... claws? Well, Raph DID scale up to the window in the previouse chapter, but I kinda thought it was those spiked ninja-gloves the guys wear, (forgot what they're called,) but to think Raph is turned into some sort of werewolf-turtle, (or something more Dragon'ish) then maybe it's best Mike learns how to pop around without invitations...

It kinda makes me wonder how Raph's wife feels abotuthis, or if she even knows... he doesnt suddenly flick the on switch when he's mad, does he? O_o; and hiding this from Splinter now with his new power might be a little hard to do, thoguh...

This is a great chapter. It gives us great insight into the origins of Lae-Nauth, give more depth to the current situation and equips all the major characters with the skills they'll need to face the challenge in clear and succinct detail. That's an awful lot of information to pack in there, and you did a wonderful job of it.

One thing I do appreciate about the 'powers' each of the characters has been given is that they are limited in requiring the amulets to work. I just think that's a more original and believable take on people suddenly gaining such powers, that they have a bit of an achilles' heel per se.

And I'm still keen to see the true nature and extent of Raphs' powers... Lookin' forward to the next chapter chica! Good luck with it.

Cheers!

GO Donnie! Nice to see him with a bit of fire in his belly. Guess he's learned he has to stand up to people a little more if he's going to help lead them.

I liked the little insight in to the beginnings of Raph and Mee-lahs' relationship at the start. Found it very sweet.

Bray-Noor is an awesome character, and I loved the way Splinter sympathised with his plight more so than his sons. And I adored (seriously!) the dragon 'motif' on the floor (I want one!). I can't wait to see how it will help them comprehend the language, though are they going to be able to speak it if Raph wants it kept secret that they know what's being said? I should imagine they would be able to speak it too, but the way Raph touched his chest makes me wonder otherwise, or if something more is going on.

I shall be keenly awaiting the next chapter to find out!

Cheers chica!

I must say that this story is excellent! I LOVE the idea of the turtles in this setting! Post chapter 8 soon!

no pain no gain... lol Great chappie by the way!

Read this a while back, when it first posted, but forgot to review.

Loved the flash back story. Those 'vampire' creatures sound nightmarish, too.

But I loved Leo's scream at the end, when he overheard that Raph married the emperor/king's daughter!

Well, looks as if you've updated about twice since this one, so I guess I have some reading to do.

Wonderful story, btw. Very imaginative.

Be blessed,

Well I admit it didn't answer much of my questions, but it did give more an understanding to the nature of Don and Raph's life while they were stuck in this world. Also, I feel kinda sorry for the wizard, he sounds like a really nice guy...

I don't like the fat guy, though; something about him rubs me the wrong way, and it's not just the attitude. Tor-Vann(?) actually sounds like a nice kid, though I'm still fighting this odd hunch that insists he's not all he seems.

LOL! Okay, Mike cracked me up in this one, over usage of 'Dude' is not something Raph would be happy with, hahaha! XD I feel sorry for Mee-Lah, having her son kidnapped and such, but I sort of don't think that's exactily how things went...

For one thing, from what I gathered the Horde are huge, heavy and thick skinned creatures, muscle bound beasts, which would also mean they're slow and strong, but with a few exeptions like the one Raph had to meet and fight with when they first arrived in this world.

But the idea that two of them broke into the castle, undetected, (and I find this odd to believe, unless they had help somehow,) beat up the queen, kidnapped the child and left doesn't sound quite right. They could have taken both queen and child, why just the child? They were after her when she was a princess, why change tactics now?

Oh, and I noted the loss of seperators in the story, the scene change between Raph reuniting with his wife, and the guys settling into their new home, felt like it was bunhced together and it was a little confusing.

ROFL! "Sir Dude." Hehehe only Mikey could come up with that. I was almost expecting him to nick-name poor Dre-shun 'Dr Dre'!

Hmm so Leo is thinking of a different kinda blade to battle the Horde, huh? Will be keen to see what he comes up with.

Poor Casey, still feeling the lure at times, huh? At least he has Aprils' support to help him through.

