Lou Jitsu - Blog Posts
ok hear me out- au where splinter actually focuses on training the boys and teaching them about their hamato ancestry from the beginning
he chooses to prioritize the threat of the shredder and other dangers over his own reluctance to combat and, inadvertently, his son's selves.
and instead of being able to just be kids, they have to discover themselves and their individuality later on

AND THE CROWD CHEERED
Some more old concept sketches…I was told that Lou Jitsu was a ‘baby girl’.. can someone explain that to me please?
So, I've been seeing all this TMNT AU stuff and it got me inspired. What did I do with this inspiration? Made an MLP inspired Lou Jitsu. Might expand this later if I feel like it. Thinking of designing this universe's Leo, if anyone's interested. Thanks for reading.
Alright so update on the story, its gonna be uploaded to AO3. Bare with me its gonna be a work in progress, I've got 2 chapters plus the prolouge done (Just need to type it all out 😭). Grammer is still gonna suck no matter what I do, so for now I will just post it as is until the story is finished and then work my way around and fix it as needed lol.
Welp finally finished the prologue! If you guys actually like this series I'll definitely have to make more! (I would have made more chapters anyway to challenge my brain. 😂) Don't mind the grammer, but if you see anything wrong don't be afraid to say something.
Prologue

...
"Ready or not here I come April!" Said the black haired girl, determined to find her best friend...but first she searches her room, just in case she was in here, but nope she finds no sign of April. The girl leaves to go check the other areas, hoping to find her.
She checks the kitchen first, nope shes not here surprisingly, since April likes to raid her fridge for drinks and food...sometimes. She then checks the living room, not here either.
With that she goes running towards her parents room, knocking on the door as she opens it.
"Mom, dad have you seen April? Were playing hide and seek." The girl asks but goes silent upon seeing a new face, one that looks familiar to her.
It can't be.
Everyone turns to look at the girl.
"My my, so this is your daughter Layla, she's got your looks for sure." The new figure says as her mother chuckles.
"I would hope so Lou, but she's got her fathers personality down to a pat. Isnt that right dear?"
The girl watches her father chuckle as he comes over and picks her up. "Not just my personality she has hun, she has your intelligence and sassy attitude love." The father says as he looks down at his daughter.
"As for your friend April, I would suggest looking outside sweetie. Now run along, your mother and I got some business to deal with." With that he ruffles his daughters hair before placing her back down.
The girl smiles and thanks her parents, but as she turns to leave she glances back at the man standing beside her mother.
Something about him unerves the girl, but she smiles and waves as she runs outta the room in search of April.
She listens to what her father said and goes outside to check.
As she wanders around, she thinks about the man she saw. Her mother called him Lou right? He can't be the famous movie actor Lou Jitsu...can he?
As she thinks about it her eyes widen, as she realises it was the famous Lou Jitsu. As she recalls seeing him on tv, she was a pretty big fan herself since she knew his signature catch phrase and watched all his movies.
The girl couldn't believe it, Lou Jitsu knows her parents!
As the girl is lost in thought, she runs into a tree, groaning in pain from the impact on her poor little face.
"Kay?!" Exclaims April, but more so in worry.
"She saw that." Kay says quietly to herself, as she turns to where the sound of her best friends voice is.
She watches as her friend jumps down from the treehouse, running over to check on her friend. "That looked like it hurt, you okay Karise?" April asks worriedly.
Karise smiles and laughs at her curly haired friend, nodding at her concerned friend.
"I'm okay. Wanna play something else?" She asks her friend.
April points to the sky and sighs. "Its late Kay, I have to go home before mom and dad start looking for me."
With that the girls hug each other as they say their goodbyes, both having made plans to hangout tomorrow.
Not realising that things are about to change for the worst.
Karise should have known something was off with him from the beginning, but she wouldn't have expected this.
She heads back inside, only to be greeted with a strong sickening stench, as it wafts through the air around her.
She pinches her nose as her face scrunched up in disgust.
Where is that smell coming from and why is it strong?
Her stomach churns as a thought comes to mind.
Are her parents okay? What if something happened?
With that thought, she dashes to her parents room, flinging the door open. Startled by the gruesome sight before her.
Red.
All she sees is red or rather blood, and a message.
"Happy 5th birthday Karise." The message reads.
Tears begin to pull in her eyes as she sees her mother and father propped up against the wall, blood pulling underneath and onto the floor as it seeps outta fresh wounds.
No no no no no no.
She runs over to them, shaking her father awake. "Daddy wake up!" She cries out.
No response.
She goes over to try with her mother, only to recieve the same results.
She cries from realising that both her parents are dead.
