Curse of the Necromancer

~•☽︎༒︎☾︎•~

      The guys quickly arrived home and quietly entered the lair without suspecting anything. They went into the kitchen.       “Leo, did you notice anything strange?” — pouring water for himself, said Raf. Leo looked up and looked up from his thoughts. But then the leader is in one position, remembering what happened.       “I noticed…” — his voice was empty and glassy, ​​piercing the wall in front of Raf. — “Venus eyes are blacker than tar…” — the leader clapped his eyes. Raph shook his head.       “You know, Lara and Oliver have a different color too.” — put his hands on the table and frowned. — “She has yellow-red and frightening, and his purple, like…” — bit his lip and looked up. — “How… I don’t even know…”       “Lara, okay, there is yellow eye color in the world, but purple?” — Leo chuckled, looking at his brother, and the same turned to him, frowning.       “I’m serious! His eyes were purple!”       “Come on, okay. I believe, I believe. Don’t just shout, or right now everyone will know that we are not in beds.” — the leader shouted and the rebel bit his tongue a little.       “But the most interesting thing,” Leo propped his head, averting his gaze to the side, which made his brother fully pay attention to himself. — “Their eyes changed color only in the light of the moon.”       “Fuck… You’re Don #2.”       “Oh, Raf, shut up.” — the katana master waved him off and thought further.       “But why suddenly we can’t communicate with them anymore? Even Splinter doesn’t say anything…” — the rebel finally took a glass of water and wanted to drink.       “Also, Ven told me we saw each other a year ago.” Leo frowned, propping his head up.       “What nonsense? How so?”       “I don’t really believe in it myself.” — the leader sighed. “You know what else? Lara was your height.” — The leader lowered his eyes and pulled aside. Raf, hearing that the craftswoman kusarigam with his height, choked and spat out the water back with laughter, clearing his throat.       “Leo. This is my first time saying this, but great joke!” — Raf tapped lightly on his chest. — “But it would be better if you said it when I did not start drinking water.” — the rebel clenched his fists, looking the leader in the eyes angrily. But he — zero attention.       “Actually, I’m serious.”       “You’re kidding me. Like Lara, so small,” — showed her approximate growth on himself. — “Could be my height.” — put his hand on the top of his head Raf with an amazed face.       “I’m seriously telling you. When I was about to leave, or rather did not want to …” — the leader lowered his head, scratching the back of his head, which made his brother sneer insidiously. — “LARA put her hand on my shoulder, LARA, NOT OLIVER, BUT LARA put her hand on my shoulder. I turned and she was your height. Well, a little lower. Oliver was standing on the balcony. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?” — the leader stared at him, spreading strained arms to the sides. It seemed as if he was holding an invisible ball filled with water, and was about to throw it at Raf for disbelief.       The rebel looked into his eyes and on his face it was clearly read: “And the boy, it seems, got high…”. Taking a deep breath, he sat down opposite Leo and rested his head.       “And how to explain this? That their eyes change color and, as you say, also their height.” — with notes of incredulity said the master sai.       “You still don’t believe…” — the leader frowned and puffed out his cheeks. Raph laughed at his sight.       “Yes. I don’t believe it. Well, how can such a small one become sharply with my height?” — the owner of the red bandana could hardly restrain himself from laughing. “Or have you still not recovered from the jungle? Or have you developed schizophrenia? Or have you…” Raf scoffed at Leo, but he felt the tension in the air emanating from Leo.       “Necessarily.” — the leader snapped back, not listening to what his brother wanted to say, and then the rebel was sharply agitated.       “I don’t understand… You like Ven, don’t you?” — notes of jealousy and rage were distinctly audible in his voice. The leader stared at him in stupor, embarrassment and dismay at the same time. — “Or have you already switched to Lara?!” — Leo at that moment was taken aback from by the piercing gaze of his brother’s brown-yellow eyes.       “You… you… what are you doing?”       “Me?! Absolutely nothing!” — he was furious more. — “Why did you start talking more about Lara?! Huh?!” — banged on the table with his palm. This crackling echoed throughout the room.       “Yes, I just said I remembered.” — Leo jumped up and almost ran into Raf’s sai. — “I have nothing against, since she is so dear to you…”       “I don’t understand… And, like, if she is not dear to me, then you have something on her?!” — walked around the table to Leo Raf, but the older brother also went in a circle.       “Why are you so turned on? I have nothing for her! I like Ven!”       “Then so that I no longer hear from you about Lara, not a word!” — Raf threw the sai out of anger. Leo dodged and the weapon slammed into the wall.       “But now I know who you like…” — the leader smiled maliciously, which infuriated the rebel even more, but also embarrassed at the same time (!!!)       “So you on purpose, uncouth moron!” — Rafael burst into color and puffed already from anger. — “Come here, you spineless goat!!!” — leaned on the table and wanted to catch Leo by the belt, but he walked away and showed him his tongue. Or rather, he decided to return to childhood and tease Raf. He didn’t even care, as they call him, just to tease his brother, the only thing that worried him now. That looked so funny from the outside.       “Oh, look! How I was able to embarrass our steel Raph!” — the rebel’s eyebrow twitched nervously. He grumbled and saying: 'Oh, you… Come here, you shit! ', Walked around the table, behind a laughing Leo. — “He blushed! Mikey, get out of bed and get the camera!” — Using his hands like a microphone, Leo hissed into the corridor.       “That’s it,” — while the leader was distracted by his hissing, the rebel was already behind and crumpled up his “little” fists. — “Dig your own grave, asshole!” — Raf grabbed the leader by the shoulder and swung at the katana master, and then a stern voice rang out.       “Now,” the light turned on and Hamato Yoshi stood next to the guys. They froze with blank stares, staring into each other’s eyes, unnatural postures and comic faces. Raf in a pose — 'I’ll hit your face right now! ' — with a fist hovering in the air, barely touching Leo’s nose. And the leader himself with a twisted face — 'Ah! Just not on the nose! ' and with his hands hanging in the air, not counting that he himself bent a little back, onslaught of Raf. — “What’s going on here?!” — the voice of the master became even harsher and deeper than usual. The guys stood in a daze and unchanging positions, not knowing at all what to do.       “I’m asking what’s going on here?” Sensei frowned, not taking his eyes off the students. From this second question, a light current went through their bodies and their tongue involuntarily uttered.       “He started first!” — the guys said in one voice and poked each other with their fingers in the chest, suddenly turning their heads to their father. He shook his head and sighed.       “Kindergarten. But I’m worried about something else.” — he gazed at his sons that they, this very second, stood up on command: 'Attention! ' — “Why did you two go to De Milo? It was clearly stated that you cannot communicate. And even if did… Why didn’t YOU take the younger brothers?” — Splinter hit the floor with his cane and the guys looked down guiltily, putting their hands behind the shell.       “Well, they are so…” — Raf began to invent. — “They slept soundly…”       “What did we think, that it is better not to wake them up…” — the leader caught the irony and laughed nervously. The master shook his head.       “This is mean on your part, elders. Did I teach you this? Even if you break it, then at least all together.” — the master said this with disappointment, inciting shame in the guys. — “The younger ones will not be pleased to hear that you went without them. But this is in the background, and now…” — the old man squeezed his cane. — “What did you find out? And although, I heard everything.”       “And how do I understand this is generally a small part of the whole mystery? Right?” — the eldest looked at his father from under his forehead, which made him draw full attention to himself.       “Very small.” — the only thing that sensei said before turning around and knocking the brothers off their feet with his tail. — “Tomorrow you two will not get out of the dojo. But now — sleep fast!”       “Yes, sensei.” — the guys, rubbing their banged heads, went from room to room. They will be punished tomorrow. Or maybe not…

      Another dimension called the “Dead Path”. One single path leading to several different astral dimensions. One has only to think about one of them, the door will open where it is necessary.

