12 Leo Getting Attacked: Someone Call An Ambulance!

12 Leo getting attacked: Someone call an ambulance!

12 Leo unsheathing his swords: But not for me-

Literally the entire group of alternate turtles: LEO N O-!

12 Leo: LEO Y E S.

《Stress》

Based on my headcanon on how the turtles would react to stress because IM A FUCKING SUCKER FOR THIS KINDA COMFORT COMICS OKAY!!! SUE ME!!!

To recap the stress response headcanon briefly:

Donnie stress stims (scratching his arm, they give him fidget toys so he doesnt hurt himself)

Mikey hides in his shell, away from harm. You know, turtle istincts and all haha

Leo gets nausea and gags a lot (any strong emotion does that really)

Raph has a delayed panic/anxiety spike later on, because he wants to always make sure his brothers are safe first. THEN he'll crumble

https://www.tumblr.com/indieyuugure/711499216424452096/chapter-6-has-come-to-an-amazing-end-maybe-leo I’m glad Leo’s going to be okay! Though what’s his ninpo going to be?

What an excellent question!! I’m so glad you asked because now I get to dump all this new concept art!! :D

Leo’s ninpo plus his updated character design, and Donnie’s ninpo. I based it off their canon elements wind and earth(technically the Japanese character used is “山” or “mountain” but it’s basically the same thing.) Also gave you guys some explanations on things that are canon in the Rise of the Parallel AU, hope you like these!

Tw: eyestrain and slight blood

So I might be crazy and wrote like half a oneshot with 0 writing experience and also made art of it. Enjoy???

《Static rage》

"time stopped as his vision cleared, allowing him to fully realize just how dire the situation at hand truly was. As he slowly pulled himself up, keeping his weight on the glass wall behind him, he looked around.

The purple dragons. Those kids Donnie told them about, the ones that were behind the purple game incident. They always had a vendetta against his purple, weirdo brother, but never had any of them imagined they'd get THIS far. This destructive. This murder happy.

His eyes widened when his brothers entered his vision. Raph was unconcious, with a panicked Mikey by his side, trying to wake him up, while fighting against the pain of his own injuries. And Donnie, his battle shell was damaged, his softshell completely vulnerable as the Purple Dragons were laughing, mocking. Threatening to blast with their new stupid technology, ready to attack again.

Ready to hurt his brothers again.

Something snapped in Leo's mind.

A sudden loud crash echoed in the room, causing all heads to turn to him, as pieces of glass fell on the floor. Leo's fist connected to the shattered area of the wall behind him. Not even registering the pain that was shooting up his arm.

The clarity in his mind now gone, replaced by static, loud rage.

All he could see in that moment...

Was red."

when they stand behind leo-

Future Rise Leo seeing Future 12 Leo and Future 03 Leo. Seeing how his future in an alternate universe or timeline could have been.

He sees Future 03 Leo, who's been blinded and scarred and who's had a falling out with his two of his brothers and the last one has just disappeared into thing air despite his best efforts. How Future 03 Leo seems more bitter and tired than the present 03 Leo who doesn't carry it with him.

He sees Future 12 Leo, who's been mutated twice, with his body large and full of mutagen from a bomb that had ended up killing one of his brothers and who had caused the other two to become separated. How Future 12 Leo carries this guilt and who has the eyes of a man who once was lost in madness. So different from the present 12 Leo whose not experienced it.

Future Rise Leo looks at them, these future variations of himself and then he looks at their present selves, the three who haven't experienced the horrors that they've faced. Who haven't experienced the Krang completely wiping them out, or the Shredder and his army winning the battle for the city. Who in a way are innocent to just how horrific the world can truly be.

And then Future Rise Mikey seeing Ronin Mikey, and Future 03 Mikey and Future 12 Mikey. Seeing how he could have ended up in another timeline or universe.

He sees Future 03 Mikey, who's the leader of a rebellion, his arm taken from him and his innocence and youth snuffed out by the harshness of the world. Who's lost all three of his brothers. How Future 03 Mikey seems much more grim and serious than present 03 Mikey who's more cheerful and carefree.

He sees Ronin Mikey, who's a wanderer and a disgraced ninja. Who's had his entire family slaughtered by their greatest enemies. Who's full of nothing but rage, guilt, despair and an unrelenting wrath fueled need for vengeance. How Ronin Mikey is a complete stranger to the present Mikey's who are recognizable and chipper.

He sees Future 12 Mikey, who's somewhat lucid and small and frail. Who's lived in isolation for several years, waiting for the phantoms of his brothers to come and see him again when a bomb had torn them all apart. How Future 12 Mikey's scarily similar and yet different from the present 12 Mikey who's been surrounded by loved ones.

Future Rise Mikey sees these younger turtles and sees just how bright and innocent they are. Who haven't experienced the twisted cards that life could deal them. Who haven't experienced a family being brutally murdered by the Shredder's clan or a bomb tearing up their world as they know it. These younger turtles who haven't had the most important things in their lives be torn away from them.

These two turtles see these variations of themselves, see how they could have ended up and they can't help but feel bitter. Because even in different times and places, their futures don't seem to get any better.

It makes Future Rise Leo and Future Rise Mikey wonder if this is their destinies. If this was the unavoidable outcome for people like them, doomed to forever fight and suffer and lose everything they hold near and dear.

It's a cruel joke, the way the world has woven their lives.
