Robo Raph is a construct so its not actually bad for him if he goes down. [He's just saying.]

[Donnie will allow the hand and put his own on Hunter's and Leo's shoulders.]

Two.

What do you think we are?

[ Guard makes a face, but Hunter waves a hand. ]

Not what he meant, Guard. Three--

[ Time to wake up. ]

[And they come back! Leo still knelt over Hunter's body holding the crystal to him. And thankfully the bit of ninpo Donnie shoved at him took care of whatever injuries may have been.

Once he's aware of himself, Leo sits back a bit, crouching on his heels.]

[Oh]

[Shit, that's a good point.]

[Whoop, but in his body and he just]

[Falls over because ooooooh my god, that was so much to do.]

[He still feels phantom stinging on his arms.]

....inform Guard when convenient that I will be workshopping a better word for my mystic power other then construct now that I have connected the dots on where there may be confusion.

How are you feeling, Hunter?

[ Hunter ... slowly sits up. That's good! All traces of that horrible green-black goop are gone now, which is even better. There's a rustle in the treeline - maybe Belos escaping, that could be bad - but there is, perhaps, something more pressing here and now.

Hunter has been left with horrific scars. Anywhere the goop touched, his flesh has been eaten away at, much like Leo and Donnie experienced. Except, you know, Belos has had control for a couple of hours, and that does horrible things to someone like Hunter. But worst of all, there is a huge hole where his galdorstone should be. There isn't even a HINT of that particular part of himself regenerating.

He just sort of. Wheezes gently. How is he breathing with a huge hole through his chest? Good question. That's probably where the wheezing is coming from. ]

Oh. That's ... awful.

[ He's more numb than anything. ]

[He was looking at Donnie to make sure his brother was okay, but then looks to Hunter at those words and-

Oh.

OH EW. Gross gross ew.]

I think that's a little more than 'awful'!

[Donnie just needs a minute. Probably. Sometimes he just needs to be on the ground so he can recover.]

[Though he does hear that wheezing. Oh, that isn't a good sound.]

[Then Leo freaked out.]

[He pushes himself up to his hands and knees.] What?! [He is quickly crawling over to see what is going on and-]

Your galdorstone! Shit, Leo, crystal. We need to buy time. Hunter, you said Pari was making a body for Guard, right?

[ Hunter sort of lolls forward as he tries to nod. There's still magic in his body, but it's not circulating properly without the stone OR Belos serving as a core. ]

Y. Yeah. A bird. Like me'n Flapjack.

[CRYSTAL right, he's got it in his hand still. Just. Gonna try and focus his ninpo to it with a flash of blue before he - oh ew. Listen, Donnie's got his gross level, Leo's got his and this is definitely hitting his gross level as he puts... the crystal.... in the hole..... Ewewewew]

So he should be able to do a permanent solution.

[Because the crystal isn't, it can only hold so much energy, but its like an epipen. Keep the person alive until they can get to someone who can really treat them.]

[Donnie has to swallow hard, putting his own hand over Leo's, to give the Ninpo focus.]

[Enhance the construct, Hunter is technically just parts switched together, like things he's enhanced before. Directing the energy to holds those parts together, increase durability, energy, keep the shell together.]

[ Hunter slumps forward as the brothers work, having lost even the energy to speak at this point. Whatever light was in him is fading fast.

So it's very fortunate they have that crystal ready. With the Ninpo flowing through it, and the part enhancement ... slowly his chest begins to heal over. It's not perfect - the comparison to an epipen is VERY apt - but that flicker of life stabilizes in him. He takes in a longer, gasping breath as the hole smooths over. ]

Nnghh...

A little bit more, c'mon, you're almost there-

[He's having to focus a lot harder though, the surface level of his ninpo already drained - from Belos trying to suck it up before and then using it in that mind scape. What's left he has is having to be dredged up from his own reserves. But he keeps at it, watching that whole start to heal.]

We're. We're going to need a portal to Mouse, L-Leo. Crystal can only hold so much.

[His voice is tight, hand shaking, still directing the Ninpo and adding what he can after all that. His eyes scanning over Hunter, looking at his form to see if everything looks like it'll stay together.

[ The hole is sealed over now, and Hunter seems ... well enough to walk, at least. The more Ninpo Donatello shoves in, the more wakeful he becomes.

He's holding together for now. Some kind of stable for the moment. ]

Portal sounds - sounds good. Yeah. Sorry, I'm ... I'm so tired.

No worries, we gotcha, you're fine.

[Keeping one hand on Hunter and the other is grabbing his sword to portal them to Mouse, the blue lighting up underneath them.]

You have nothing to apologize for.

[As soon as Leo reaches for the sword-]

Outside the house. There's a ward around it.

[He is going to pull Hunter up into his arms, no reason to make him walk until they can get him inside.]

[ Good call. Hunter slumps against Donnie as soon as he's no longer required to walk. He clings to Donnie's neck gently instead. ]

[OUTSIDE MOUSE got it, he's doin it they're goin-

Portal will, in fact, plop them outside Mouse's front door.]

[Yeah, he figured.]

[To Mouse's front door.]

[And...will either open it, or let Hunter open it, however Mouse operates their front door situation.]

Your room or main room?

[ Yeah, Hunter fumbles the door open for them. Trying to blink through his own exhaustion. ]

M. Main room. Just ... put me on a couch.

[Well Don's got that on lock, so Leo will just? Follow for now, keeping an eye on Hunter and sending ninpo through as needed.]

Got it.

[Going to go deposit Hunter and Pari gets alerted, timey wimey handwavey nonsense.]

[May got just]

[Hover near Leo while That Gets Sorted, sometimes you need to vibe near a brother for stress relief.]

[ YEP. In an alternate timeline, Pari has installed a philosopher's stone in fact; there's a strange, crawling flicker as those timelines reemerge, and the crystal and ninpo they placed inside of him intertwines itself with Pari's work. Small streaks of violet and blue pulse gently at the spot where a heart would be under normal circumstances.

Slowly, carefully, Hunter sits up. Exhausted, still, but ... breathing. Recovering. He looks over at the two turtles. ]

Leo? Donnie?

[Neat TM.

Leo's been chillin but perks up when Hunter does.]

Hey! ... You're looking uuhh... Less full of holes.

[Oh]

[That was]

[Weird]

[It kind of makes his arms ache in a weird way, rolling his wrists. Was it a magic thing?]

[Whatever that was, its on the backburner when Hunter calls out to them.]

Hunter! [He moves over to him.] How are you faring?
