Moon Chronicles: INTO THE MINI-VERSE

Seeking Help

So, with that, Jake and April went with Jakus to figure out how to get him back to his dimension. But first, they needed to make an important stop. . . at a diner.

"Oh man. . . this burger is so delicious. It's one of the best I ever had." Jakus said, stuffing his face with a big juicy cheeseburger. "You know, back in my universe, everything is destroyed. I could never get good food like this anymore."

April just rolled her eyes as Jake stared at him with an annoyed expression on his face.

At that moment, the waiter came by and put the bill on the table, before angrily walking away.

"Uh, you guys have money, right?" Jakus asked, looking hopeful at the two teens. "I'm not very liquid right now."

"Can we please focus?" Jake said, sounding annoyed. "About my training-"

"Of course." Jakus said, stuffing his face with french fries. "You gonna eat that?"

Jakus then grabbed Jake's burger and began to eat it without another warning. "Go ahead, I'm listening." He said.

"About my training. . . I expect that you could show me the ropes?" Jake asked. "You're older and more experienced. Do you have any advice on how to better use my powers?"

"Okay, well for starters, maybe invest in some conductive armor or something." Jakus said. "Or maybe just some conductive gauntlets. I don't know."

"*You* don't even wear armor." April said.

"Yeah, and that's my mistake." Jakus said.

"Anything else?" Jake asked.

"Nope, that was about everything." Jakus shrugged, as he continued to munch on fries.

"I can already tell you're gonna be a bad teacher." April said with a sigh.

"Alright, so is the lair still in the same location?" Jakus asked.

"Uh. . . yes?" April said, sounding confused.

"Alright, then let's go." Jakus said. "I don't want to wait any longer than I have to."

"Says the one who wanted to make a pit stop at a diner." April scoffed.

"Hey, a man's gotta eat." Jakus said.

. . . .

After paying for their meal, the three of them arrived at the location of the turtles' lair to see Donnie and ask him about how to get Jakus home.

"Alright, here we go!" Jakus said as jumped down the manhole, followed by Jake and April coming down the ladder.

"Gross. . . I haven't missed this smell." Jakus said.

"At the turtles alive in your universe still?" April asked. "Just curious."

"Yeah, they are." Jakus said. "But they're not really what you'd expect."

"What do you mean?" Jake asked.

"Well, Raph is is big guy who hunts down other wasteland mutants, Donnie is a robot, Mikey is a weird monk-looking thing, and Leo. . ." Jakus stopped dead in his tracks when he thought of his universe's Leo. "He's still missing. We don't know what happened to him."

"Oh. . . I see." April said.

"Alright, here we are." Jake said.

The three of them then went into the lair as the turtles were all hanging out in their living room. Mars and Makayla were also there as well.

"Uh, hey guys." Jake said. "We're back."

Makayla suddenly smiled as she ran up to her brother and gave him a hug. "Bro! Did you have fun last night?" She asked. "But not *too much* fun, hopefully?"
