Story of the turtles (ROTTMNT TTS AU fic) part 1
It all must've started with Huggin being not a very careful guy whatsoever. Baron Draxum's minion hurried through the bustling streets of the Hidden City, carrying a paper bag tightly but nervously in his grasp, maneuvering between Yokais, or at least trying to. Sure enough, some lizard Yokai stepped into Huggin's way out of nowhere, making the small gargoyle to bump straight into the stranger's side, and send one of the vials flying onto the ground, which was then kicked by someone passing by, as the vial go out of Huggin's line of sight.
— Sorry! Didn't see you coming, sir. Oh, my.. I can swear I saw something fall. Nevermind, it's better not to leave Boss hanging.
Huggin scurried away towards Baron Draxum's laboratory, while in the meantime, the vial jumped on the ground from place to place, kicked or sweeped by feet of people passing by like a bouncing ball. Eventually, it got kicked hard enough to be sent flying pretty far into an alleyway behind the stands at the market, and it fell onto a sharp-ended pebble, the glass shattering and the yellowish-green substance sent flying in all directions, including onto an abandoned little turtle that was there. The goo covered the turtle from the top of the shell to the little fingers of the turtle, causing it to mutate, gaining more humanoid traits. This process was anything but pleasant because it wasn't made in a stable environment and the substance was raw with its alchemical power. But eventually, after felt like an eternity for the turtle, it was able to move away from the puddle and the shattered glass, towards the entrance of the alleyway, now crawling on all four. It stopped when the sounds finally caught up to it, as well as the sight of many silhouettes of various sizes, forms and kinds of Yokais moving back and forth. Some of them might've not been so big for an average person, but for a freshly mutated turtle in size of a sandwich, they were huge. Of course they got scared and hurried to hide under something— anything — and that just so happened to be an old barrel nearby, with a conveniently baby turtle sized hole all the way down, so the poor little thing crawled inside, hiding there and inside of their shell.
That is how Nad got to become a Yokai (actually a mutant).
