Iluka Islands. Many sea faring peopls a major township in this collection of tropical islands.

Duncan's cackle at the mud Raph throwing splattering against the big turtles could possibly be called almost witchy -


he'd enjoyed the surprised sounds of the big turtles!


And attention giggling and feeling the sling shifting he gets excited, definitely beyond tired now - at that point of 'over tired' exuberance.

" swwwiiiiiim?! Leo? swwwwwiiiim?" splashing his feet and hands. His face all lit up and bright with curiosity.

Leonardo had managed to turn his being thrown away into a turtle style belly flop and for a moment disappeared under water coming up with the muddy hands and ready to sling, only Raphael laughing had fortunately moved and Leo got the mud slung from raph at him.


Another of those loud laughs and Raphael grins back at his counterpart, a bit surprised by gleeful, " niiiice shot Raph hehehe..." moving towards them to get between them and Leo's retailiation.

Oooohhhh.... cruuuuuuuuuuud... He actually hit the big Leo! He meeps and dives underwater. Not because he actually believes he can escape the guy, but he's pretty sure it's the only chance he's got of eluding him at all. It's a very, very, very small chance, but... he'll take it. He swims quickly as far from Lilo as he can. He's pretty sure a Leo would never take out his frustrations at a Raph on an innocent. He's certain Big Blue will follow him.

"Uh... maybe..." Leo's answer to Duncan is distracted as he watches the scene unfolding. He sighs, shakes his head and quickly gets Duncan off his back and out of the sling. Leo then hurriedly handed both child and carrier to Addy.

"I should probably go help make sure he doesn't actually kill the small, stupid Raph."

Leo then jumped in, joining Raphael in acting as a blockade between Leonardo and the little mud-slinging Raph. At least the pudgy guy had the presence of mind to run. Leo might be considerably smaller than the larger turtles, but he's quick, precise and scrappy!

She had not wiggled away from Raph, enjoying the moment of soft kissing, and maybe teasing with her tail.


Then the guys were...


Well she doesn't know what their doing but with a chuckle and roll of her eyes she moves closer to Addy.


The two girls stopping to watch them, little boy between them, watching how this will play out.

Addy actually met Leo's gaze that time, and maybe her mouth opened to say something -


But it vanished with a smile as the eager clearly energised young fellow and sling is passed over. Lilo comes closer and they watch... Addy giving the wildermann lady a light push and they move to shallower waters so the little boy could reach the muddy bottom and play safely between them. Addy taking this moment - amused by the bigger turtles, to wash the juice and some chew pulp out of the cloth.


the girls alternating between keeping an eye on their turtle men at play, the surroundings and of course looking for the faint rising of steam or the simmer of heat vapors somewhere around them.


And of course keeping the little guy between them.

" hahahaahah hahahaah' Raphael bellows with laughter and reaches into the water grabbing his counterparts foot and hoisting him up grinning and offering a high five as Leonardo slowly wiped off the mud and straightened up across from them. Hah!

And now Leo was with them, he grins at him, " got a plan for that mud monster over there?" he asks as Leonardo eye all three of them - expression stern and unreadable, dangerous... but there was a smirk forming, Leonardo could sense a challenge of some sort in the offing.


And with the ladies behind them - to show off for. The baby protected.... yes they could take down the Leonardo!

Leonardo watched, listened, felt.


Waiting.

Naked save for his swords and tail hanging between thighs, not tucked at the moment, all of him wet and gleaming int he faint moonlight ave forhis hands he'd found under the layer of loose mucky river bed mud thicker clayish sort and was just waiting to pick his target.


He would have laughed to at the way Raph's counterpart swam off, but choose to pretend to be serious, look all impressive and intimidating.

Oh boy did the over tired toddler pout for a bit when Leo handed him over? his bottom lip stuck all the way out and he tried to clumsily swim after him, join in with the big turtles - but...

The look did ease when Addy and Lilo took him to water he could stand in... and Addy gave him his ball. Only they didn't let him stray far.


this he didn't mind and he was happy to play with his ball... and watch the big turtle so curious as to what they are doing!

Leo’s not entirely sure what he just stepped into, but it seems to be a 3-1 sparring match. Well, alrighty then.

Maybe two and a half, or just two... little Raph who upped it in the first place seems to be trying to run away again, even though the big Raph dragged him back in. Leo picked up on the almost laugh. Alright, you want to play? Let’s play.

Leo’s faced bigger things. He’s not even almost intimidated. And he’s pretty motivated to take this guy down a peg. Even if it takes two of them to do it.

