Description Don't ask me where THIS one came from.

Okay, actually, this came from an idea that had been running around my mind for awhile now in relation to my in-progress BMFM/TMNT crossover fanfic, "Of Biker Mice and Ninja Turtles". I had entertained the idea for awhile of making Leo Wolf's LifeMate in some of the later chapters, but due to different reasons (I prefer a Wolf-Raph pairing, actually), it just kinda/sorta fell by the wayside.

You might notice that Leo is a bit scarred up here and has lost his right eye. Well, that comes from the fic-idea that I had for him. See, the ROUGH idea behind this was that Raph, Donnie and Mikey get captured and held hostage by Wolf's worst and most-hated enemy, another female Martian Mouse named Mirage, who also trained as a Ninja under the same Master as Wolf, Master Sandstorm, before a strange illness stole her mind and she went mad and turned rouge. Mirage, who from somewhere has gotten the idea that Leo is Wolf's chosen mate, has determined that she's going to put a stop to this by TAKING her hated enemy's chosen, thereby desroying her happiness. So she captured the other Turtles, then leaves Leo a note to the effect that if he wants to see his brothers alive again, he'll meet her at a specified location. Or else.

Leo, of course, being the conscientious brother and leader that he is, does exactly this, and is allowed to see and talk to his captive brothers before Mirage herself shows up and says she wants to discuss a matter of importance with him. He agrees, and, once they are alone, just the two of them, she very bluntly informs him that, if he wants his brothers to go free, and NOT be bothered again, he'll surrender himself to her, and obey her every whim. Leo wants to know if she will keep her word, because THAT is the ONLY way that he'll submit to her demands. She very indignantly informs him that she ALWAYS keeps her word, which, in point of fact, she always does. He wants to know what his service to her will involve, and she very bluntly informs him that his service TO her will be in her bed-chambers ONLY (I leave you all to figure out what THAT means!), fulfilling her every desire. Leo, of course, tumbles to her meaning VERY quickly, and, being that he IS a warrior, the mere thought of being only a bed-toy to her sickens him, quite naturally. She then informs him that IF he does NOT agree, his brothers will ALL suffer that fate. Seeing no way out of it, Leo submits, asking only to be allowed to talk to his beloved brothers one last time and say "good-bye" to them. He also wishes to place his equally-beloved and treasured katanas in Raphael's keeping until he see them again. He asks how long his "service" to her will be, and she merely says, "Til I'M done with you." Which Leo reads, quite correctly, to mean that he will be her slave til she tires of him.

Once their conversation is done, he's allowed to see his bros again, and Mirage orders her second-in-command, a huge male Mouse named Dagger, to give Leo the keys to the cages that the other Turtles are confined in, so that he can free them, and then untie them. Once free, Raph urges Leo to make a break for it, all of them, only to have his big brother sadly inform him, and Donnie and Mikey, that he has struck a bargain with Mirage for THEIR freedom, but not his own. Raph demands to know what it is, and Leo tells him. The three are shocked speechless, but not more so than when he slips his sheathed katanas from his back and places them in the stunned Raphael's care, with a tearful hug, and a whispered, "Take care of them for me, okay?" It doesn't take Raph long to figure out that it ISN'T just his katanas that Leo is talking about.

Their parting is a short one, as Mirage appears and tells the other Turtles that they are now free to go. Not that they want to, but they do, however reluctantly, after telling Leo to take care and that they'll take care of not only themselves, but Master Splinter, April and Casey, as well. Just before Raph leaves his sight, Leo asks him to wear his katanas for him, so they'll always be close to each other. Raph, with tears in his eyes, says he will, then, reluctantly, he, Donnie and Mikey leave...AFTER he has slipped the shoulder-belt of Leo's katanas over his own shoulder, to wear them til he sees his big brother, and twin, again.

It will be awhile before this happens, as you can guess.

Anyway, once his brothers are gone, Leo submits to having his wrists and ankles shackled, though he reminds Mirage that he gave her his word of honor that he is now hers, and he would NOT try to escape. Mirage tells him it is simply a precaution on her part and that she ISN'T worried about him attempting to escape, word of honor or no, because they will not be on Earth much longer, anyway. When she tells him this, the now-shackled Leo realizes that she intends to take him somewhere OFF-planet, where his brothers wouldn't be able to mount a rescue even if they wanted to!

A few hours later, Mirage's words prove true, as Leo finds himself taken aboard her personal cruiser, and transported far across the galaxy, to the planet called Ciros4, Mirage's long-time home since leaving Mars some years before. Here it is that his humilating service to his new "mistress" begins.

