{Kai comes back hours later. He carries a messenger bag- that he actually snatched from his room before leaving- that rustles with paper and some other sounds. Huginn and Muninn are on his shoulders until he eventually shoos them off to take the bag off and lets it drop in front of Asha. There are some books, scrolls, and what appear to be some newer-ish (at least compared to everything else) paper notes. You can see some Greek words peeking out on the notes.}

I need your help...

{Kai's tail swishes slightly as he grabs the scrolls.}

I can't read these.

But Draxum had some notes with them.

Asha plays with the kids. She looks up and the group comes in. She chirps to Hugin and Munin, giving both a self-made cracker.

"Sure. What should I read for you?"

[subject-5]

{Huginn and Muninn take the crackers, giving their thanks before perching on Asha's shoulders. Kai sits down, laying the scrolls down before grabbing Draxum's notes, looking over them again.}

Το Lou Jitsu είναι απλώς ένα καλλιτεχνικό όνομα. Μετά από πολύ χρόνο και έρευνα, ανακάλυψα ότι το πραγματικό όνομα του Lou είναι Yoshi Hamato.

Μετά από ακόμη περισσότερο χρόνο, μπόρεσα να ανακαλύψω περισσότερες πληροφορίες για το όνομα "Hamato"

Φαίνεται να είναι μια ισχυρή φυλή νίντζα από την Ιαπωνία. Ή, μάλλον, ήταν, καθώς η φυλή νίντζα έχει πλέον ως επί το πλείστον εξαφανιστεί.

Κατέχουν μια ισχυρή, αρχαία μορφή μυστικιστικής τέχνης.

Παρά το υψηλό επίπεδο μυστικιστικής δύναμης και γνώσης που κατέχω, δεν μπορώ να αξιοποιήσω αυτή τη δύναμη - είναι μοναδική για την ίδια τη φυλή νίντζα.

Εφόσον χρησιμοποίησα το DNA του Lou Jitsu για τις πέντε πιο υποσχόμενες δημιουργίες μου -αν και έχει απομείνει μόνο μία- ίσως τελικά καταφέρουν να αξιοποιήσουν αυτή τη δύναμη.

Ωστόσο, το Υποκείμενο-5 έχει δείξει ασθενέστερες δεξιότητες στις μυστικιστικές τέχνες και δεν το θεωρώ ικανό να χρησιμοποιήσει έναν τόσο ισχυρό αρχαίο μυστικιστή.

Draxum apparently found out more about my human DNA donor, Lou Jitsu.

Apparently, that was only a stage name.

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

Lou Jitsu is just a stage name. After much time and research, I discovered that Lou's real name is Yoshi Hamato.

After even more time, I was able to discover more information about the name "Hamato"

It appears to be a powerful ninja clan from Japan. Or, rather, it was, as the ninja clan is now mostly extinct.

They possess a powerful, ancient form of mystical art.

Despite the high level of mystical power and knowledge I possess, I cannot harness this power - it is unique to the ninja tribe itself.

Since I used Lou Jitsu DNA for my five most promising creations - although there is only one left - maybe they will finally be able to harness this power.

However, Subject-5 has demonstrated weaker skills in the mystic arts, and I do not consider it capable of wielding such a powerful ancient mystic.

Things are about to get long, so the translated version of everything will be its own reblog.

[heart-of-the-family]

Asha nods while listening.

"Okay... but you can read that on your own? Why do you need me?"

She takes one scroll and opens it.

[subject-5]

{The scroll is in Japanese.}

500年以上前、オロク・サキはフット・クランの指導者として君臨していた。クランは繁栄し平和を享受していましたが、圧倒的な暴力で襲いかかってきた敵対勢力によって存亡の危機に立たされます。一族の滅亡を何としても防ごうとしたサキは、星から生まれた悪魔と契約を交わしました。その結果、決して破壊できない神秘の鎧「クロイ・ヨロイ」が作り出され、彼はその力で敵対クランを容易く打ち破ったのです。しかし、やがてその鎧は彼の魂を飲み込み、その精神を蝕んでいきました。やがて自我に目覚めたクロイ・ヨロイは、サキの精神と魂を完全に支配し、人類の抹殺と征服を完遂しようと画策します。こうして「シュレッダー」が誕生したのです。悪魔の影響下で、彼はフット・クランを日本各地でテロや破壊活動を行う組織へと変貌させていきました。

