle babies. "Yes, indeed. They're my pride and joy. And let me tell you, they've got quite the talent too."

The alligator Yokai raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Talent? What kind of talent are we talking about here?"

Big Mama chuckled softly before motioning for the owl Yokai to hand her one of the sleeping turtles. She gently cradled Donatello in her arms before turning to face the crowd. "Well, you see, my little Donnie here," she said, brushing a finger over his soft shell, "has the voice of an angel. And his brother Leo..." She paused, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Let's just say Leo can charm anyone with his singing."

The alligator Yokai's eyes widened even further, disbelief evident on his face. "You mean to tell me that these tiny turtles are going to be singers?"

Big Mama nodded, a proud smile stretching across her face. "That's right. They're going to take the world by storm with their music. And you better believe they'll make their mama proud."

With a twinkle in her eye, Big Mama handed Donatello back to the owl Yokai before striding confidently towards the stage, her turtle babies cradled safely in her arms. As she stepped into the spotlight, the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, eager to witness the debut of the newest stars in the Yokai music scene. And with Big Mama by their side, there was no doubt that Leonardo and Donatello were destined for greatness.

"That's a high note for Leon! Think you can do better than that Dee?" Leo looked over his shoulder to the soft shelled turtle beside him.

"Why my, non lingual friend, watch and learn!"

Both turtles, now in their 17's, were recording for their newest album, in which Leo insisted on singing some of his parts in Spanish to attract more Yokai. Donatello stepped up to his Microphone, doing his best to surpass his brother's high note...which even with a high voice, he still couldn't do it. But it was almost.

While the twins fought inside the sound booth, Yokai outside listened to them singing, completely mesmerized. It's a gift they found out after their 2nd concert. Apparently, their voices were so perfect it could hypnotize people. So if they sing enough, they could get people to do whatever they wanted.

As Donatello finished his line, the Yokai outside the sound booth erupted into applause and cheers, their eyes gleaming with admiration and awe. Leo smirked triumphantly at his brother, teasing him with a playful nudge.

"Not bad, Dee, not bad at all," Leo remarked, his voice laced with playful competitiveness. "But you've still got a long way to go if you want to beat me."

Donatello rolled his eyes, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. "Oh, please, Leo. You know I'll surpass you one day."

Their banter was interrupted by their producer, a fox Yokai with a keen eye for talent. "You two are absolutely phenomenal! Your voices are like nothing I've ever heard before. We're going to make history with this album!"