Nothing need be said of his ordeal; I leave THAT to YOUR fertile imaginations. Suffice it to say, he suffers much in her service, learning just how mercurial her temper can be during the course of that service.

And it finally gets to the point that even Mirage's cousin and second-in-command, Dagger, who has come to like and respect Leo, can no longer stand to see the young ninja suffer so at his cousin's hands, so he helps him to escape, joining him and promising to help him get home.

Before this, however, Dagger knows Leo needs new weapons, so he takes him to a tribe of Cirosian natives who live in the hills behind Mirage's estate, to their shamaness, who has knowledge of a pair of legendary swords that can only be won by a warrior of great courage,and more importantly, of high honor. She instructs the swiftly-healing Leo in what he must know and do to be able to win these fabled blades, called the "Dragon Katanas", and he determines to do so. Once fully healed, he does just that, winning the respect of the tribe, and even more so of Dagger, who has come to look upon him as a little brother.

Once Leo has fully healed, and won his new weapons, he and Dagger leave Ciros4, and eventually, after many adventures and vissitudes, find their way to Mars. Here, the young ninja is reunited with Wolf, who left Earth some years before to fight in the renewed Martian/Plutarkian War. And it is during THIS time that Leo ralizes that he has, indeed, fallen in love with Wolf, and she with him. Consequently, the pair become LifeMates, and Leo is accepted into the Resistance, eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenent-Commander. This is the outfit he's wearing in my pic of him here.

Anyway, long story short (?!), he grows to love Mars, as well as his mate's people, and determines to stay and serve the planet and people that he has come to love so dearly. And eventually, he is reunited with the family he was torn from so heartlessly 10 years before, and they come to choose to make Mars their home, as well, as, in they scenario in this abandoned version of my fanfic, the Plutarkians have full-out invaded Earth, accomplishing what the Tricerations failed, the total conquest of Earth, and the near-eradication of her native races, which prompted the evacuation, under the auspices of the Martian government, of any and all Terrans who had no desire to be the slaves of the stinkfish. This INCLUDED Leo's family, whom he, Wolf and a Freedom Fighter patrol eventually find in a refugee-camp run by a band of Martian Rats, and run badly. Anyway, once he is reunited with the older brother he long thought lost to him, Raph attempts to return Leo's original katanas to him...only to have Leo gently tell him that he's earned to right to keep them. Which he does.

And so went this abandoned version of my fic. However, I just consider the art that I did for it too good to just let lay in my TMNT art folder, so I decide to share them with everybody. I hope you like my rather...er, UNUSUAL...take on the Turtles' conscientious young leader.

Oh, bear in mind that he's about 28 years old in this pic, 10 years having passed since he surrendered to Mirage to save his brothers from the fate that HE suffered at her hands. (All fout Turtles are 18 years old in my ongoing fic.)

Oh, and the lineart version of this will be uploaded to my "craps" Gallery before long. I hope y'all like IT as much as you do this version.

Oh, yeah, the inevitable disclaimer:

So did she beat him or what? That is why we love Leo willing to do ANYTHING to keep his bros safe.So if you abandoned this version then did you make another one because if not then I think this one deserves reconsideration. BTW I didn't know the biker mice from mars was a real show until I saw it here.

Are you sure you want to abandon that fic idea? Personally, I think it sounded good. I love the scene between Leo and Raph where Leo gives Raph is katanas. It's a summary and I wanted to cry!

The pic is really cool, even if I was wondering how Leo found Sonic's universe. (hey, the turtles wouldn't be so "weird-looking" there. Just tall!)

And thankies FOR liking it AND +Faving it! I've had a lot of folks tell me that they don't like Leo with scars and an eyeptch (my youngets niece, the biggest Leo fan in my family, was one of 'em). I'm glad that you're one who does.

And thankies for the compliment on it!

I don't mind the scars at all...they 'have' been through many fights so it stands to reason that they would have them.

Oh, Lordy, you got THAT right!

And leave us not forget time to eat. Gotta stick THAT in somewhere.

Good, I'm glad. I'm thinking about adding scars to later pics of them. The reason being something that Leo said in the "The Shredder Strikes", Part 1 ep, where he's talking to Saki, as said something along the lines of "I have the scars to prove that YOU guys are the enemy!" . (Or some such thing.)