その後、彼の娘であるカライは、その悪魔やフット団の圧政に立ち向かうべく「ハマト・クラン」を組織しました。「シュレッダーを傷つけられる武器は現世には存在しない」とされたため、カライはハマト・クランの秘伝の武術「ハマト忍法」と神秘の力を宿した刃を駆使し、シュレッダーを打ち破りました。二人は「黄昏の領域（トワイライト・レルム）」に封印され、筆舌に尽くしがたい恐怖に苛まれることとなりました。一方、シュレッダーの復活を阻止するため、彼の鎧は世界各地へと分散させられました。

I can read Draxum's notes on my own, but those scrolls aren't from Draxum; he rarely ever wrote outside of Greek, and it only takes one look to tell that those scrolls aren't Greek.

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

Over 500 years ago, Oroku Saki reigned as the leader of the Foot Clan. Although the clan flourished and enjoyed peace, it faced an existential crisis when a hostile force launched an assault of overwhelming violence. Desperate to prevent his clan's annihilation, Saki struck a bargain with a demon born of the stars. This pact created the "Kuroi Yoroi"—a mystical, indestructible suit of armor—which granted him the power to easily crush the rival clan. However, the armor eventually began to devour his soul and corrupt his mind. Upon awakening to its own consciousness, the Kuroi Yoroi seized total control of Saki’s spirit and soul, plotting to conquer the world and eradicate humanity. Thus, "Shredder" was born. Under the demon's influence, he transformed the Foot Clan into an organization that carried out acts of terror and destruction across Japan.

Subsequently, his daughter Karai organized the "Hamato Clan" to stand against the tyranny of that demon and the Foot Clan. Since it was said that no weapon in the mortal realm could harm Shredder, Karai defeated him by wielding the Hamato Clan's secret martial art, "Hamato Ninpo," alongside a blade imbued with mystical power. The two were sealed away in the "Twilight Realm," where they were tormented by indescribable terror. Meanwhile, to prevent Shredder's resurrection, his armor was scattered across the globe.

[heart-of-the-family]

Asha hums and stares at the text. She needs a moment to read it before she translates it out loud.

[subject-5]

{Kai seems to perk up the most at the mention of the Twilight Realm. But others, he stays pretty indifferent on the outside.}

Twilight Realm?

Draxum knew all about that.

{Kai glances to Huginn and Muninn as they talk but chooses not to comment on it.}

I'm more interested in the Hamato name; it's the same one in Draxum's notes.

[heart-of-the-family]

She reads it all over for herself and nods.

"It's possible that he's a descendant of this Hamato clan... The possibilities are high. And somehow it rings a bell for me with this name..."

"Do you got anything else about this to read?"

[subject-5]

These other two scrolls.

{Kai grabs another scroll, glancing over it again before offering it to Asha.}

「ハマト忍法」は、ハマト一族の始祖であるカライが500年前に初めて用いた技です。当時、父であるオロク・サキが「クロイ・ヨロイ」に憑依され「シュレッダー」と化してしまった際、彼女はこの技で自身の能力を高めてシュレッダーを剣で打ち、二人を「トワイライト・レルム（黄昏の領域）」へと追放しました。

「ハマト忍法」は、ハマト一族にのみ伝わる秘術であり、その起源は不明ながらも極めて強大な力――一族の世代を超えて受け継がれる生命力の一種である「ハマト・エッセンス」――を源としています。この忍法を行使する者は、歴代のハマト一族の力を結集した強大な神秘的エネルギーを享受し、それによって様々な超人的能力を発揮することが可能となります。

ハマト一族の者は、「ハマト忍法」によって授けられる基本的な超人的能力に加え、通常はさらなる能力を一つ有しています。しかし、一族の人数が多いために能力が重複することは避けられず、またハマト忍法として発現しうる固有能力の種類も限られていることから、自分だけの唯一無二の能力を持たない者も少なくありません。

この術は、家族と深く心を通わせ、互いに信頼し合うことで解放されます。神秘的な力に触れることがその入り口となりますが、神秘的な力に多く触れるほど「ハマト忍法」の力は受動的に増大していくものの、その強化には限界があります。強力な技を繰り出す際、ハマト忍法は使い手に多大なエネルギーを要求します。

「ハマト忍法」は神秘の力であるため、神秘の力を無効化する能力の影響を受けると抑制され、使用者はその力を強制的に行使できなくなります。

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

"Hamato Ninpo" is a technique first employed 500 years ago by Karai, the founder of the Hamato clan. When her father, Oroku Saki, was possessed by the "Kuroi Yoroi" and transformed into the "Shredder," she used this technique to amplify her abilities and strike him with her sword, banishing them both to the "Twilight Realm."