      He descends slowly, unhurriedly down. All around the darkness. Black fluffy clouds are everywhere with blue reflections. Touching them with a hand, they scatter, twisting into spirals at the ends, and spread out over the black abyss. It’s beautiful because everything is slow and mesmerizing. Here his feet barely touched the cold uneven floor of the dead, lying one on top of the other, creating a long and wide enough road in the blue cloudy fog. This ghost man walks over them, or rather flies, barely touching the dead with his feet. Bones and cartilage crunch, break from light blows of his legs, after all, they have been here for a long time. The wind is blowing out of nowhere, a light fog, the smell of rot and blood.       From the fog appears a massive tall iron door — the Dimension Gate. He is already walking towards her over crispy fresh corpses and their remains. Here came a strange but loud bang. The doors creaked open, allowing a violet-gray pale light to envelop his translucent body. These were thick clouds again, but thicker than these. An arch or even a tunnel formed from them, as if saying: “Come in! You’re not here first.” He smiled maliciously and walked through the gate…

      Dimension — “Cloudy Void”. This dimension can drive anyone crazy if he stays in it for a long time. There is not a soul here. Even if there is, then no one will ever collide with each other, if all together do not go to the center, and the center is a large cauldron, which is not easy to reach if you are lost in the abyss. It’s so quiet here that you can hear the blood throbbing in your head and pouring through your veins.

      He walks on a flat layered floor. Around him, along the silhouette of his body, darkness, which stretches through space and disappears when he moves. There is no one near and near. And in the distance you can see a large boiling cauldron from which acrid clouds are poured onto the floor. The center of this dimension. The ghost suddenly evaporated, leaving a black cloud in its place, which immediately spread over the gray-violet space.       And he appeared behind the cauldron, next to the tied guy we already know. He was all crippled. The lip is broken, there is a bruise on the forehead, there is a bruise under the eye, there are large bruises on the shoulders and calves, the legs are tied and the hands behind the shell, too, as if they were doused with boiling water, from which they slowly became numb, rubbed from ropes to blood, knees were torn off and there was no protection on them, the floor of the equipment is lost somewhere.       “Finally! I’m back. How, son, are you here? Do you like it?” — he sat down to him and smiled maliciously, grabbing his chin, with a specially sharp long nail on his thumb, pressed on the guy’s lip. Jack hissed, looked at him annoyed with fatigue. “Fuck you, bastard…” — through a slight pain he bit his stepfather’s finger, since he had nothing else to do. I have no strength, my hands are numb, my legs are tied. The man immediately pulled his hand away from him and looked at the bitten finger. His face lit up with a wild animal grin. The red eyes were even brighter than before and lit up with fury. Almost out of control, the man punched the mutant in the jaw.       “You pathetic frog brat! Dare you be rude to me?!” — a ball of dark energy formed in his hand, around which small bright red moths were spinning — Hawk Moths “Dead Head”       “Of course I dare!” — Jakana growled and got up on his knees as far as the ropes on his feet allowed him. — “You are my stepfather…” — Jack said with a certain disdain and hum, and smiled evilly. — “Who deprived me of my parents, sister and brother, made us mutants…” — at these words the guy could not hold back his tears. In his memory, the very memories made their way again, stabbing knives into his heart and soul. “Why? Why?! Why did you do it?! Why!” Jack fought in a rage. — “Then kill me, to hell, too! What’s the use of me?!” — the guy was already almost hysterical, or rather already had. Not only is the situation around him dark, there is no one to talk to, and there is no one at all, but Lara did not think so at all and rejected him, which caused damage to his psyche.       “Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh…” — the man laughed at the top of his lungs and put his hand on the shoulder of the guy with the hematoma. — “Do you want to know the truth and sense of yourself?” — he pressed on Jack’s bruise, from which he yelled. — “The sense in you is this: you can serve me well, because, as a teenager, you know one of the De Milo well.” — smiled slyly and even stroked the guy on the head. Jack, only hearing him last words, bared his teeth, and when he felt his stepfather stroking his head, he wanted to bite him like a wild fox. It infuriated him that such a vile and dishonest person would mock him, want to use him as a pawn, and even dare to stroke him!       “Just touch her… I’ll tear you! With my own hands!!!” Jack was already shaking, as if in convulsions, with rage. By making sudden body movements due to the surge of emotions, he brought himself even more pain. The ropes dug into his hands harder, rubbing even more against his skin.       “Oh,” the elder laughed and waved his hand. — “Don’t tell me here. You are against me, like a beast against a tsunami.” — ghost suddenly appeared right in front of the guy’s face and smiled maliciously, rested against his forehead. — “I have become much stronger in the dark realm, son. Soon even himself — Orimura the Great — will lie at my feet!” — could not resist laughed at the top of his throat, standing up and spreading his arms. Jack looked at him like was a moron, because Jack knows that — Orimura is Lara’s father.       “You really nuts, I see…”       “Shut up!” — barked his stepfather and looked angrily at his son. “You don’t understand anything about necromancy and darkness! You don’t know anything at all about your girlfriend who replaces your sister.” — crossed his arms in displeasure, leaning his back on the cauldron.       “Why don’t I know? Huh?! Tell a secret!” — Jack was getting more and more furious.       “You’ll find out soon enough, little frog.” — Ghost looked at the guy with a malicious smile.       “No…” — Jack said with despair and incredulity, shaking his head. — “No! You couldn’t get it! You couldn’t!”       “Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my boy,” the man laughed maliciously. — “I can do everything! Everything!”       “How?! You are…”       “In fact of the matter!” — the ghost continued to smile. — “I, I can, everything! Now, I will finally kill all De Milo, and after my brother Furuji! And the Yin-Yang clan will be mine! May revenge be done!”       “So you, just for the sake of the clan you go to all this?!” — the guy was surprised. — “And it was all for the sake of the clan?” — Jack was already psyched. He was corroded from the inside by the pain of memories, and the nod of his stepfather’s consent, in general, simply awakened the beast in him. — “Yes, you are generally fucking! Kill for the sake of some clan?! You, fuck, goner human! I hate you!”       “Shut your fucking mouth!” — the man could not resist and gave the guy a sickly slap in the face. The abused guy was puffing with anger and despair. — “Not only for the sake of the clan, bastard…” — the ghost made a long pause, which forced Jack to crank out all possible options in his head, for what else? — “All the same, I will erase your memory and you will forget that you were here, at the same time our conversation.” — fright froze on Jakana’s face from these words. — “And then you will blab it all.” — now there was a sweet smile on the ghost’s face.       “No! Don’t you dare!”       “Shut up, baby sucker. It doesn’t hurt.” — put his hand forward. There was dark energy on the pads of his fingers. On his face was a snide mad grimace.       “No no!” — Jack twitched with horror on his face and dodged back. — “No!” — he was not afraid of his stepfather’s face, he was more afraid that he would forget that he was here and would not be able to tell this to Lara and others, would not be able to warn about something, but would forget everything. — “Why then did you bring me here at all, you evil-fucking scum?!”       “Well, you looked so pitiful after your confession of Larota…” — the man paused and shrugged. — “Therefore, I decided to talk to you a little. And now it’s time for you to go home…” — Abruptly leaned his hand with dark energy on the guy’s forehead.       “No! No…” — the last thing Jack could say. His face turned pale, his eyes were just glassy and did not express any emotions, his mouth was involuntarily opened, there was a strange feeling in his head, as if his head and memories had been opened, like canned food, and they took out the most delicious and important thing and put the wrong thing there. , replaced with another product and closed again. It has darkened in the eyes, it is carried away by both mind and body. His body dissolved into thin air and was transported to the real dimension from which he came. On the cloudy floor, covered with acrid clouds, the ropes tied it down fell, immediately disappearing under a layer of clouds.       “Now all that remains is to wait, albeit not for long, but wait.” — This ghost-psycho rubbed his palms on each other, chuckling. His eyes flashed red and this bright flash spread throughout the dark space.

      ~Our dimension~

      Early morning. Dawn. The sun slowly rises into the sky, enveloping the forest in a veil of bright green colors, sparkling. Transparent, in places turquoise water in the river, shone like a diamond and seethed.       “Oh my Go-o-o-o-od.” — stretched out, as if from a hangover guy and put his hands on his head. — “What happened? And how did I get here on the river?” — Jack somehow opening his eyes and squinting from the rays of the sun penetrating through the dense foliage of the tree under which he lay, examined the shore. — “Exactly! I told Lara everything and she ran away. I don’t remember further.” — the guy got his sight and wanted to get up, but he was suddenly pierced with pain all over his body. And only now he noticed that he was covered with bruises. — “Stop! And what happened after? I was so beaten?” — the guy asked himself questions out loud. — “Probably drink and got into a fight…” — chuckled at a joke on himself. — “But no. I don’t drink more, after that incident, and it looks more like from the ropes…” — the guy patted his eyes, looking at his wrists and shins. And when he saw that he was still without half of the equipment, so in general his eyes became like the wheels of a car. — “Damn it! Not only do I don’t remember nichrome, beaten, rubbed from the ropes, and even I naked!” — stood up, leaning on a tree. And he no longer doubted that he was drinking. — “Maybe I really drank a bottle? No, then I would remember half…” — the guy frowned and hobbled to the shallow water on this river, where it is convenient for him in this state to go to the other side of the house. — “Or maybe like that, Lara…?” — Jack was horrified by his own thoughts and shook his head. — “No. She couldn’t. She ran away. Hmm… Then what?” — immersed in his thoughts in hearing, the guy did not notice how he came to shallow water. Taking a blank look at this place, he went into the water along the river. The water pinched the wounds on the legs and washed them, it was cold, the stones along the bottom along which Jack had to walk painfully rested on his feet, from which he either jumped, quickly shifting his legs to another place, then hissed with a petrified face.       Crossing to the other side, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to his tree house. Walking through the forest, everyone tried to remember what happened to him. He is not like him to believe that he was beaten, and even he does not remember who. This just provoked the guy and caught up with a not very pleasant fantasy. A tree house appeared.       “Finally”. — Jack smiled and went up the steps, opened the door. The house is pretty cozy. He crawled to bed, grabbing a first-aid kit and sat down with relief on the edge, starting to treat the wounds. After, he plopped down on the bed with his arms outstretched, and he was immediately carried away to sleep.

