"Where exactly is Dessarae gonna be?"I asked Sierra as we traipsed through the dark, creatures of the night at ease. The shores of the city appeared in the distance as we left the tall skyscrapers and streets packed with parked cars behind, golden dunes planted among the wavy sand, the waves lapping against the shore in gentle grace. Our mission was soon to began.
"Dessarae said to meet her in the place of my dream,"she replied, pulling the strap of her sack higher upon her shoulder. "It was the beach."
"The beach?"Leo asked, carrying his own sack."Are you sure? Beaches are symbols of fun and relaxation, not departure."
"I don't know,"Sierra answered."I'm not much for knowing lately." She scanned the horizon for any signs of a six-foot-tall mutant angel. She would've been easy to spot.
"Did we pack for nothing?"Maggie asked."My back is sore."
"Maggie, you didn't even do anything,"Jenny retorted, rolling her eyes.
"Nothing is worth something right now,"Donnie said, pointing."Look."
We all turned, facing the hues of the deep blue sea. A figure stood, her back arched, her head held high, in the way of a proud mother, or loyal king. She turned her head slightly towards us, and beckoned,"Come."
I shared a glance with Leo before we stepped forward. Dessarae gave us each one acknowledge-filled look before opening her delicate lips. "I am truly greatful for your effort on behalf of my world,"she said, giving a smile. "You have no knowledge of my feelings of gratitude towards you."
"We're glad to help,"Leo said respectfully.
"I have assured you that your passage to my world would be covered, nourishments and shelter included, correct?"
"Yes,"
"And I have given you enough knowledge about my world's terrain in advance, correct?"
"Yes,"
"Then we are set to depart,"she said, turning away from us and towards the open sea. She raised both her arms elegantly and stressed the force in her fingers. "What's she doing?"Mikey asked, and we all shushed him, except for his girlfriend, Maggie, who was probably wondering the same thing.
"Close your eyes,heroes,"she said, still facing the water.
I watched everyone, one by one, shut their eyelids. After a second, I joined them, my vision enveloped in even more darkness than before.
~***~
"It is safe to open your eyes now,"Dessarae's voice rang out from the piercing silence. I forced my eyelids to open, blinking a few times before seeing the scene clearly. It was a warm color themed-room, with red floors, orange walls, and wooden furniture arranged tastefully. It was all we could see.
Leo was next to me, gazing at the room in confusion."How are we gonna get out of here?"he wondered aloud.
"I am here, heroes,"Dessarae called, a doorway opening in the wall.
"Guess that's our way,"Raph said, and we entered through the doorway, spilling into a large control room with an extra-large windshield painting the scene outside. At first, I saw a starry landscape with a pitch-black backdrop, but after I blinked a couple of times, I knew we were actually flying among the stars. "Are we in...?"
"Yes, we are in the place that humans call 'space',"Dessarae answered. "We will arrive in a few minutes."
"Minutes?"Donnie said."But it takes months for a rover to reach Mars. Isn't your world in a different galaxy?"
"Yes,"she said."But if I were to arrive at Earth, I must have advanced technology,no?"
"I guess so, but-"
Eight chairs popped up from the floor. "Have a seat,"she said, gesturing towards the chairs.
I tentatively edged into my seat, and a seatbelt flew across me to click into the buckle on the other side. Everyone else was adjusting into their seats as well, with a few comments to add.
"Hold on tight, heroes,"Dessarae said, and waved her arms, vanishing.
"Tight?"Mikey asked.
Before anyone could respond, everything went into super fast-motion. I felt every cell and being of me being stretched like taffy, into little bits and pieces of atoms. Everything gained a slanted appearance, making me feel as if I was running through the starry scene before me. I was sinking into the back of my seat, unable to move a single muscle.
I tried closing my eyes, but to no avail.
Please be over soon.
I'm so glad you're back writing this, Dis! It's wonderfully done, the emotion is so powerful between the characters. The sisterly bond is particularly great, and the shocker...wow! That's so...shocking!
