There’s much to this AU, and things have changed since I last updated you all, however, good things are coming very soon.
And for those new to this story I’ve been writing and rewriting and thinking through for years, let me tell you about The Cost of Victory.
Raph, when he tried to rip away the Krang flesh fused to his own, instead shut down. He collapsed right there in front of everyone, the strain of trying to free himself proving too much.
Everything slowed, Raph fell into a coma as his body focused on keeping control and fighting the Krang puppeting him. Waking up was irrelevant, survival was.
But this was a catalyst. Without Raph, the fight against Krang Prime shifted slightly and ended like it always was destined to. Leo alone, stuck in the Prison Dimension. But for longer, his body beaten and on the verge of death.
Mikey, of course, tried to open a portal. Chips of skin peeled from his arms.
And Donnie could not watch another brother get hurt or vanish before his eyes. He took the brunt of the spell, something him and Raph and Mikey would’ve been able to share between themselves, instead overwhelmed the soft-shell. It resulted in the loss of both of Donnie’s arms, but Leo was alive.
The comic focuses on the butterfly effect these changes had. New foes and familiar ones.
And what their victory cost them all.
