[A target.]

[(Leo's hurt)]

[Its hard to be sure what is and is not safe to shoot at a head space, but Hunter is now on the attack. He knows what needs to be hit.]

[(The best thing would be Leo being allowed to leave here and recover. He knows Leo can push through the pain too. Trusts Leo to see this through.)]

[Finish the fight.]

[He holds up the hand that isn't wrapped around Hunter, energy crackling up his arm as machine parts pop into existence, slot together with clinking metal, and electronic beeps as an arsenal of laser cannons form above them. His eyes follow Hunter's path, looking for more of the slime and muck, the barrage of energy firing from the cannons to follow up Hunters own attack to hit them harder.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Leo’s sword slices through the last of Guard’s puppet strings; he collapses down on one knee for a moment as he struggles to recover. He’s free at least - somewhere in the forest Belos howls in rage —-

Meanwhile, Donnie’s cannons rip through the muck. Wherever his violet light touches, the corruption dissolves into motes of light. Hunter is moving quickly himself, teleporting this way and that way to catch any fleeing tidbits with a blast of gold. Between the two of them - and Leo having freed the guard - the tide is turning now.

Instead, the last pieces of corruption try one last desperate effort. They merge into a slimy effigy of Hunter and try to barrel past Leo, heading for the bridge. ]

[neonleon]

[All right. That's good, that's progress, that's something but it's not everything yet.

He sees what's happening, cannot possibly ignore the sound of all the cannons. That's Donnie, that's his brother

(It twists, that familial warmth, into pain, his brother protecting the NEW brother and not his twin-)

Leo breaks off two pieces of bridge as the slime-Hunter starts to go past him.]

No, you don't-

[He did this trick once. It worked, but it had been the end. This time they're all here, this time he has his swords- He can do this again. He slams himself against the slime, gritting his teeth against the burning and slams one sword into it, throwing the other sword to Donnie and Hunter's direction.]

Incoming! [And with a crackle of blue electricity, he portals them both to the air space in front of Donatello and Hunter.]

[othellovonryan]

[Robo Raph moves to block off the bridge, to be sure nothing gets through. Protect the connection was his first order.]

[Leo's shouting. They missed something-]

[But Leo saw it.]

Hunter, precise target! [The cannons condensing down to an arm cannon. Power and precision because Leo will be there. All while he turns to that familiar sound, a staticy woosh, the bright light.]

[He aims as the two fingers appear, aims for what isn't blue and that particular green, feels the heat of the cannon ramp up, almost burning his own skin because who needs safety settings in the mind space when there is an evil uncle to destroy? Whatever gives more power is worth it.]

[He fires.]

[pyrighteous]

[ The portal drops both Leo and slime Hunter (Slimer??) right in the line of fire. He gets one moment for his glowing blue eyes to go wide before Donnie fires.

That’s a lot of firepower. It BLASTS through the slime, sending tidbits everywhere. Hunter finishes them off with little ripples of gold light - and Guard himself squelches the very last one with a trembling hand freed from its strings.

The storm quiets. The trees are damaged, but no longer corrupted. And that bridge still glows bright behind them. ]

[neonleon]

[The minute he hears the heat ramping up, soon as he's through the portal, Leo lets go. Drops and rolls into a run as fast as he can out of the way until he falls face first into the ground holding his side, his front. Everything hurts, even in this mind scape.

But he looks up to see the gold and purple vibrant and tinting the landscape around them.

From where he lays on the ground, he grins and shoots them a thumbs up.]

Good job, team.

[othellovonryan]

[His arm is shaking. There are acid burns all up and down his arms. It hurts.]

[But the storm is gone. The trees are just a normal level of spooky. Hunter is up. Guard looks weak and shaken, but not hurt.]

Raph, check Guard.

[Robo Raph will move over to Guard, bringing his feeling of Safety, and see if he's in any dire need of help that Donnie needed to be alerted to.]

[Donnie flies over to Leo, dropping down to the ground. That is not a good injury, what does that MEAN in a mindscape, he doesn't know, is it like when they were in dad's and injuries transferred, or is it different-]

[He lands beside Leo and his hands go out to his shoulder, the Ninpo is still thrumming through him, and he'll push more towards Leo. Hoping it'll help stabilize him, make it not so bad, something-]

How bad is it?