Hey, they're warriors, right? And warriors get scars. And if folks DON'T like my giving them the scars, they can go take a flying leap off the nearest high building! I'm drawing them the way that I see them!

Cool and thankies! I'm glad that you do! I actually came up with a name for those swords. I call them the "Dragon Katanas". Catchy, huh?

raphsmine In reply to whitewolf89 [2007-07-15 18:16:30 +0000 UTC]

Hey, I think everyone pretty much draws them the way they see 'em, which is what I love the most about this place, so many unique styles, so you just keep on doing what you do!

I love to see every kind of drawing. I mean, there are some that are just sketches, but the curve of a line, or a part of a pose, an expression or just the way a smile was drawn can catch my attention as much as a highly detailed pic...know what I mean?

The Dragon Katanas....hmmm....that 'is' catchy! When I saw those handles it made me think of the Lost Episodes of the show.

whitewolf89 In reply to raphsmine [2007-07-17 05:45:45 +0000 UTC]

This is true. I know that I draw them different from someone like, say, Tigerfog, but that's the whole point. If we ALL drew them the same way, where would the VARIETY be, for Pete's sake?! I'll tell you: nowhere, and DA (and countless art-sites LIKE it would be pretty DULL places!

Oh, don't worry, I will. Til they have to pry the pencil from my cold dead fingers!

Absolutely, I do. I do, too. Like Tigerfog said on HIS website, "Obscure Zodiac", a few days ago, "Even just a bit of variety in the thickness of a line can make a big difference, adding more weight to some elements and emphasize some characters that would otherwise be hard to distinguish within a ton of snowflakes". And he's 100% right.

Heh, thankies. I was trying to think of a name that wasn't so...oh, I don't know...Terran...in origin. See, like the description on this pic says, when Leo GOT them, he wasn't ON Earth, but on a planet called Ciros 4 (one that I made up, actually). But I couldn't come up with a suitably NON-Terran name for them (I'm still working on that, so the "Dragon Katanas" name is a tentative WORKING name), so this what I came up with at the time. Never MIND the fact that the fic connected to this pic is kinda/sorta in Limbo, thanks to my Raph-Muse's nagging.

(Heh, but what HE doesn't KNOW is, I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about resurrecting it. Hehehe................)

It did? Really? Wow, I'll consider THAT a compliment...considering that I haven't been fortunate enough to SEE them yet! (Well, okay, I've seen "Membership Drive", but that's it.) And won't be able to see the majority of them til January 2008! Which bites, but at LEAST, the nitwits at 4CrudsTV have FINALLY wised up enough to fianlly AIR them!

whitewolf89 In reply to kalenthi [2007-04-28 05:43:13 +0000 UTC]

Thankies for the compliment! If you like it THIS much, then I accomplished what I was aiming for.

And yeah, me, too. Nothing irritates me more than a pic of someone who's SUPPOSED to BE a warrior (LIKE Leo and his brothers; etc.), but still yet, the artist doesn't (or won't) show this.

On THAT subject, I don't know if you've seen the gift-pic version of this that I did for my niece, Ashley, but all that is is a Xerox (copier) copy of THIS one. (I usually make copies of my originals, just in case of flub-ups, 'cause I can NEVER draw a pic the exact same way TWICE in a row.) Leo is her fave among the Turtles, and when I had the lineart work for this pic done, she asked me if I'd do her one like it. I said okay, made a copy, and started to give it to her when she very pointedly told me that she DIDN'T like the scars and the eyepatch, and could I get RID of them somehow BEFORE I colored it? NEVER wanted to STRANGLE a kid so bad in all my life as I did her right then! (SHE was just lucky that she was about 7 at the time, AND that her Aunt Wolfie LOVES her as much as she does, which is why I DIDN'T strangle her!) Anyway, after fighting down my "murderous" (j/k) impulses, I got out the old Whiteout, and ver carefully went over the scars and eyepatch, made another copy, colored it so that Leo had the skin color that he does in the TMNT toon, and gave it to her. THEN very bluntly told her that if she EVER wanted me to do a pic like that for her again, to PLEASE tell about her dislikes FIRST! Which she has....so FAR, anyway.

And thankies! I wanted a kind of different look for the Dragon Katanas, as I call them, so that's the design that I came up with. (And Leo likes 'em, too. )

Heh, thankies, to both.