”Against your brother? Whatever it takes to get in close. Because that’s definitely Raphael territory, and Leo and Raph are small enough that distance in this fight is not their ally either.

Raph squeaked when his counterpart dragged him out of the water. Meeeeh! He didn’t want to spar with these guys! No way no how!

Two Leo’s right? Maybe he can appeal to strategy? Why this is a terrible idea?

”Aren’t we supposed to be quiet? Hiding from a tail? Aren’t they still back there? We play around like this, don’t we give away our position?

They don’t seem to be interested...


Damn.

Raphael grins and places his counterpart down in the water on his feet and nods, " Where's the fun without the challenge? to see if we can take this guy down a peg or two without too much splashing, or shouting...." cracking his knuckles and lightly elbowing Leo.


" exactly - lets get some muck flying first..." and work on how they can pin the blue guy down.


He reaches and hurls some muck of course only aiming for plastron though nictation eyelids were an advantage in a game like this - to keep muck out of eyes.


The three of them should manage it - but it was never good to underestimate a Leo. Any Leo as he'd noted more than once with Leo.

there maybe is a grin over at the three turtles across from him, and he tosses his handfuls of mud at them. aiming one back at Raph and one at the joining them Leo.


Interested to see how this would play out. Amused.


Eager.


And indeed keeping his 'attack' in silence. Even his moving to gather more ammo was quiet.

Leo really wants to get behind his counterpart. He can be patient though. He really wants to stuff mud down the guy’s shell.

He manages to dodge most of the mud slung at him while staying silent in the water.

“Think of it as stealth training.” He comments at the small Raph’s concerns. Clearly, someone doesn’t want to play. And Leo drags the guy back into the fray.

“Ugh... fine.” Raph finally picked up some mud.

Leo silently gathers a couple handfuls of mud, and waits for the Raphs to get some too. Once they’re armed, he throws his mud, hoping the others do too. Little Raph caught on and threw his as well.

Addy smiled at the small boy - watching the bigger boys play... he sooo wanted to be among them -


She licks his cheek, " not today young one...' sharing a sort of amused half eye roll with Lilo.


Addy sitting comfortably in the shallows under a grouping of reeds and bush and tree roots to keep herself, Lilo and Duncan out of site.

Duncan indeed was hopping about in the shallows - hands on the girls, leaning over to look, to watch the bigger turtles eagerly wanting to get in on their play...


Giggling though at Addy's lick and turning his face up to her. " ball?!" he asks for hopefully hands up.

" and team building... my brother can be a pompous and or bit of a prig sometimes... but sad thing is he's earned it..." they would have to work as a team to get Leonardo of guard. He suspected any Leo. Well maybe not his counterparts, maybe... who knows? little guy was a scrapper no doubt his Leo is too.


The big guy got his ammo and flung it at his brother feeling some splatter against his plastron - moving forward to try to hem Leonardo in trap him. Pin him.

Lilo giggles watching Addy and Liam - then hops lightly in the water to the tree roots scrambling up it to get a good view of their surroundings, the trackers must have fallen well back cause she was not seeing more bird flocks yet or even dust from them possibly travelling along that gravel path they took, nor did she hear any distant screeching.


There was a mountain troll some distance off sleeping in the mouth of a cave opening.


And maybe those were goblins dragging the mangled body of the dead spinutod female away probably to eat.


And she could see if they moved along the waters a few more bends away there was a few clefts in the rockery were water gathers and was heated from proximity to thermal vents. Thin vapors of steam rose. Also she spotted not far from where Duncan and Addy sheltered to wait out the big boys play was some soap flower bush and she grins hopping lightly down to gather some.


taking a small branch back to Addy and the child first, but glad she knew where more was the guys would possibly need it and some soft light fingers to get mud out of hard to reach areas.

Leo also dives in going underwater as Raphael rushes forward. He goes underwater, aiming to get behind his counterpart, but he doesn't want to give away what he's doing until the larger turtles are actually grappling. He grabs some mud from the bottom, and when he feels Raphael make any sort of sustained contact, that's when he's up and out of the water, hopefully behind his counterpart.

Addy chuckles and nods, " ball pleeease." but even with that gentle reminder and blinking as it seemed to her Leo vanished in the moments it took to retrieve the sponge coral ball from the tube and give it to the small turtle to play with and look back, not worried about Lilo, following her with an ear as she moves, sniffing the air when she brings back soap flowers... niiiice she drags her fingers around a twig gather leaves and the waxy feeling flowers in her hands and wetting them release fragrance and starting on Duncan lathering up the strange sap of this plant that was a pretty decent soap substitute when no milking animals to get it from.


this time watching the four turtles closely...