I was tired of walking through endless, institutionalized hallways. My eyes were beginning to strain, and I was fearing an eye shrinkage on my part.
I lowered my chin, staring at the necklace Mikey gave me. It was the best thing in the world, so far. Our travels were becoming an eyesore.
" I really hope they aren't in trouble," Jenny said.
"We're here." I literally toppled into Jenny, who gave me a deathly glare before unsheathing her weapons along with the rest of us. Brandon and Jamie stood in front of us, but they didn't seem hostile. In fact, their weapons weren't even out. Then, I realized that behind them, Donnie and Sierra smiled at us happily.
" What?" Ella blinked, and her eyes locked with Sierra's. A connection seemed to pass through them, and Ella sighed, the tension in her shoulders releasing.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Sierra's smile had vanished, and was replaced by a forlorn look. Her arms hung loosely at her sides, which shocked me. Sierra was always firm and steady, never losing control.
Ella stared at the floor as we looked at her, wondering what was going on. Only Jenny seemed unfazed. She stepped forward, and said,"Would it have made a difference?"
"Yes,"Sierra said softly. Donnie furrowed his brows, at a loss for words, sympathy flooding his eyes. Then, with a sudden release, she smiled gently, a small turn of the corners of her lips. "It's okay though. I'll get over it."
"I'm sorry to break up the...whatever...but what are you guys talking about?" I said. Mikey nodded his approval.
"Sierra was born a human,"Ella said. She was looking at me. "You were too small to remember, Maggie. We found her in mutagen, me and Jenny."
Leo raised his eyebrows, and shared a glance with Raph.
"Well, if this makes you feel any better, I didn't get the newsflash until now,too,"I reassured her. Sierra smiled.
Brandon and Jamie offered to help us find our way back to Dessarae. She'd help take us back to Earth.
But Leo shook his head. "The fight's not over yet."
I think so, too, macthepig! Either that or most fans that write out their obsession are girls, and most other fans are boys! I dunno, but it seems to be more girls! Oh, dear, when you first said you weren't on 'cause of a coma it made me sad! You're silly, you made me really worried for a moment! Your bird went in the printer? Did you get lots of good pics? Hehe, that's funny! By the way, since you've been gone, I posted my own fanfic! It's called 'Starry-Eyed', and you can check it out if you like...you know...if you want
Aww thanks for your support guys! Though by the way people write on this board i'm thinking that most turtle fans are girls.....Sorry I haven't been on I have been in a coma. Not really I had a school project to do. Samething. My bird Piney (Short for pineapple) for some rreason went INSIDE the printer. I am not kiddding.
That's a good idea, tmnt9568, changing it to 1735! Not that 1995 wasn't a good idea before, but pushing the time back enables you to explore more history! Yay, universe!
Cariomairo, aw, thanks! I'll definitely check out your new fanfic; I love X-men, and I've never read anything but TMNT fanfics, so it'll be fun!
tmnt9568: The universe? Ha! That's hilarious! And that does sound like a great idea, a grand idea! I hope that you can publish it, I'd definitely want to read it!
@AT:
Awwww, it's okay! as long as your writing is the best you can make it, you'll be awesome! By the way, I'm starting an X-men: Evolution fanfic, and I'm just about to post it on the boards there! I would love it if you could check it out someday
AT;
Oh, you're not old. I relized that, too. 1995 isn't that long ago. I should really consider changing the date... Maybe closer to the 17's? Eh, maybe I'll sleep it off and the idea will hit me.
Me:*In bed*
*a paper tied to a brick falls on my face*
Me: OWWWWWW! Oh, hey look! A note! *Reads*
Note: Do it in 1735!!!
Me: Thank you, universe! *Hands in the air*
TMNT9568 OUT!!
Very true, Kunoichi15, having the encouragement of our 'sisters' has done wonders for us; they've helped us become comfortable enough to actually post our works! I'll do that, too, give a book dedication to all of you!
tmnt9568, wow, you think 1995 is a very long time ago? Gosh, I feel old...But I do like that story idea, I'd say keep going! If it gets published, I'll definitely look for it!