In the town

      Towards noon, the whole sky was covered with dark clouds. Thunder roared, there was a thunderstorm. A powerful blow that the windows in the houses knocked slightly. In the sewers of the guys, the electricity is already a little stuck. And there was a crash throughout the room.       “Oh my God! What is this?!” — Mike jumped up and a bowl of popcorn in his lap flew up and almost all the goodies crumbled on the sofa and the floor.       “Mikey! What are you doing, you idiot! You spilled everything sacred on the floor!” — Raf, who was sitting next to him, gave him a slap on the head, as everything fell on his feet. — “Thunder was scared, coward!” — the rebel laughed maliciously, looking at the younger.       “I was not afraid of anything!” — the joker frowned. — “It was just loud…”       “Well, well! Loud! Admit that you were scared, little one!” — Rafael smiled smugly, crossing his arms.       “Loud and sharp!” Mike put his forehead on Raf’s. Which was very risky, and Mike knew perfectly well what he would get. But his brother’s first reaction surprised him.       “Come on? How then should understand your jump and sprinkled popcorn?” — the older brother began to press his forehead into the forehead and at the same time looking into the eyes. Mikey began to rest, too, and drill his brother’s eyes.       “And this…”       “Kindergarten!” — took Leo by the heads and pushed them away from each other. — “You went completely crazy.” — the leader laughed, looking from the rebel to the younger.       “Where are you from here at all?” — the rebel shoved the leader in the face and frowned. — “There is nothing more to do?”       “Yes. Nothing.” — glanced maliciously at the brothers.       “What the fuck?” — Raf hissed and stood up, pushing Leo in the shoulders. — “Have you completely lost your fear, you moron?!”       “Yes, shut up already! You won’t let me work!” — heard a voice from the laboratory. — “And so there was almost a short circuit and you are still yelling!”       “Oh, look, our Einstein raised his voice!” — Raf plopped down on the sofa, snorting with displeasure.       “Wow, our Raf finally got a brain and he realized that I am Einstein!” Don laughed.       “Already you… I’ll kill you right now!” — stretching his fists, the rebel went to the laboratory. But he was immediately stopped by Sensei.       “Raphael! Take it easy.” — the guy had no choice but to obey.       “What an obedient boy…” — Mike poked him, for which he snapped it off.       “Even a word and you will fly further than you see!” — squeezed Raf Jr. by the head from behind to strangle. Mikey waved his hands and twitched.       “Something’s alarming,” Sensei frowns and looks at the ceiling. — “Something will happen…”       “And, as we understand, it concerns girls?” — puffed out his cheeks when Raf loosened his grip.       “And not only”. — the teacher looked at the sons. — “But something is happening now… Thunder is not reason.”       “How can there be thunder for a reason? It’s a common natural phenomenon.” — Donnie came out all soiled in engine oil. — “Though so strong.” — wipes his hands on a large rag. — “It is quite possible with…”       “Just don’t need these tricky explanations! The brain will explode!” — Raf closed his ears and Don shook his head, sighing.       At that moment, the light went out, a sparkling ball appeared between the sofa and the TV. He himself was white, but the glow around him was light purple. The guys froze in a daze and held their breath. Even Mikey didn’t say a word. Not every time you see ball lightning in your house, but Don had only one question in his head: “What the hell did ball lightning get into the sewer?!”.       This sphere did not move, but hovered in the air, swaying barely noticeably. Mikey wanted to say something and his lips barely trembled, Donnie’s breath caught in a goiter, what he could do to stop the younger one was just hum and slowly, without creating air fluctuations, shake his head. And he was glad that it worked, the younger changed his mind to speak, as the middle brother knows more about this “luminous ball”. Leo stood like a statue, and did not take his eyes off the lightning, like the others. His breathing was slow and deep.       The ball jerked sharply and in a second was almost at the very nose of Mikey. He shuddered in surprise and watched with stunned eyes what would happen. For Donnie, it was generally amazing from the side of science. His, slightly distraught feelings from what was happening, were all transferred to his eyes, which sparkled from the bright glow of the ball. Raf stood in a complete stupor, a mute realization on his face. Meanwhile, the sphere had already frozen over Leo’s head. He immediately looked up and looked at Donnie, as if to say, 'Hey, dude!!! What should I do?! '. Now he looked like an angel with a halo over his head and no wings. But it didn’t last long, as the sphere appeared sharply in front of Donnie, and he stared at it with curiosity and a kind of scientific frenzy, squinting slightly from the bright light. Now he felt a wild desire to touch him, but his mind tells him: “What are you? I’m already completely lost in my mind, but what’s it? You’ve gone crazy already in your laboratory! He will kill and fry!! “Donnie’s curiosity did not last long, the ball quickly switched to Raf, and on the face of the clever man only expressed: 'For what? Why so quickly? (T_T) '.       The rebel was like a statue. Doesn’t even frown at the bright light. His head was just buzzing with thoughts: “Is it really him? Understood, his eyes are the color of this lightning… So, so sensei, you will not turn away from answers!”. It seemed to him that now Oliver was looking at him and just glaring at him. One could have already said to Raf: “Hello schizophrenia!”, But that was not the case. Hanging in front of Raf for a couple of seconds, the sphere in a split second found itself at the exit from the lair and disappeared into the tunnel.       “A-A-A-A-A!!! SENSATION!!! BALL LIGHTNING IN THE SEWER! THIS IS AWESOME! YES STILL SO CLOSE!!!” Donnie yelled, clutching his head with his still dirty hands, which put oily black prints on his head. — “FANTASTIC!” — the guys flinched in surprise and winced at the screams that echoed in their ears.       “Donnie!” Leo grunted. — “Can you express you emotions in a quieter way?!”       “I’m sorry Leo! It’s just that I’ve seen this for the first time! Ah-ah-ah! I urgently need to write down everything! And it is possible to find out how the lightning was formed!” — the clever man is now just bursting with admiration, he quickly ran away to the laboratory and from there you could only hear how he was fumbling, writing, something was falling, the papers fell to the floor and scattered.       “Why was it impossible to say? And what kind of ball was it?” Mikey raised an eyebrow.       “Didn’t you hear Donnie yelling that it was fireball?” Leo wondered. — “And how did it form, if there seems to be no rain at the top?” — the leader looked at the laboratory, as Donnie fell out of it with a bunch of papers.       “You cannot speak — because you will create air movement, and such lightning is very sensitive and can explode from any vibration.” — Donnie, sorting through the pieces of paper and not taking his eyes off them, said Mikey and he swallowed. — “But how it was formed, I want to know! It’s so cool!”       “His eyes are the color of ball lightning…” — Raf said out loud, not taking his blank gaze from the floor. Donnie stared at him in stupor.       “Raf, purple eyes, as was this lightning does not exist, but perhaps if the lenses are worn or in Japanese anime.” — laughed. And Raf frowned and looked askance at Leo. Apparently the leader is clear what the rebel is about.       “You don’t know what I’m talking about, so bite your tongue.” — Raf muttered and looked at Leo.       “Hmm… What are you talking about?” Mike narrowed his eyes. — “You and Leo… you understand each other…” — the older brothers tensed. It even got Donnie’s attention.       “Hmm… Exactly… Are you hiding something?” — tilted his head to one side, from this the elders hesitated a little and averted their gazes to the sides.       “No…”       “Why are you averting your eyes?” — Mike stood up and looked at the brothers from the side, squinting. Their eyes ran around the room, and the master, who was standing next to the sofa, looked at the elders what they would do: confess or lie.       “Okay.” Leo gasped. — “We were yesterday, or rather this morning, at about 2 o’clock, at the girls'…” — closed his eyes, turning his head away. The younger ones stared at them in surprise, but immediately their faces darkened.       “And you didn’t take us?!”       “Yes, we didn’t take you with them!” — Raf breathed. — “Everyone would have gone, we would have been noticed, especially if you, Mikey, would have been with us, and then Master Orimura would have hanged us! And then… we were almost burned in two…” — the rebel frowned. — “Would you like this?!” The younger ones quieted down a little, Sensei sighed and shook his head.       “But all the same! Even if were hanged, you could have taken us with them…” — the younger pouted resentfully and turned away. Raph rolled his eyes.       “Just don’t make dramas here.”       “Okay. Since YOU didn’t take us,” Don corrected his slightly glasses. — “then tell me what you learned.”       “Heh” — Raf laughed and looked at Sensei. — “It’s too late to say, but… you seem to be right, master, the lightning was not easy, and the thunder too.” — a kind of excitement played in the look of the rebel, and his words put the wise guy into a stupor.       “We found out that their eye color changes in the light of the moon.” — began the leader, putting his hands on the back of the sofa. “And yet, they can get bigger in growth.” Leo frowned and caught Raf’s eye on him.       “I tell you, YOU dreamed that Lara was your height!” — Rafael looked over his shoulder at his older brother. The younger ones were even more shocked. — “And what do you constantly mention about her?”       “I tell you! She was my height! Almost.” — crossed his arms, standing on his own.       “Um… Is Lara as tall as you?” — Mikey turned to the leader with a malicious face. — “So small as tall as you? Are you kidding me!” Laughed, which made Leo look gloomy.       “Well, well, and Raf generally says that Oliver’s eyes were purple. Or rather, the color of this lightning.” Donnie looked at Raph.       “Raf, tell me honestly. Do you watch anime?” — the wise guy made fun of his brother.       “I’m not looking at anything! His eyes were seriously purple!”       “I suppose I saw him looking at you even in the sphere!”       “Or maybe it was! How do you know?!”       “Uha-ha-ah! You have schizophrenia, brother!” — already with all his throat Donnie laughed as he went to the laboratory. — “And what else did you see there? You make some kind of horror out of girls! Oh, I can’t! Come on, I’d better check you for on taking drugs and mental disorders, or even deviations! “- grabbed his stomach, continuing to laugh and Mikey picked him up.       “Leo, tell me more. Venus is a ghost with black hair and white skin?” — laughed putting his hands on his head. The leader frowned.       “I speak seriously!”       “Of course! They probably threw at you what a powder that causes glitches!”       “Well, don’t believe it!” — Leo barked, was darker than a cloud. Raf jumped off the couch and walked furiously to the surface.       “Well, do not believe it! Everything was so! They themselves asked what we saw, and now they laugh like horses!” The rebel growled as he walked up the drain. His voice rang out with a loud echo that already rats scattered.       “This is the first time I’m saying this, but Raf is right.” — the leader turned around and went to the dojo. At that moment, another powerful thunderclap was heard, which made the electricity slightly stuck, the lights flickered. Mikey and Don fell silent, already beginning to doubt themselves.       “Uh-eh!!! RAF! Wait!” — Don ran after him. — “Wait!”       “L… Leo?” — Mikey With a guilty look went to dojo. Splinter shook his head and looked up at the ceiling as his youngest son left for the dojo.       “Eh, what are you raging about? What happened?” — the same purple ball appeared in front of him. Sensei looked at him without looking away. The sphere moved towards the exit and flew back to the old man. Hamato Yoshi frowned and sighed heavily. — “All the same, have to tell them everything?” — the sphere flew to the right, then to the left, making it clear that it was not. The master lowered his head, thinking. — “Are you sure you can handle it?” — the lightning went up and down. — “Then why did you show me to go to the surface? Will something happen to my sons?” — the ball was moving in different directions again. Splinter dawned. “Do they recognize any of you in your 'essences'?” — he said it very quietly, the sphere showed the answer: “Yes”, Quickly flying up and down. — “They urgently need to be returned back!” — Sensei hit the floor with a stick and the ball disappeared. — “Leonardo, Michelangelo!”       Mikey just apologized to the leader and they left the training hall. Hearing the voice of the master shuddered slightly.       “Yes, sensei?”       “Go to the surface and bring the brothers back.” — closed his eyes and sighed excitedly.       “What’s wrong sensei?” — brothers worried and looked at the exit.       “Just get them back here quickly. There is a heavy thunderstorm.”       “Okay… Sensei.” — With a suspicious glance at their father, the guys ran to the surface.