"Hamato Ninpo" is a secret art passed down solely within the Hamato clan; while its origins remain unknown, it draws upon immense power—specifically "Hamato Essence," a form of vital energy inherited across generations of the clan. Practitioners of this art harness the formidable mystical energy formed by the collective power of past Hamato generations, enabling them to unleash a variety of superhuman abilities.

In addition to the fundamental superhuman abilities bestowed by the "Hamato Ninpo," members of the Hamato clan typically possess one additional ability. However, because the clan is so large, overlapping abilities are inevitable; furthermore, given the limited range of unique powers that can manifest through the Hamato Ninpo, it is not uncommon for individuals to lack a truly one-of-a-kind ability.

This technique is unlocked by forging a deep emotional connection and mutual trust with one's family. While exposure to mystical power serves as the gateway—and such exposure causes the power of "Hamato Ninpo" to grow passively—there is a limit to how much it can be strengthened. Unleashing powerful techniques demands a vast amount of energy from the user.

As "Hamato Ninpo" is a mystical power, it is suppressed when subjected to abilities that nullify mystical powers, forcibly preventing the user from exercising that power.

[heart-of-the-family]

She translates the next scroll for him. Asha pauses and frowns.

Then she gasps.

"Oh, I know why this Hamato Ninpo feels familiar to me! Because Chiisai told me that the Rise boys got that!"

[subject-5]

.....

{Kai stays quiet.}

Those are the guys next lair over, right?

Yeah, they're the same species as the other four subjects.

I got that.

I've seen the very empty files on the other subjects to know what species they were.

[heart-of-the-family]

Asha just nods. She looks between the gargoyles and Kai.

[subject-5]

{Kai's tail swishes slightly, grabbing the notebook he'd been using for research and writing stuff down. His writing is all over the place. Some of it is neat and tidy, while in other spots it drifts and spaces out. His notes also switch between Greek and English. Huginn and Muninn look at each other before adapting back to their rest position on Asha's shoulders.}

[heart-of-the-family]

Asha lets him do his thing, staying quiet. She grabs two crackers to give them to Hugin and Munin.

[subject-5]

{Huginn and Muninn take the crackers.}

Thanks!

Yeah, these are really good!

{Kai continues writing his notes, though he pauses for a moment before continuing.}

What if Draxum is right?

Draxum clearly already translated these scrolls and, with the information on them, decided I wouldn't be able to tap into this "Hamato Ninpo".

And Chiisai has already pointed out that mystics aren't actually that great.

Which is exactly what Draxum's notes already say.

{Kai doesn't look up from writing, and his voice carries that rare, raw, unfiltered, vulnerable tone to it. His walls are down. And his expression shows it too. Even Huginn and Muninn seem surprised by this rare show of vulnerability.}

[heart-of-the-family]

Asha waits and thinks.

"It's like a family heirloom, right? So the family is connected. That means you only can't tap into it because you're not connected with the family..."

[subject-5]

{Kai finished his own notes on what they gathered so far, closing the book for now and grabbing the scroll. He doesn't open it, just looking over the closed scroll in his hand.}

So in the end, Draxum was right....

[heart-of-the-family]

"He's right until you are connected to them..."

[subject-5]

Who says you have to be connected to them?

Yeah, we saw how you made yourself and the others invisible while fighting Draxum.

Yep, and that's not something you can normally do.

{Huginn and Muninn look at Kai while they talk, but they soon look at Asha.}

[heart-of-the-family]

Asha shushes them gently before looking back to Kai.

"Yeah... you just not have the full potential if you don't tap in."