I see we are talking about books. I'm currently writing one. It's called "1995: Mystery Unsolved". It's about a crime that was commited a long time ago(1995), and one day, it mysteriously re-surfaces and it finally get's an answer that was unsolved oh so many years ago. Does it sound cool? I really hope I'm not wasting my time on that book if it's no good. Don't you hate that? You put all your effort in something, and it turns out to be really bad? ANYWHO, all your stories sound really cool!
TMNT9568 OUT!!
That's a really awesome idea AT! I like it a lot! I hope that someday, maybe we can all publish our own books. I'd give a shoutout to everyone that has encouraged me in writing. Withou you all, I don't think that I'd even HAVE two newer fan fics! I probably would've just stopped after the first one... Anyways, it would take a really stubborn, in a good way, author to write a book and recieve bad comments.
I don't know how I got on that topic... But oh well!
Oh! I just had a great idea for my book!! Ok, I know I want to write about two friends, so I was thinking the one friend struggles with purpose in life, then one day she sees a guy getting beat up on the street and decides to help. Sure, she will probably get a little hurt, but she knows what she wants to do! But her friend doesn't approve, so that creates the emotional friction I wanted! Wow, I'm so happy I thought of something!!! I know, I know, it sounds a lot like something that should belong in a TMNT fanfic, but hey, that's where I got my start! I know I'm rambling, but I thought I'd just share my excitement with you guys! You're all my closest friends, and sharing with friends is something that makes me really happy
Noodles, that's a great idea!!!! I think I'll change it to two friends instead, that way I can play on two family stories instead of just one! Thank you very much, I love writng about how Catherine and Elizabeth interact with each other, and now you've given me a great start for my story! Now for the main action...Hmm...I like writing about emotions, like you said, so maybe I'll write something about a physical problem or a mental disorder...So many new ideas, so little time!
Chips, YOU HAVE 180 PAGES OF YOUR FANFIC???? AND YOU'RE NOT DONE???? WOW! I only have 133 so far on mine and 63,097 words, and I'm almost done! You rock!! You are definitely a gifted writer, go for it! I always thought I'd do something in engineering, but then as I got older it appealed to me less and less. Now, I'm really into writing, and I LOVE it. Why not do something you like, that's what I say! Maybe I'll writ scripts for movies, I love movies and writing, so now I can combine them!
Mister Man, writing is awesome, write as much as you can! Hehe, you could even write ten at once you're so talented! I know I couldn't, I need to focus on one thing at a time or else my brain goes wonky! That goes for reading books, too; sometimes people can read up to three different books at once, but not me! Fanfics are different, though, so I don't know...Now my brain is wonky anyways!
@ AT
Hm...how about anything to do with two sisters?
Based on your fanfic, you're really good with Catherine and Lizzy, and how they interact and feel about each other.
'The Aftermath'...Oooh, that gave me chills reading it!! I like it! Yay, ideas! That's a very good one, Kunoichi15, and I might just tweak it a bit! I like writing about people and plausible events, so thank you for the inspiration! Now when I write my book, I'll think about all of you and the books you might be writing
My parents do the same thing too! They think that I should try to write a 'real' book. I have an idea, I really like it! If it ever gets published, it's gonna be called THE AFTERMATH... (Oh... MYSTERIOIUS!) I have an idea for you to AT! Maybe you could write a book on a herd of ghost horses. They could terrorize villages and what not! I just made it sound boring, but I think that it'd be pretty easy to work with!
Macthepig, you're writing a book?? That's epic awesomeness! I urge you in that direction, writing books is a great endeavor and if I can find it I will definitely read it! You have a talent!
I love writing my fanfic, but my parents seem...disappointed. They say I'm a good writer, and that I should use my talents for a better purpose. I disagree, I think giving something back to you all IS worthy endeavor, but yet they're right. I don't know, I feel like I let them down. That's why I'm also going to be starting a book soon, maybe this fall. I have no idea what about, so I'm open to ideas from my dear friends! If I do write a book, I will definitely dedicate all of my friends on here. You deserve it!