And actually, he got them on Mars, not Earth. He joined the Martian Resistance, and became a biker, as well as a Freedom Fighter. The gloves were a gift from my BMFM fan-char, Wolf, who became his LifeMate in an AU version of my BMFM/TMNT crossover fanfic, "Of Biker Mice and Ninja Turtles". Consequently, he treasures them as much as he does her or his katanas. So you have a SHELL of a time getting them away from him. But, if you asked them nicely, he or Wolf might get you your own pair..............

He's about 28 years old in this, btw.

Thankies for the compliement, hazlov.

And if you mean the story that went along with THIS version of Leo, unfortunately, no, and I doubt that it ever will be (although you never know when it comes to my sneaky l'il ever-shifting plot-bunny mind! ). It cam about as a course of the fic that I was THINK about taking but decided to shelve for awhile to see how other things worked out. The idea, thanks to my VERY insistant (read: infinitely pesky and determined) Leo-Muse, is working its way into my thought-processes, though....MUCH to my Raph-Muse chagrin and intense aggrevation! As you can pretty much guess. *smirks*

Anyway, if you want to read the current version (or rather, snippets thereof), check my reply to you on my Main/index page; I sent you 3 URL-addies where I have current installments of Chapter 1 posted. Enjoy and happy reading!

This is a nice pic. I really like the design. Leo looks away cool which his scars and that jecket. The designs on the sword hilts are sweet, too. And though he does look nice with a blaster, I don't see Leo's personality as one to ever carry one. Maybe Raph or Mikey, but Leo's always been like the "guns require no skill to be dangerous and have no honor' type personality. But I still think the whole pic is really cool to look at. I also think a BMFM/TMNT crossover would be pretty cool to see. Two very different types of fighting styles there. Ninja stealth vs ....what do you call what Vinnie does? lol Anything but quiet, that's for sure!

Ah, I miss that show. Later!

whitewolf89 In reply to Ty-Chou [2005-11-12 19:48:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, on all counts.

And I tend to agree with you one the blaster, as would Leo and Wolf, BOTH of whom are Ninjas. Neither like guns in general, and if Wolf had HER way, she's NEVER touch one. But you have to remember that in my crossover fic, she's ALSO a Freedom Fighter, NOT just a ninja, as is Leo in this pic. Neither would wear them IF they didn't have to, but if you read the description that goes with this pic, you'll notice that Leo is a Lieutenet-Commander in the Martian Resistance in this. Hence the blaster (which he does NOT wear in his off-duty life. Nor does Wolf, as far as THAT goes. BOTH are honorable Ninjas, and conduct themselves as such, outside their lives as Freedom Fighters), which he normally loathes.

And if you venture over to Tigerfog's "Obscure Zodiac' forum, Mikey'sTMNT.com forum, OR the alternate Drome Forum, you'll see that I have the first chapter of said BMFM/TMNT fanfic posted on them (the one at the alternate Drome is complete, btw. Chapter 1, I mean). I would like it a lot if you'd read what I have posted and give me a critique.

And I'm glad you like my humble scribblings. I love YOUR art.

I like the concept, but I'm not keen with a katana user having a gun. Does not match.

Well, NORMALLY I would totally agree with you (as would Leo...rather emphatically, in fact!), but at THIS stage in his life (in the currently-in-limbo AU version of my BMFM/TMNT crossover fanfic), Leo is a member of the Martian Resistance, and even though he normally HATES guns (which you saw if you read the FULL description that I did with the pic), being a Freedom Fighter, he knows that guns are just part of the deal. He dislikes it, as does Whitewolf, who is ALSO a Ninja (Martian variety), as well as a Freedom Fighter, but they have accepted the fact that guns are just part of the job of being FFs.

I'm glad you like the pic otherwise, though.

Peace.

Hey, that's okay. No biggie. You just stated something about Leo that was true, that's all. Although it rather begs the question as to WHY he used a Triceraton-type blaster in Part 5 of the "Turtles in Space" ep-arc, "Triceraton Wars".

And that's cool. They DO look an awful lot a like. The Gift Pic to my niece is just minus the scars on Leo's body and the eyepatch over his right eye, is all. Oh, and his skin-color is it's NORMAL emerald-green, rather than being the same color as Raph's.

Peace.

Yeah, I've seen that one, and I like it a great deal. It's one of my faves of Leo, in fact.

And yeah, the scars ARE similar, and I like the way you did Leo's eye-scar. To each his own, as they say.

You know, the boys ARE warriors, and warriors collect scars. I wonder WHY more TMNT artists never DRAW them WITH scars. I've seen very few who do. You, Tigerfog, me, and a few others, but that's it. Weird, isn't it?

Peace.