      ~What happened 3 hours before~

      Morning. The last month of summer. The sun had been breaking through the girls' windows for a long time, the birds were singing, the foliage was still rustling from the light wind.       “Mmmmmmmmmmmmm…” — stretched the youngest, smiling. — “Today is a good day! And my mood!” — she laughed in her sonorous voice and jumped out of bed.       “Woke up already?” — went into Talen’s room, smiling. — “Good morning.”       “Kind!” Emily laughed, tossing the blanket up so that it lay on her bed.       “You’re just as carefree.” Tali shook her head, smiling. — “I just dropped in, breakfast is ready.”       “And it was not I who cooked…” — the blue-eyed pouted out her lips resentfully. — “Who?”       “Lara with Ven.”       “Lara with Venus?” Emly’s eyes widened. — “Of course they rarely cook together, but it’s very tasty… I’ll fly right now!” — she ran around the room.       “Come on faster, otherwise we’ll eat everything and won’t leave.” — Talena laughed, closing the door.       The youngest, putting on her outfit, ran down as fast as she could.       “Leave me to eat!!!” — as she promised, she flew into the kitchen, almost dropping her brother’s head into the saucepan, which he wanted to put on the top shelf, at the request of my mother.       “Oh Lord! Kill everyone here, Emoli!” — put her hands on her hips, Lara, looking at her sister. She wore a red apron and wicked eyes. All Emmy had to do was smile sweetly.       “I won’t be like this anymore…”       “It’s really interesting how yours: 'I will no longer…' will last.” -Oliver put down the pan and stood behind the youngest.       “For today, definitely a guarantee.” — looked at her brother over her shoulder, smiling.       “How long will it last today…” Ven grinned, arranging the plates of breakfast. Emly screamed as soon as she smelled her favorite soup.       “Hurray! Tomato soup today! My favorite!” — she clapped her hands and jumped, but then she thought — “Lara, you don’t like tomato soup…”       “So, I’m already full.” — the rebel shrugged. — “While I was cooking with Ven, I ate sandwiches.”       “Oh, okay then. At least you won’t be hungry.” — smiled at all 32 youngest.       “All to the table!” Ven said, using her hands like a microphone.       “Hooray!” — the youngest was the first to sit in its place, and after all the rest.       “Lara… Well, at least sit with us!” — mother Looked at the already about to leave, the girl. She sighed resignedly.       “The escape plan failed,” — she went to the table and sat down in her place. Everyone, hearing her words, laughed.       “Well, it’s just not right, everyone is having breakfast, but you want to leave,” her father patted her lightly on the shoulder. The girl rested her head.       “Yes, I know, I know…”       “How delicious…” Emly ate, smacking her lips. — “Yet!” — licked her lips and looked at Lara with hope. — “Can I have more? Tasty, my compliments to the cooks!”       “Give me a plate.” — the rebel grinned, taking the hint. The younger one immediately served and the older one poured another and set the younger one.       “So fast?” — Oliver was amazed as he looked at the younger one, who was already eating the second portion.       “Not fast, but delicious! Yum yum yum!”       “Look, you …” — thought Talena. — “Vacuum cleaner for soup” — laughed. Emly looked at her in bewilderment with her mouth full.       “Fupofos?”       “Well, I won’t tell you that you are a vacuum cleaner. After all, it removes dust. And you are already eating up the second plate with such speed!”       “A-a-a…” — the youngest smiled and continued to eat. After the meal, everyone went about their business, the youngest went to the toilet, since the only one did not take a shower today.       Only after undressing and looking in the mirror, admiring herself, Emoli was distracted for a couple of seconds to turn on the tap. Looking again in the mirror, she froze…       “D… D…” — from fear, her larynx went numb. — “D-Uncle?” — her voice trembled and all she shook, looking in the mirror and seeing that man. (That tortured Jack.)       “Yes…” — there was a whisper, which echoed in her ears and terrified even more. She did not take her eyes off his red eyes.       “Don’t…” — her hands shook and she was ready for anything, if only now it was just hallucinations, or even better, what she was praying for now, even if it was a dream. But, hands with long nails were laid on her shoulders. From this she screamed, but her mouth was closed.       Everyone, hearing the cry, jumped up.       “AMOLY!!!” — Oliver was the first to come running, because he was the closest and, breaking down the door, because it was closed from the inside, he saw a bloody terrible sight that shocked him. The rest followed him. The whole bathroom was covered in blood, Amli’s mask was hanging on the sink and blood was dripping from her braids… The mirror broken on the floor and the splinters were bloody, it was clear that Emly might have been cut with them.       The father, seeing this, froze. Everything froze inside him and it seemed that his pulse even disappeared. Seeing drops of blood falling to the floor from the braids of his youngest daughter’s mask made him furious. The guess who could have done such a horror was completely obvious. The scream of his wife brought him to his senses and he immediately took her in a vice, closing her eyes, but he himself did not take his eyes off what was happening. Although he had very thick skin on his arms, he still felt hot tears and fierce bites from his wife, as if a timer had started in his chest. The countdown has begun.       “No…” — read the bloody inscription of Talen, in the place where the mirror hung. “No…” — it was written in the Japanese sign [死] — “Death”. The hearts of the family froze, and there was a mute horror on their faces.       “What the …” — Lara and Ven ran up when they saw the picture. Silence and shock. Larota’s hands flashed with a scarlet flame and her larynx turned yellow, as if she was about to spew out fire, but Ven immediately extinguished it, resting her wet hands on her neck.       “I will kill him…” — Lara cooled down a little and looked at the bathroom with new horror. The oldest chose to be silent, she was swallowed by fear that it was scary to move, if not for Lara with her “explosiveness”, she would have fainted.       The girls were even more frightened when they saw on the door — “I’m back.”       “Quickly look for her!” — the father growled and breathed heavily with rage, horrified by the situation more and more, and the thought that this freak had kidnapped his daughter and now he sees, hears and feels the suffering of all family members, simply infuriated him!       “Just don’t say that he kidnapped Emoli…” — Talena shook, covering her mouth with her hand, because of the spectacle she really almost fainted and could barely hold on. “No… I don’t want to go there again… I don’t want to…” — she snapped into hysterics. Tears rolled from her eyes.       “I will kill this creature!” — Oliver roared and the sky began to cover with clouds, a powerful blow of lightning and thunder burst out, but pressed his sister to him, stroking her head.       “Search for Amli quickly!” — Dariyasa commanded and a little came to her senses, pulled away from her husband.       “We are with you!” Ven shouted, bared her teeth in shock. “Fast, fast!” — all were on their nerves, quickly ran out of the house, fled to different places. Ven, Lara to the forest, Oliver to the city, Talena and her mother to the side of the highway, Orimura to the other side to the abandoned houses in the city. Now they had no time for jokes…

