TMNT - New Consideration

Description

Alopex had never thought much of the turtles as a whole. Yes, they were mutants like her, created in practically the same manner she had been, but that meant little especially considering she served the Shredder. They were an obstacle to him, therefore it was her duty to remove them. However, when her Master, Oroku Saki, had taken the oldest of the turtles and remade him into his 2nd, it had both surprised and confused her. Leonardo was different, even as a member of the Foot Clan, and Alopex often found it irritating that he'd been given the authority to command them. Still, she obeyed the Shredder, and in obeying the Shredder, obeyed "the Chunin" as well.

When something started going wrong with Oroku Saki's network, his electronic eyes and ears around the city, it infuriated him that none of his technicians could locate the source of the fault, a fault that soon began to spread. When a particularly crucial branch went offline, the Shredder immediately dispatched Leonardo and several Foot soldiers to discover the cause. With the source of this most recent blackout being located in an electronics store, he demands they lay hands on the culprit of this attack.

Upon reaching the store, what the Chunin and his followers find is not a rogue hacker, or a vengeful remnant of the Savate; no, what they find is Donatello, Leonardo's younger brother. Oddly enough, they don't find Donatello inside the store, but outside, rummaging through the dumpster. Leo attacks the moment he recognizes Don. Sensing the attack at the last possible second Donnie turns, but is unable to stop Leo from ramming him up against the wall; he is soon surrounded by Foot. When questioned about the sabotage of the Shredder's network, Donatello claims ignorance. 

Surprisingly enough Leonardo believes his little brother, more so upon spotting a small pile of broken parts which Donnie had fished out of the garbage, and had intended to take back to the Lair. Don is not the saboteur, only a resourceful collector of useful parts. Leo dispatches some of the Foot soldiers to inspect the building where they find nothing and no one.

Remembering that Don is a wizard with technical things, Leo suddenly has a very good idea. Of course, it's not very good for Don.

Dismayed, angered, and little frightened, Donatello is taken prisoner by his own brother and brought to Foot central, i.e. Shredder's HQ. It is here that Donnie is bound to a steel beam where he must wait until the Shredder and the witch Kitsune have a moment to inspect him. Leonardo freely tells Don that if the Shredder approves of his plan —one that will permanently solve the Shredder's technical issues— then he will experience the same change he had at the hands of Kitsune.

At first the Shredder is not pleased to hear that his Chunin was unsuccessful at finding the source of his failing network. Leo however, is quick to explain that while he could not find the fault, he DID find the solution and expounds on his brother's technical prowess. Oroku Saki is initially dubious about adding another terrapin to his ranks, but once Kitsune has a chance to look Don over, he changes his mind. Kitsune informs them that she will have to modify the ceremony only a little in order to alter Donatello's mind in same way Leo's has been. Obviously this is NOT welcome news to Donnie.

Because Leo has more important things that need attending, Shredder tells Alopex to guard the "purple mask"  until Kitsune is prepared to deal with him. The humans depart, yet before Leo can do the same, Don suddenly yells out: "Leo! You're really going to let them do this to me?!"

Leonardo is insulted by the question, especially the insinuation that their kinship has any bearing over his loyalty and duty to Oroku Saki — his master. Taking out his tanto, Leo puts it to Don's cheek and, with the slightest motion of sharpened steel, cuts his face. Donnie is shocked, and hurt by this. Leo then states that he will not only let it happen, he will make it happen even if that means binding Donatello to Kitsune's altar himself. Leo departs, leaving Alopex to guard his brother.

With a million thoughts rushing through his head, Donnie can't believe how far gone Leo is; the thought that he could soon be the same is just as frightening. The cut on Don's face stings fiercely, like the circumstances in which he finds himself. Then, unexpectedly, Alopex approaches the turtle; she is unnerved by the sight of the crimson sliding down Donatello's cheek. Don is quite taken aback when the fox suddenly starts licking his face. His reaction to the care startles the young fox, prompting her to ask: "What? Your wound needs tending. Do you not lick your wounds when you're injured?"

"I don't make a habit of it, no." he answers. When he asks her why she would even want to help him in the first place, Alopex replies that it is because he will soon be a member of the Foot clan and an infection resulting from an untreated wound would be most undesirable. Don's brain isn't sure how to process this statement; all he knows is he's in a really bad spot. Still, Alopex proceeds to "treat" Donnie's wound 'til it stops bleeding. She then settles in to guard him, and regard him. It is here, for the first time, that she actually has a chance to just look, observe, and see what a mutant turtle looks like in detail. She had only ever seen them as angry blurs prior to this, things to hit and be hit by. And, with the addtion of Leo, something to be commanded by.

But this is something different. And what interests Alopex the most about Donatello is the fact that he chooses to mask himself in the same color she does: Purple Square Bullet This is indeed, most interesting.


This little story/scenario of mine takes place during the IDW arc "City Fall" which, if you're following the series, has just wrapped up. This also explains how my OTP for Donatello comes about. I'm a big fan of Alotello AKA Donnie X Alopex! Hey, don't rag on it! You can't sit there and tell me Don doesn't deserve a foxy girl! It's beauty and the geek, man!

My thanks to Ross Campbell for encouraging me to draw Alopex. If it weren't for his wonderful TMNT art I wouldn't have been able to figure out how to draw her properly! Kudos dude! ^.~