[subject-5]

{Kai thinks for a moment, offering Asha the last scroll before quickly writing something else down in his notes.}

一族の絆による力の強化：「ハマト忍法」は、使い手と一族との絆に深く根ざしています。その力は、使い手自身の能力だけでなく、ハマト一族がその歴史の中で築き上げてきた集団としての力にも由来しています。

超人的な敏捷性：ハマト忍法は使い手に極めて高い敏捷性を与え、通常であれば成し遂げるのが極めて困難な動きを容易に行えるようにします。

超人的な怪力：ハマト忍法の使い手は超人的な怪力を発揮し、自分より何倍も大きな人間や物体を軽々と持ち上げ、運ぶことができる。

超常的な跳躍：ハマト忍法には、使い手に驚くべき高さへの跳躍を軽々と可能にする能力が備わっていることが示されています。

超常的な耐久力：ハマト忍法は、度重なる致命的な打撃を受けても耐え抜くよう、使用者の身体的耐久力を増強します。

武器の変形：ハマト忍法により、使い手はあらゆる物体から超自然的な力で武器を作り出すことができます。また、その武器は使い手に特殊能力をもたらすものでもあります。

先祖召喚：ハマト一族の故人を召喚し、対話する能力を術者にもたらすハマト忍法。

魂の転移：この力により、ハマト一族の者の魂は宿主の体内に宿り、宿主を乗っ取って行動を支配するのではなく、受動的にその能力を増幅させることができます。また、魂と宿主の間には精神的なつながりが形成され、互いに意思疎通を図ることが可能になります。

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

Power Amplified by Clan Bonds: "Hamato Ninpo" is deeply rooted in the bond between the user and the clan. Its power stems not only from the user's own abilities but also from the collective strength the Hamato clan has cultivated throughout its history.

Superhuman Agility: Hamato Ninjutsu grants the user exceptional agility, enabling them to easily execute movements that would otherwise be extremely difficult to achieve.

Supernatural Speed: Practitioners of Hamato Ninpo can achieve extraordinary speeds comparable to those of Shredder.

Superhuman Strength: Practitioners of Hamato Ninpo possess superhuman strength, allowing them to effortlessly lift and carry people or objects many times their own size.

Supernatural Leaping: The Hamato Ninja Arts are shown to grant the user the ability to effortlessly leap to astonishing heights.

Supernatural Durability: Hamato Ninpo enhances the user's physical durability, enabling them to withstand repeated, potentially fatal blows.

Weapon Transformation: Through Hamato Ninpo, the user can create weapons from any object using supernatural power. These weapons also grant the user special abilities.

Ancestor Summoning: A Hamato ninja technique that grants the user the ability to summon and converse with the deceased members of the Hamato clan.

Soul Transference: This power allows the soul of a member of the Hamato clan to inhabit a host's body; rather than taking over the host and controlling their actions, the soul passively amplifies the host's abilities. Additionally, a mental connection is established between the soul and the host, enabling them to communicate with one another.

500年以上前、オロク・サキはフット・クランの指導者として君臨していた。クランは繁栄し平和を享受していましたが、圧倒的な暴力で襲いかかってきた敵対勢力によって存亡の危機に立たされます。一族の滅亡を何としても防ごうとしたサキは、星から生まれた悪魔と契約を交わしました。その結果、決して破壊できない神秘の鎧「クロイ・ヨロイ」が作り出され、彼はその力で敵対クランを容易く打ち破ったのです。しかし、やがてその鎧は彼の魂を飲み込み、その精神を蝕んでいきました。やがて自我に目覚めたクロイ・ヨロイは、サキの精神と魂を完全に支配し、人類の抹殺と征服を完遂しようと画策します。こうして「シュレッダー」が誕生したのです。悪魔の影響下で、彼はフット・クランを日本各地でテロや破壊活動を行う組織へと変貌させていきました。

その後、彼の娘であるカライは、その悪魔やフット団の圧政に立ち向かうべく「ハマト・クラン」を組織しました。「シュレッダーを傷つけられる武器は現世には存在しない」とされたため、カライはハマト・クランの秘伝の武術「ハマト忍法」と神秘の力を宿した刃を駆使し、シュレッダーを打ち破りました。二人は「黄昏の領域（トワイライト・レルム）」に封印され、筆舌に尽くしがたい恐怖に苛まれることとなりました。一方、シュレッダーの復活を阻止するため、彼の鎧は世界各地へと分散させられました。

I can read Draxum's notes on my own, but those scrolls aren't from Draxum; he rarely ever wrote outside of Greek, and it only takes one look to tell that those scrolls aren't Greek.

