Rise of the Kaiju Mutant Ninja Turtles
Commission by @cjsyrup
AU where there's no mutants or yokai, but kaiju. They can vary from 8 feet to hundreds of feet tall. They are a type of megafauna that are the result of Empyrean mutation combined with evolution over the course of billions of years. They are a natural part of the world and are akin to wild animals.
The boys are turtle kaiju variants that are further mutated in to the humanoid forms that we are familiar with, making them a major anomaly in this universe.
They're not too different from canon except they are about 50 feet tall and will continue to grow to be larger than skyscrapers in their adulthood.
This story is focused on comedy, action, romance, and a LOT of fluff. We don't like unnecessary levels of angst and whump around here. I love these boys and they will be live/laugh/love and learning while I'm in charge.
Here's the original post to start if you're interested in big turtle boys .
Size chart and comparisons.
I'M WRITING A STORY NOW! Will update whenever I feel like writing something.
Kaiju Profiles!
Raph, Leon, Don, and Mikey.
Kaiju Cowboys
That's right! The AU has an AU now!
In this it's the Old West and instead of "kaiju" we have spirits! They take on many forms, many of which are giant creatures, and are at odds with the new humans settling into their territories. That's where the boys come in. They're "Great Spirits" that bring balance between humans and spirits....or at least they try to.
A lot of this AU is co-written with @songdrop as he has given me many great ideas. He's responsible for this going from "lol sexy cowboy turtles" to "we can pack so much lore into this baby."
I'll add more to it but for now just follow the tag.
Lion Turtle AU
This is a crossover AU with Avatar the Last Airbender where the boys are the lion turtles instead.
In this version of the story the Fire Nation brought the elements out of balance to such a degree that bending itself had been affected. Aang not only has to master bending all four elements and stop the Fire Lord, but he also needs to convince the Lion Turtles to aid him in returning balance to said elements.
Unfortunately for him, the Lion Turtles are not fans of the Avatar.