~In the city now~

      The sky was black, so frightening. A bolt of lightning flashed across him sharply and quickly, thunderous. Raf was angry walking along the roof. Don caught up with him. All out of breath.       “Raf…” — the wise guy spoke deeply. — “You are…”       “What are you…? What do you want?” — the rebel growled, walking with a brisk step further.       “Yes! Stop!” — dragged along, twisting his legs Don, after the rebel. — “Sorry, I was wrong…”       “That’s great. Go with… Stop! Come on?” — the meaning of what his younger brother had said reached him. He stopped and looked at him with such uncertain, mocking eyes.       “Yes… Stop!” — Don almost fell, but Raph caught him and put him on his feet. — “Fu… well, you walk fast…” — at that moment a thunderstorm flashed over their heads, spreading to the floor of the sky And, blinking several times, evaporated. An unexpected heavy thunder followed, the floor trembling slightly. My ears were ringing slightly. — “What a powerful… And the storm is not weak. It will rain right now! "       “Yes… We must go to the den. Hurry up… “- the rebel behind his head, looking into the darkness.       “Um… what did you see there?” — the wise guy looked there, catching his breath. And he stood up in disbelief. — “Raf?”       Red, bright eyes, the faint outline of a man in a kimono, with long hair, looked at Raf now. Male physique. The eyes looked sternly at him. Which pissed me off. Donnie tried to get his brother’s attention by waving his hand in front of his face, but it was useless. The clever man did not see anything that was in the eyes of his brother. Don’s voice was muffled and the rebel did not hear anything. Now those eyes were closing in on him. And the whole silhouette appeared. A long black kimono with a kind of white pattern, spreading at the bottom, long hair, slightly shortened strands in the front, the face is almost invisible, except for those red eyes and a wild smile. Donnie shook his brother.       “Raf! Raf? Where are you looking? There is no one there! Raf!” — but everything was in vain. The ghost abruptly disappeared, leaving behind dust that flew into the eyes of Raf, from which he began to come to his senses.       “Raf!” — Don already pinched his brother on the shoulder. He shuddered and rubbed his eyes.       “And what?”       “Where were you looking? I couldn’t get through for 15 minutes!”       “Yes, so… Thought.” — rub your eyes and looked around. — “Let’s go to the lair let’s go to.”       “Yeah.” — at this moment the thunder rumbled again. And Leo and Mikey appeared on the roof.       “There you are! And we have already covered the whole city!” They frowned and crossed their arms.       “Yes, yes… Let’s go to the den.” — as soon as Raf mumbled, thunder burst out, the rain poured down like a wall.       The guys ran across the roofs to the hatch into the den, but it was not there. As soon as they jumped to the roof, where the view of the city opened up…       “Oh fuck!” — Raf could not resist, seeing how lightning formed out of nowhere and walked in an arc next to his leg. He jumped to a different location, like the others. The arc was long. From the building to the opposite — a skyscraper, and stretched with an octagonal star throughout the city and a spear upwards, growing at a height in the sky like a tree.       “Fuck…” — only Doni could say, numb. — “Lightning… Not natural! What’s that for Nikola Tesla up there?”       “Lightning is coming from that building!” — pointed the finger at the skyscraper on the opposite, he was higher and the discharges were coming from there. But quickly stopped, blinking.       “Let’s go and see what’s there!” — Raf cheered up and shook his hands, jumped.       “Maybe not worth it…” — Mikey shivered and entered his eyes. — “What if they shock us?”       “Yes, in general, do not care!” — Raf ran to that building, jumping onto the roofs.       “Here is a daredevil! Stop!” — everyone rushed after him. Having run up to that building and climbed onto the roof, the guys hid behind a wall in a dark corner and looked at what was happening, from where the lightning was coming. Everyone, especially Leo, had to believe Raf… And no doubt!       Oliver stood at the edge of the roof. He looked just fierce (!!!). He did not notice the guys, as he was busy looking at the city, peering into every meter of the city, looking for someone. Despite the fact that it was pouring like rain from a bucket. From the tension in his hands, veins were visible, which shimmered purple-white from the pulse. Heavy and deep breathing, clenched teeth and canine teeth. The body was more powerful than before. Drops of water flowed down it, electrifying and sparkling, then generally disappearing and evaporating.       Mikey opened his mouth from what he saw, his eyes seemed to fall out right now. Leo smiled nervously and realized that he had “eaten” in front of Raf, although the rebel was no less surprised by what was happening, he sat with mute surprise on his face. Don was in euphoria from the scientific side, at the same time to the real one in shock. But even more surprised when Olive turned his head abruptly, everyone held their breath. His eyes were really purple, and so bright purple that they shone like the lightning that was in the den, and now Donnie “ate”, catching the indignant look of his older brother.       They flew up to Oliver from several sides, purple bright… A sphere like lightning, as many as three. The brothers opened their mouths, their jaws just fell to the floor of the roof, along with their eyes. Oliver looked at them. There was a thin, metallic voice from those electric balls.       “Master, we have searched everything, she is nowhere to be found…” — at that moment a growl was heard, lightning shook — “We will continue to look for her, sir!” — scattered in different directions in a split second. Oliver clenched his fists and growled, his hands sparkling.       “Fast,” Oliver growled, and another fireball electrified in his hand, and so did the other. — “look for Amli!” — tossed them into air one by one. The guys went nuts even more, but Mikey clicked.       “Amoli kidnapped?!” — he cried involuntarily and jumped up, Leo immediately closed his mouth and all the guys in one voice, with annoyance:       “Mikey!”       Oliver shuddered and turned to them. Fright was visible on his face, but it immediately disappeared and was replaced by indifference. But what was in his head, you can’t even call it panic, it says little: “HOLLY SHIT! Heck! What should I do??? To deprive them of their memory? Or… Or… Damn!!! What to do? A-a-a-a-a-a!!! Heck! Heck! Heck! I can’t leave… It will be even worse… Oh, I don’t care! Now more important than Amoli!” His sclera (whites) of his eyes were black, his iris burned purple, veins came out in his temples, pulsing. The guys froze and only Mikey was on pins and needles. Now he didn’t care what happened to Oliver, now it is more important to find out what happened to his love.       Oliver turned back and looked at the city again.       “You’d better leave.” — his voice was more bass than before.       “Say what about Amoli!” — Mike stepped forward, which surprised even Raf. Oliver looked over his shoulder. The brothers began to hiss at the younger.       “What are you petty? Are you completely crazy?”       “Come on, what’s there…” — Oliver cooled down a little and his veins went down, his eyes became brown, he became himself. He was cute with a smile, but it was more like a nervous smile of an imp, turned to the guys. Drops hit him on the shoulders and head, he was now all wet, his equipment too.       “What’s up with Amoli…” Mike stood in his own tone, frowning. Oliver began to approach him, everyone took out weapons and put them on him, suddenly he thought of something. He stopped a meter away from them. Again a powerful clap of thunder and a thunderstorm lit up everything around with light. His eyes flashed purple again, but as the glint of the lightning strike stopped, they turned dark brown again. It looks very creepy.       “Is it important for you to know?” — green-bandana looked at Mikey.       “Yes! Important!”       “Calm down.” — Oliver darkened. — “Raf’s character doesn’t suit you.” — With a displeased snort, he turned his head away. — “Everything is fine with her… Perhaps. And anyway, why the hell are you bothering your noses? It was clearly said that you shouldn’t communicate with us!” — Oliver himself now reminded the boys of Master Orimur himself from their last meeting.       “make us leave and not communicate!” — made Raf, spinning the sai. Oliver looked at him and laughed. His laughter grew louder and louder. Raf looked at him with some disgust, he did not understand the reason for the laughter of the girls' brother.       “Do you seriously think I’ll take this challenge?” — there was a lot of arrogance in his voice, which even surprised, but also bit Raf on the quick. — “Do you think you are stronger? No! Even you Mikey…” — looked at the blue-eyed. — “Then it was on purpose, of course I knew what would fly in me, but threw the sword into the wall, or I would have killed you.” — there was confidence in his words, which means he spoke the truth, without looking away, looked strictly into their eyes. This behavior outraged, but had to endure. Raf was especially furious, but put the weapon back.       “Then what happened? What are you… Um… sent these spheres to look for her?” — Mike grimaced, covering his eyes from the heavy rain.       “But this is not your business.” — he closed his eyes and clenched his fists.       “Can you tell us what this means already? Who are you really?” Donny winced. — “Anyway, we discovered you.” — after these words, everyone noticed an evil smile on Oliver’s face.       “Forget it now anyway. Now.”       “What…?” — fright exclaimed on the faces of the turtles. A bolt of lightning struck sharply where Oliver stood, illuminating everything around him with a bright, blinking flash. Everything disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. Oliver stood in a stance, without a sword.       “But you want to fight, so fight.” — opened his eyes, hot not natural color. — “I will not show myself completely in all essence, but the eyes can be left,” — a pause. — “together with speed”. — smiled slyly, the guys took out their weapons, surrounded him and began to attack. The first attacked Don with an overhead attack.       “Are you sure you can win without a weapon?” — was about to hit him on the head, but… Oliver disappeared?!       “Absolutely.” — Oliver appeared from behind the wise guy, which made him draw attention to himself out of the corner of his eye, before hitting him on the head with his hand with a slight voltage of current. It was not strong, but it was enough to turn off and erase the last 10 minutes from memory.       “What did you do?!” — Raf rushed forward at the guy in a rage. He couldn’t see Don lying on the roof unconscious, and Oliver just stood there and looked at it!       “I just shocked everything and erased the last 10 minutes from my memory. This is waiting for you too.” — Sai barely touched Oliver’s skin, as he evaporated, Raf did not even have time to think about where he had gone, as a current went through his body, a loud scream and he turned off.       “You are a monster!” — Mike gritted his teeth and ran at him.       “I do not know what you are hiding there, but this is overstepping all boundaries!” — Leo ran from the other side.       “Sorry, I have to, father’s order.” — at the last moment he disappeared, the guys flew at each other with weapons. Everything is like in slow motion: the rain flies and beats from the roof, their eyes widening at each other, they try to remove their weapons, but it’s too late. Oliver, seeing what would happen if they were not stopped, grabbed Leo by the legs and pulled him back, throwing him into the wall, Mike flew past and fell on the roof, not understanding what had happened. Oliver hovered over Leo like a rock and put his hand to his forehead, the last thing Leo saw were those sparkling eyes of Oliver.       “No…” — Mikey squeezed out helplessly as soon as the guy appeared in front of him.       “Amoli will be fine if you don’t go where you don’t need to. Sorry.” — Oliver’s eyes flashed evilly and this is the last thing that Mikey saw. Oliver sighed with a doomed sigh, looked up at the sky, raised his hands up, lightning struck this place and seemed to take him with her. There was a thunderclap and the wind blew. Donny jumped up.       “A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! What? Where are the zippered slippers growing?!” — pressed the pole to her chest and looked around. — “What am I doing on the roof? I have to go home…”       “Ay, head!” — Raf woke up next to him and prayed, covering his face from the raindrops. — “Where are we? What was it?”       “I have the same question…” — Don looked around, wanted to get up, but could not, again crashed onto the roof. — “The body does not obey, it is numb…”       “So… Leo and Mike were with us… Where are they? Leo!” — Raf yelled, — “Mikey, you fat slow ass… Where are you?!” — I heard a groan of pain from behind, Raf at he immediately looked there. Holding his head, leaning against the wall, sat the leader with dull eyes.       “Oh my God, what was it? How my head hurts…”       “The same questions, just like from Budun, damn it!” — Raf growled and rubbed his head. — “Who remembers what?”       “Oooh… Huh, the body is givining… Where is Mike? Mikey!” — the clever man came to his senses and, seeing the younger, lying at the cornice, jumped up. — “Mike!” — the rest of the brothers followed Einstein, ran up to the youngest and began to shake him.       “Yes, mommy, five more minutes.” — the younger purred. — “Pizza come to me, I’ll eat you…”       “He’s just fine…” — everyone shook their heads. And again the thunder, the rain is stronger. The joker’s eyes flew open and he reflexively hugged Leo, who was holding him.       “Holy pizza!!! What is this?!”       “Thunder and storm! Let’s go home!” — in one voice the guys said suggestively. The younger, having detached himself from the leader, looked around.       “And yes… Leo and I has to return you home urgently…”       “So let’s go faster!” — the rebel barked and gave a light kick to the younger that he jumped. Taking their weapons quickly, the guys ran home, not remembering what happened, but Raf wanted to know what kind of figure it was. Was it a hallucination or was it true?