Leonardo oddly seemed to not be dodging...

Leonardo grins- he let the mud hit, he shifts out into the deeper part of the water, waiting... waiting...


He wasn't sure what he was going to do once Leo and Raphael got closer and he was curious to see if Raph would come to - one went below water, fast and silent barely a ripple and his big brother was coming at him. Raph a bit back but also landing a blow with his mud toss to.


But he sensed a moment would arise and this weird spar would end humourously...


And he was in a excellent mood.

Raph is content to stay back! And will be, at least until he’s hit with something. He will let the crazy ninjas be crazy. He doesn’t want to get his shell kicked for fun! However, he’s also doesn’t want to draw Little Leo’s ire, so... he’ll throw mud. But if Raphael and Little Leo are close to Big Leo, and get splattered, so be it!

Moving forward in the water and maybe his progress faltered a few times - Leonardo was not putting effort into dodging them.


It was hard to tell to untrained eyes or those who didn't have a clutch of brothers -

but to them three it should be plain as daylight -


Leonardo seemed to be deliberately stepping into the line of fire, shifting to deeper water making it easier for Leo to swim around and there he was in perfect range for Raph -


Raphael couldn't figure out the game... what did his brother have in mind?


Maybe Leo would know being a Leo and all?

Leo's not sure what his counterpart is doing, in part because he can come up with several reasons. And none of them end well for the aggressors... Whatever he is doing, this is too easy, and Leo comes up behind Leonardo and holds his position. Nope. He's not jumping into this. Not yet. Though, he gathers more mud and slings it at his counterpart's back. And he shifts a bit so there's more of a triangle around Leonardo.

What aaaarrree you doing? Leo waits for another clue.

Leonardo grins over his shoulder feeling the splatter, he had mud all over him and - spinning he delivers his own return fire, watching, waiting, enticing them closer in arms reach, not sure yet if he wanted to go the route of dodging his Raphael last moment either landing him on Leo or at least in his way...


Or in dodging having to trip him into Raph's way -


but still there had to be something more -


And he was trying not to give away at this moment he had several small ideas in mind but was not settled on anything just yet.


He wanted them all closer...

Raphael growls a little, it sounded like a lion or bear, deep and rumbling, the look on his face mockingly dangerous, all in play still - they had Leonardo surrounded...


He grins and lunges at him -


Not entirely sure if that was a good idea but going for it anyways -

Oh! there he was!


She watches interestedly - it look like they had big blue dead to right there caught in a triangle and surrounded.


And she was interested with how the next bit would go even if she was washing the little boy completely clean - now with Lilo's help.

Ohh... Leo's pretty sure it's a terrible idea, but he also moves, shifting his position slightly so he's out of Raphael's direct line of attack. He also positions himself in a way that it would be at least a little more difficult to deflect Raphael in his direction. His movements are silent, even in the fairly deep water.

He keeps back for the moment, mud in hand. Waiting to see if they two actually do anything. Are they actually going to grapple? He hopes so. As Raph lunches, Leo moves as well. Though hie's a step behind Raphael, which should give him time to evaluate what Leonardo is doing before he actually makes contact. He has no illusions about actually being the one on control here. He knows absolutely that his counterpart knows what he's doing and probably has a dozen ways out of the spot he's in at the moment.

Duncan for the first time was probably making washing him hard - he wriggled and giggled and wouldn't stay still leaning and turning or twisting to keep watching the big turtles.


And fighting himself too - he was growing tired with the soft hands on him and the soothing cool of the water, the sweet smell holding his ball close and now and then sucking on it.

Raph almost didn't even realize he'd done it as he automatically evened out the triangle around Big Blue. He does keep his distance though, and flings more mud. Some of it missed wide and hit Little Blue, but Raph doesn't care. He'll tag anyone at the moment!

Aw man, the others are charging... Well... fine. He'll play. He starts moving in too, keeping low, well under what would normally be Leonardo's center of gravity. That said... it's an intense Leo, so... Raph's pretty sure he's about to get tossed.

He's committed now - and seeing Leonardo turn to meet him he crashes against his brother their plastrons meeting with loud clacks and scraps.


And Raph's coming in! he grins at his counterpart if he wasn't sort of winded from crashing into Leonardo he might have warned him to aim at knees.

Leo doesn't bother wiping off the mud that the little Raph hit him with. He's already moving for Leonardo.