[pyrighteous]

[ Guard sits up slowly with Robo Raph’s help. His mask has cracked and fallen to pieces, but he seems unhurt. Just weak and exhausted. There’s nothing critical that needs their help; in fact, Hunter himself is kneeling next to Guard to look him over for injuries himself. The grimwalker brothers have this corner taken care of for now, so Donnie and Leo can focus on theirs. ]

[neonleon]

[His entire front burned from holding on to Slimer to make sure he didn't get away from Leo, his side bleeding that same dark red from the spikes. But Leo looks up at Donnie, then past him at the grimwalker brothers.]

How are they? They're okay?

[othellovonryan]

[Donnie looks over his shoulder. There's a thumbs up from Robo Raph.]

[He let's out a breath and looks over to Leo.] Okay for now. Not full of holes like you. [He gives him a wobbly smile, that's definitely more 'stressed out and about to not keep it together' than anything.]

[Curse his inability to use mystic powers while feelings things, he wants to shut down-]

This is getting to be far too common a sight lately, Nardo.

Your....your blood is abnormal. Did he do something weird to you? Do you feel feverish or...poisoned somehow?

[neonleon]

Yeah, didn't think he'd use me as a pin cushion.

[He'll start pushing himself up, to his elbow first and stop there to get his breath (does he even need to breathe here?) but shake his head.]

No, I don't feel any different. Probably just some slime or something from the storm in here.

[Annnnd up to his knee... and then on his feet.]

[othellovonryan]

These villains early need to visit a hobby store. Get those stress balls and pin cushions elsewhere.

[This may be an attempt to be comforting while trying not to freak out.]

[Anxiety. He dismissed something that looked strange before and look what happened to Hunter.]

[He follows along to support Leo.] I-are you sure, Leo? It seems like its leaking out of you.

[neonleon]

[He drapes an arm over his brother, starting to walk to the others at the bridge.]

I'm sure. This is all in our minds anyway, right? Not real.

[othellovonryan]

This place is an altered state of existence, but its all very real. That's why I didn't just nuke the forest.

Tell me if anything feels off when you're in your body? If this is like last time...

[The anxiety is not fading.]

[neonleon]

I will, Dee.

Let's just celebrate that we won! We helped them out. [gesturing to the grimwalker twins.] Hunter and Guard are gonna be all right.

[othellovonryan]

Yes, I am very relieved about that and I'm going to hug them when they're in range, but-

[He hates seeing Leo hurt and he just wants to be certain he is okay.]

[neonleon]

[He knows. And he knows nothing he says will convince Donnie he's all right when he really is.]

So? What're we waiting for? [Gonna swish them a quick portal to the bridge.]

[othellovonryan]

[Probably not. Especially with the price of not being concerned before-]

I assumed giving them a moment.

[But through the portal!!!]

Hunter? Guard?

[pyrighteous]

[ Both blonds look up at that. Guard still looks pale and weak, sprawled on the ground and exhausted, but Hunter looks much stronger than he did when he was drowning in the muck. He’s still faintly glowing with residual ninpo.

Hunter levers himself up with a gold staff topped with a set of cardinal wings. Not Flapjack; more of a fusion with the artificial staff design. ]

We’re - we’re over here. We’re okay.

[ A groan from Guard. ]

Okay well Guard is super sore after all of that, but he’s not hurt.

[neonleon]

[Relief. He's relieved they're both all right.

He smiles as they approach, nudging Donnie a little.]

Good, I'd be mad if we went through all that and you got hurt anyway.

[othellovonryan]

[Calling him out on his affection desires. Rude.]

[BUT! He wants!]

[So he will stumbled forward, looking them over, before pulling Hunter into a hug.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Oh. Hugs are good. Hunter gladly hugs Donnie right back, then looks at Leo. ]

You coming too?

[neonleon]

[That gets one blink before he smiles a little and gets right on in there. Hugs for his brothers.]

[othellovonryan]

Guard, you should be here to if this is a group hug.

[pyrighteous]

[ Guard groans from the ground. ]

Only if you bring it down here.
