[ 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. ]

[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.

[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?

[ 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. ]

[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?

[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?

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.]

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.

[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.

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.]

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.

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.]

[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.]

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

I assumed giving them a moment.

[But through the portal!!!]

Hunter? Guard?

[ 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.

[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.

[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.]

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

You coming too?

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

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

[ Guard groans from the ground. ]

Only if you bring it down here.

Can do!

[Guess who's floppin down. And gets one of Guard's arms over his shoulder to start lifting him to sit up.]

[Donnie will help in these efforts, helping pull Hunter down to meet Leo and Guard halfway up.]

We're glad you guys are okay.

[ The two grimwalkers wind up sandwiched between the turtle brothers, Guard scowling and Hunter just a bit shy about it. Both are pleased, though.

Hunter speaks up. ]

Yeah. It was - awful in there. Not being able to break out or do anything to stop him.

[Hahaaaa can't hide that pleased feeling from him, Guard, no one can resist a turtlepile hug.]

I bet. It's gone now so you don't have to worry about it again.
