starter for @the2012turtles
A long, exasperated sigh echoed through the streets of NYC, reaching all the way from the Bronx to Staten Island and everywhere in between; Scaring probably about 1000 pigeons on the way and waking anyone unfortunate enough to leave their windows open.
“Hey! Quiet down up there!” A cranky voice called out from not to far away, prompting Leo to rudely shout back “I’m SORRY I didn’t hear you because I was too busy looking for a fu-”
“WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP” A third voice added before the teenager could finish. Ahh New York, gotta love it.
The turtle brushed off the whole conversation and attempted to regain his focus, holding out his weapon, ready to strike. He leaned in close to his weapon and whispered to himself. “Okay Nardo; It’s easy; all you have to do is make a silly little portal home and prove to your brothers that you are, in fact a useful and capable asset. You got this. You are a champion. You have no fear, no reason to hesitate.”
He took a deep breath and struck his weapon in a circular form, scaring away a stray bug that dared cross his path. Despite him moving swiftly, he felt as if he was in slow motion. His blade gracefully slicing through the air, picking up more and more speed as he spun it around repeatedly until finally the blue glow began to form around the blade, as the circle he traced became clearer and clearer. Yes! It’s working! He thought to himself, trying hard to to lose focus.
Eventually he stopped spinning and looked proudly on his work, his arms involuntarily making their way to his hips. “Oh-ho boy just WAIT until the guys see me popping in through this!” His smile widened as he backed up, ready to leap into the portal. I can’t wait to see the look on their faces!
Putting his sword away he began his flying leap into the portal, graceful as a swan until he tripped on nothing. A rock probably. Instead of his planned triple-somersault-flying-leap he settled for an unintentional-half-flip.
Landing on his head for the third time today probably wasn’t good for his health, but it didn’t stop him from saying his “well-thought-out” entrance line.
“Oh sorry for dropping by unannounced!” His proud smile quickly changed to awkward smile.
“Heheh whoops, wrong sewer.”