Raph stays low, aiming for the back of the Larger Leo's knee.

For a hot second, Leo considered going high even giving a particularly convincing fake as he had actually intended to try going high onto the other turtle's shell, but at the last moment, Leo dives low joining Raph in the attempt to take Leonardo's legs out from under him.

Ack!


Winded and breathless, but enjoying the clash of powerful bodies Leonardo sacrificed precious seconds that would allow him to escape Raph and Leo and focuses on first rendering giant Raphael a giant puddle of turtle goop.


Ick terrible mental imagery he was gonna have to seek out female company some time later.


Meantime he feels Raph and Leo closing in, and whilst they couldn't see it he strokes a long finger over the curve of his brothers jaw liw then under the very point of his chin.


Pressing into the point. This was a point only found on this Raphael. He doesn't know if other Raphaels' share it or not, he might be able to find out...


Grinning when his red clad brothers playing growl becomes a loud rumbling churr and he collapses onto his shell in the water. Creating waves and bobbing like a buoy -


Leonardo had enough time for a single hah before there were more turtles on him.


He grins and goes with the shift of his gravity. Reaching out for the little Raph - time to see if he had the same 'spot' or learn where the point was.


It was almost a pressure point. But not quiet. Literally Leonardo had seen April delight in discovering it on Raph because it'd make the giant violent teedy bear turn into a real teddy turtle. Sometimes even kick his leg like a puppy and chur and tail wag at prolonged touching the spot.


Donatello's was located at the nape of his neck. And He too would go limp.


Michelangelo had one along his left clavicle.


None had yet worked out yet... his was his adams apple. His sexual partners came close kissing or licking or sucking close there on occasion but in those moment sit did nothing but heighten his pleasure.


Donnie said the spot might be clusters of nerves left over from their mutation.


Whatever - it was possible these other turtles did not have one. But he was going to find out! Making no effort to squirm away from Leo or Raph, in fact it might feel like he was attempting to tickle them.

Which is also a valid method of escape.

Raph is also a puddle of goo, now that Leonardo's finished with him. He does in fact have a similar spot, and he's now floating happily, tail wagging, drifting in the current. If there's something he should be doing, he's completely unaware of it because... the water is niiiiiiiice... Everything is niiiiiice...

He churrs softly, and is an extremely contented turtle. Raph had not been aware of such a pressure point type spot, but Leonardo sure knew about it! Raph rolls over in the water a couple times, still churring and wagging his tail.

Oh, so that's the way we're playing, huh? Alright, let's play. While Leonardo is making his move to 'subdue' the little Raph, Leo uses the moment to jump up, trying to get onto the larger turtle's back, or at least on his side.

Once upon a time, he had been subject to a decidedly awkward training session when Raph had managed to put him in a headlock at juuuust the right angle... And Leo is attempting to recreate the event on his counterpart. Though he's not sure he has time to get an arm around Leonardo's neck. So he instead moves to slip a hand in there. Unfortunately, Leo knows the larger turtle is quicker than he looks, and Leo will be leaving himself slightly open too... Well... it's a risk he'll take. Hopefully the time it will take to get out of the position he'd been in to get the little Raph will be enough for Leo to make his move.

Chuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrr! so loud and rumbly he was making water vibrate around him like an alligator.


Not that he'd known that, eyes closed and star fishing tail wagging and a huge goofy grin in place.


He didn't even recall the growled Nooooooo had become his churring and forgot everything in the moments of bliss.


Yep all was right with the world. He was so large he caused a bit of a dam just ahead of his counterpart, his foot and star fished hand reaching clean across a narrowed bit of the waters and caused a blockade for his rolling counterpart to rest up against.

Huh?!


she and Duncan and Lilo all freeze watching - what happened?!


One moment the big turtles clashed, the other two vanished underwater then the Raphs were floating away....


Oh wait not too far... Addy trying not to giggle at the sight of the two red masked turtles floating and churring and generally looking post mating blissful.


Her gaze turns back to the two blue wearing turtles...

Leonardo didn't dodge, amused wondering if his counterpart figured out what he is doing now the two Raphs are very very happy...


And not dodging eventhough his scaley hide bumped in their version of gooseflesh and he sensed yes his counterpart knew what he was doing, Leonardo happy to let this be Leo victory - just


Slow, only just finding his counterparts spot as he senses the hand is coming for his - meaning to stroke at the exact same time and send them both into that blissful state, maybe himself a moment ahead of Leo.

And... he's sort of known that this is how this would go down. Still, they're going to go down together. It's actually strangely fitting... Here we go again... At least he wouldn't be the only turtle wiggling around blissfully this time...