And poor Mee-lah, it seems she remembered the attack and everything, poor girl! At least she has Raphie back to help her through again. I gotta wonder though, does Donnie have anyone special he has failed to mention yet? Will any of the guys ever want to head back to Earth again after the Horde has been vanquished, or will they happily make a life for themselves in their brothers' court?

Hehehe, Mikey the Jester, just gotta get him one of those splayed hats with the bells! And I could see Leo stepping in to head up the military quite easily. But how will the family cope with the added pressures and power-plays of running a kingdom? Looking forward to finding out!

Cheers chica!

Oh man i love mikey! or... Mike now.. lol Great chapter! Poor Raph and his wife.

I managed to read half of this yesterday morning, but only just managed to get back now to read the rest and leave a comment, sorry!

Hehehe, Mikey seems to have put his little bout of sour-grapes behind him, thought he would.

And Raph has finally come clean regarding his position. I could just see the stunned looks on everyones' faces -grin-.

Couple of questions for ya;

Are there humans on Lae-Nauth as well? I just got the impression Satch-el (I gotta join Casey in having a giggle on that one, poor kid!) was a human. Just an assumption I guess since you didn't give anymore of a description other than his age and hair colour though he'd be the first 'native' of Lae-Nuth most of the group would have seen. He also didn't seem surprised by Casey and April at all.

Why has Mee-lah only just woken up? Was she knocked out during the raid or battle where he son was taken, has she only just found out (or possibly even know yet) that he is missing? -frets-

And last but not least, have you got the next chapter ready to post yet? Have ya, have ya, huh? Lookin' forward to it!

Cheers!

why do casey and april have to change clothes? and why did raph and don have so much more trouble getting back to new york than they did getting to this new planet?

So he finally told them he was the king, and yet they were too shocked to reply or comment, eh? I hope they all get along better with Raph and Don stuck in this world, especially Mike cause he wss upset his brothers vanished in the first place. Raph and Don cant go back to New York, they already made a life for themselves, and jumping the portal every now and then may not be good for their health...

And- I might have gotten this wrong, but how can the Horde multiply within 3 years from 50 to 300? Unless their side of the portal is still open and they keep hopping in and out to gather more forces? Maybe they saw how this world is so good they decided to take over? D:

sorry i havent been reviewing in a while, i have finals coming up in a few weeks. this story is turning into quite a complex little universe you got going...i always enjoy your stories, and i hope raph gets his son back.

Good ol' turtle luck eh? Manage to defeat the big ugly monsters only to be scarred for life by the scavengers that followed! I though it was a cool detail that they oozed that corrosive stuff from their claws.

I loved Raph's 'expansive' description regarding 'what happened to the girl he rescued'. Classic Raph. And the final line! ROFL!

I also really liked the meaning behind his tattoo. Dunno why, but I find tats fascinating, though I doubt I'd ever get one myself. But they do seem to work well as a form of 'binding' in that sense. There's a very specific reason I gave Tau her secretive little tat, and it will come into play again albeit a long way down the track.

Heh, with my last comment about Raph getting smug; I think he would get a bit cocky at times about being 'top dog'. I could just see him and Don (whilst still on LaeNauth) having a private sparring session with Raph smirking something like "Don't go easy on me now, just because I'm Lord and King. I've got a nation to defend now, so I still have to keep my game up..." -cut to Don with a dead-pan expression before he righteously whoops Raphs' butt good-! Hehehe. Though I doubt he'd be callous enough to say anything of the sort in public, just a bit o' jibing between brothers.

But I could also see him being a bit uncomfortable with the role. He's a good lieutenant, but he knows his own flaws in terms of his leadership qualities. And I think part of the worry he would have in returning to his family is how it might effect the family dynamic. It might be awkward for him to balance being the leader of a nation with still being essentially third in charge of a small group. Despite being King I doubt he would see himself set above Leo or Splinter in terms of leading the family. Though he might worry that they would feel a little usurped by the situation anyway. Am I making sense? Probably not, it's late and I've had a LO-O-ONG day...

So enough rambling from me, looking forward to the next chapter chica! Glad you seem to be on a roll with this one.

Cheers!