Over 500 years ago, Oroku Saki reigned as the leader of the Foot Clan. Although the clan flourished and enjoyed peace, it faced an existential crisis when a hostile force launched an assault of overwhelming violence. Desperate to prevent his clan's annihilation, Saki struck a bargain with a demon born of the stars. This pact created the "Kuroi Yoroi"—a mystical, indestructible suit of armor—which granted him the power to easily crush the rival clan. However, the armor eventually began to devour his soul and corrupt his mind. Upon awakening to its own consciousness, the Kuroi Yoroi seized total control of Saki’s spirit and soul, plotting to conquer the world and eradicate humanity. Thus, "Shredder" was born. Under the demon's influence, he transformed the Foot Clan into an organization that carried out acts of terror and destruction across Japan.

Subsequently, his daughter Karai organized the "Hamato Clan" to stand against the tyranny of that demon and the Foot Clan. Since it was said that no weapon in the mortal realm could harm Shredder, Karai defeated him by wielding the Hamato Clan's secret martial art, "Hamato Ninpo," alongside a blade imbued with mystical power. The two were sealed away in the "Twilight Realm," where they were tormented by indescribable terror. Meanwhile, to prevent Shredder's resurrection, his armor was scattered across the globe.

Just gonna test something....

{Kai comes back hours later. He carries a messenger bag- that he actually snatched from his room before leaving- that rustles with paper and some other sounds. Huginn and Muninn are on his shoulders until he eventually shoos them off to take the bag off and lets it drop in front of Asha. There are some books, scrolls, and what appear to be some newer-ish (at least compared to everything else) paper notes. You can see some Greek words peeking out on the notes.}

I need your help...

{Kai's tail swishes slightly as he grabs the scrolls.}

I can't read these.

But Draxum had some notes with them.

Asha plays with the kids. She looks up and the group comes in. She chirps to Hugin and Munin, giving both a self-made cracker.

"Sure. What should I read for you?"

[subject-5]

{Huginn and Muninn take the crackers, giving their thanks before perching on Asha's shoulders. Kai sits down, laying the scrolls down before grabbing Draxum's notes, looking over them again.}

Το Lou Jitsu είναι απλώς ένα καλλιτεχνικό όνομα. Μετά από πολύ χρόνο και έρευνα, ανακάλυψα ότι το πραγματικό όνομα του Lou είναι Yoshi Hamato.

Μετά από ακόμη περισσότερο χρόνο, μπόρεσα να ανακαλύψω περισσότερες πληροφορίες για το όνομα "Hamato"

Φαίνεται να είναι μια ισχυρή φυλή νίντζα από την Ιαπωνία. Ή, μάλλον, ήταν, καθώς η φυλή νίντζα έχει πλέον ως επί το πλείστον εξαφανιστεί.

Κατέχουν μια ισχυρή, αρχαία μορφή μυστικιστικής τέχνης.

Παρά το υψηλό επίπεδο μυστικιστικής δύναμης και γνώσης που κατέχω, δεν μπορώ να αξιοποιήσω αυτή τη δύναμη - είναι μοναδική για την ίδια τη φυλή νίντζα.

Εφόσον χρησιμοποίησα το DNA του Lou Jitsu για τις πέντε πιο υποσχόμενες δημιουργίες μου -αν και έχει απομείνει μόνο μία- ίσως τελικά καταφέρουν να αξιοποιήσουν αυτή τη δύναμη.

Ωστόσο, το Υποκείμενο-5 έχει δείξει ασθενέστερες δεξιότητες στις μυστικιστικές τέχνες και δεν το θεωρώ ικανό να χρησιμοποιήσει έναν τόσο ισχυρό αρχαίο μυστικιστή.

Draxum apparently found out more about my human DNA donor, Lou Jitsu.

Apparently, that was only a stage name.

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

Lou Jitsu is just a stage name. After much time and research, I discovered that Lou's real name is Yoshi Hamato.