Leo rolled down his counterparts back and hit the water. When he came up, he sighed happily as he floated downstream toward the Raphael dam.

Duncan -


Huhed and immediately tried to follow the floating big turtles.


He would have let go of one of those sounds meant for Leo if not Addy and Lilo were not giggling and Addy picking him up then following the floating wiggling shells.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The delighted sigh and still the blockade Raphael turns head slowly to gaze at his fellow turtles. " damn ya Leonardo." totally fake grumble grumble -


Because those churrs were still loud and delighted and vibrating.

Addy wasnot entirely sure what happened... and boy did the big guys all look so happy!


She scooped up the soft sweet smelling and clean Duncan and checking that Lilo remained close moved off after the shells. Watching in amusement Raph's wriggling and Raphaels lazy demeanour. Moving around towards Leo, " yooooous okay?" tone all full of laughter.


Well it was quiet the sight to see really!

Leonardo slumped into the water. And boy did he mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!


Toes and fingers wriggling in delight tail wagging away and he could barely musted a snicker when Raphael grumps at him oh sooo lazily, feeling so utterly jelly boned he could barely muster the 'middle finger' in Raphael's general direction.


Well what he hoped was the general direction - he could barely recall his own name thank you!


churrs adding to the rumble of Raphael's in the water and would have been glad for the blockade.

Leo floated into Raphael's side and he is unknowingly practically cuddling with the big guy, churring contentedly. For no reason other than it's right there, he lazily runs a finger along Raphael's side, just around the edge of his plastron.

He hears Addy's voice and just manages to look over at her.

"Mmm hmmm...."

Ooohhhh... she smells good... If she didn't have Duncan with her, he'd pull her down to join them. Maybe that spot behind Klunk's left ear that turns him to goo will work on her too... He'll have to find out sometime... later...

He is blissfully ignorant that he's probably about to become sandwiched between the larger turtles. And... that's juuuuust fine right now...

Lilo follows over and is giggling her tail tip flicking the very end of Raph's waggy tail so very amused- and it showed, " you guys are being very adorable for big tough turtles." she muses out loud shifting Raphael a little so that they could continue downstream a little more with the lazy turtles just floating along on their shells.


Hahaha it was cute!

Duncan leaned out over Leo as Addy shifted him in her arms, he reaches down small fingers brushing the bigger turtles shoulders and neck and face giggling, he wasn't sure what had just happened but Leo looked happy so he Duncan was happy.

" Leeoooo good? goood? wins?" asking ball still clasped in his other hand tightly and knees gripping into Addy's sides.

Raphael shiiiiivered, the deep rumbling growing - and usually he'd shove away from the cuddling, but right now - it was just right!
a big lay hand brushing the other turtles just making sure he could count four and make sure his counterpart was up right like themselves... and


His tail wags, " You ladies should should join us... mmmmm put the boy on the turtle raft - he'll be safe..."


And those gals smelled soooo fiiiiine - soooo very fine - his big fingers brushing his Leonard's elbow, Leo's bicep right alongthe curve of muscle and his own counterparts knee - light touches his big strong hand counting and assuring himself they were all there.

Raphael's big hand was just moving away - briefly brushing the little foot of the little turtle, Leonardo grins up at the sky. " yes yous should pretty ladies... mmmmm need to do this more often." just become sloth turtles. And who knows when they will next be called to action?


To fight and or kill and or fuck more.... to have a moment like this of relaxation normally only found at the end of one of those three options was a moment to just relish.


He is content therefore with a chuckle, " yes little one, Leo won."

Raph had been face down in the water, still happily wagging his tail. Since he is a turtle and amphibious, he was juuuuust fine holding his breath. He does, however, roll over just as Raphael checks on his blissed out traveling companions. He feels the touch to the knee and rolls again, all the way around this time, so he's still facing upward. There's a long contented sigh.

Duncan is probably safe enough on the turtle raft, just... might not want to put him on Raph. He's still a little prone to rolling over.

"Uh huh... goooood."

Leo doesn't even know who's touching his bicep, but it feels niiiiice. And he churrs a little louder.

And he can't help but correct his counterpart. Even though Duncan probably won't know what it means.

"Draw..."

Another sigh, and Leo traces the edge of Raph's plastron once more before searching for the others. Someone that isn't the big Raph is against his left leg and moving way too much. Must be the rolly, little Raph, because his own counterpart is up higher.

"Yes, float with us." He reaches out and gently tries to pull Addy closer.