After even more time, I was able to discover more information about the name "Hamato"

It appears to be a powerful ninja clan from Japan. Or, rather, it was, as the ninja clan is now mostly extinct.

They possess a powerful, ancient form of mystical art.

Despite the high level of mystical power and knowledge I possess, I cannot harness this power - it is unique to the ninja tribe itself.

Since I used Lou Jitsu DNA for my five most promising creations - although there is only one left - maybe they will finally be able to harness this power.

However, Subject-5 has demonstrated weaker skills in the mystic arts, and I do not consider it capable of wielding such a powerful ancient mystic.

Things are about to get long, so the translated version of everything will be its own reblog.

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

You know, everyone is so caught up on the fact that Leo loses his arm in the future so he must lose it in the good timeline too. But I think everyone forgets that Raph was actually the first to lose an arm. Then Leo. So I need less fics with Leo losing his arm and more fics with Raph losing his arm.

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

Kai still has his walls, and Draxum killed pretty much all of his spirits- all but the very little Usagi managed to catch; (and what Asha managed to build back up.) But just like how, despite how looking dead, withered, and too far gone this desert rose may seem, it's still trying to bloom- just like Kai.

The desert rose survives the harshest environment, yet, it still finds a way to bloom into something beautiful. Kai survived the harsh environment, but he's still trying to bloom. Maybe someday, his beauty will be worth suffering. But only time will tell.

I thought I should put the meaning of the desert rose in here, too. The desert rose has a different meaning depending on the color- like the pink one symbolizes romance and passion, but the white one symbolizes purity and elegance- but they all represent Resilience- for their ability to survive the harsh environment of the desert while still being able to bloom into something beautiful.

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

Alright, let's see if this works.

I'm not sorry.

(But I do want to apologize for the small bit of lag. Idk what happened. My screen record decided it wanted to not be friends with YouTube anymore ig. :/ [Edit: I edited the laggy clips, so while the lag is still there, it's more subtle and harder to spot.])

I just re-read this for the 3rd time, so I felt it was appropriate to reblog it. 🤍

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

TMNT 2003 Season 3 Episode 22 "The Real World Part 1" (and Part 2- but Part one is the better-) is probably one of my favorite 03 episodes. Like, a Leo Usagi centered episode!? Beautiful. And some of the lines man.

Usagi: "Hm, ninja garb. I feel cloaked in dishonor. We will speak of this to no one."

They then proceeded to sneak past all the Ninjas by being one with the ninjas- also, they probably would have failed this shit if they didn't have a ninja on their side- and wouldn't you know it, thanks to plot armor they got the most honorable ninja there is to honor. But like-

Usagi: "Hebi’s castle gate is too well-guarded. What now?"

Leonardo : "More ninja treachery."

And let's remember he says this with a thumbs up before they start scaling up the wall and I mean- I cackle every time.

I also want to mention that Usagi feels dishonorable wearing ninja garb. But he has no problems hanging out and being on the same side as a ninja- given they hold honor. And that makes Usagi so real for that. Then there's this and I cackle every time.

Leonardo: "Hate to point this out, but you have no arms. This isn’t gonna be much of a fight!"

Lord Hebi immediately coils around Leo and flings him because- well, because sneck. Then-

Leonardo: "Note to self; arms are overrated." -

and I mean for real! XD Just remember Leo, never judge your opponent. Arms or no arms- small or big- you never know what they're capable of.

[ooc-talks-and-forever-yapping]

Back in it again! S3 E 24 "Bishop's Gambit".

Master Splinter: *Wakes up strapped to a table.

Bishop: "Good. You're awake, 'Master Splinter'."

MS: "Bishop!" *Glares at Bishop while bearing his teeth.*

Bishop: "Welcome. Your unique genetic makeup has been very useful to me, indeed. In fact, the mutated DNA I’m extracting from you, even as we speak, will help save all humanity. But you look confused. Well, allow me to explain." *Explains how the EPF and himself came to be blah blah blah-*

But Splinter kept his glare and teeth bared, so what made Bishop say he looked confused? MS never looked confused- or even shocked, actually. Just pissed. Was Bishop just trying to make conversation? Keep the flow going?

Alright, it's Saturday. We're setting up the final preparation but the party is today.