She wipes away the tears on her sleeve as she gets up off the floor, knowing she can't be sad forever...its not what they would want.
She looks down at her parents, sadness washing over her as she wonders what to do now.
An idea pops into her head as she makes her way over to her mothers work desk. Karise opens the top drawer to see an old worn down leather notebook sitting on top of some folders. She grabs it and closes the drawer, as she focuses her attention on her mothers journal as she begins to open it, but quickly decides against it.
She remembers her mothers words clearly.
"Don't open my journal by any means Karise, should something ever happen to your father and I. Only then can you read it, but make sure you are safe first."
Karise knows she is not safe.
She runs back to her room and grabs her bookbag, sliding her mothers journal in as she goes and gathers some of her belongings.
After doing so Kay equips the backpack as she heads to the kitchen, making sure to grab plently of food and water, as puts them in her bag as well.
With that she sprints out of her house, not taking a glance back.
She can't go back, not now anyway.
It's late and she should be sleeping by now at home. Tooo bad she can't, she needs to get to somewhere safe first.
Karise realises how lost in thought she is when she wounds up in a city alleyway, one she doesnt remember. She stops for a moment to catch her breath, she can see how visible it has become.
Winter is soon approaching the girl thinks to herself, shivering when a gust of cold air hits her.
Luckily she threw on her blue hoodie beforhand.
Once she catches her breath she turns to continue her way forward, only to be slammed onto the ground.
Kay gasps in pain as her eyes widen in shock and fear.
Lou Jitsu?
He grins as she trembles in fear. Blood staining his blazer. "Finally I've been looking everywhere for you, your pretty fast kid." Lou says as he evily grins at her, wrapping a hand around the base of her neck.
He begins to choke her.
Karise's eyes widen as she screams for help.
"Keep your damn mouth shut! God kids are so fucking annoying. This is why I dont have any." He says angrily at her.
Someone please help me!
Karise wants to scream more but her airway is beginning to shut down by Lou choking her way to tightly.
...
As if someone heard her prayer, a man comes barreling outta nowhere and slams Lou Jitsu off of her.
The man in question looks behind him, turning to kneel down to her level as he holdd out his hand. A small smile adorning the man's face.
"Are you alright little one?" He asks softly, quietly, as if it would alarm her. She looks up at him, reaching out her little hand in his grasp as she nods.
"I am now. Thank you for saving me mister I appreciate it." Karise says as a smile forms onto her face. He lifts her up off the ground, helping her as she wipes away the dirt on her knees.
"My name is Baron Draxum, but you can call me Barry."
She smiles up at him.
"Karise Zirmei! Nice to meet you Barry!" She says happily.
Baron smiles down at the small child, letting his thoughts stir around as he wonders why she was out walking around alone. Where are her parents he questions.
"Tell me Karise, why are you out here all alone? Where are your parents?" Baron asks, watching as the small girl begins to tear up.
"They...there not waking up. They were covered in a lot of blood." Karise says as she cries softly.
Barons eyes widen.
He quickly bends down and pulls the child into his arms. "I'm so sorry little one...no one your age should ever have to loose her parents..." Barom says solemnly, comforting the girl as best as he can.
As he comforts Karise, he forgets about the man he shoved off of him. That is until a green liquid comes hurdling towards him, smashing into pieces up against his back.
He yells out in pain as he drops the child, his body contorting and shifting into something new.
"Forget about me did you?!" Lou yells out in anger.
In pain but not completely, Baron scoops the girl up into his arms and runs outta the alleyway, hoping to escape that mad man.
Kay watches in fascination as his body begins to transform.
She should be shocked from his new appearance, but she isn't.
I mean her mother is a Yokai after all...was a Yokai.
Layla was a red eared slider, but was able to take on a human appearance. Her father however was just a normal old human.
Chen loved her all the same when he found out, and boy was he shocked of course but it didn't change how he felt.
Afterall Karise was born...somehow.
As the girl thinks about her parents, she blinks in confusion as to where she is.
Karise takes a look at her surroundings.
She's not outside anymore, but in an old kinda torn down apartment.
"This is my home...I apologize for the mess...its never gotten this bad." Baron says as he places Karise down.
Kay looks at him, studying his new appearance now that he's no longer human.
He looks like a sheep.
She giggles to herself as Baron looks at her weirdly. "What do you find that is so funny child?" He asks in amusement. "You look like a sheep Barry!" She says in between fits of giggles.
His eyes widen as he panics. "What?!" He says with a startle.
Kay takes off her bookbag as she begins digging through it. Pulling out her small mirror, she hands it to him as he begins to inspect.
A gasp leaves his lips, shocked to see what he looks like now.
He's a tad horrified, but also curious, he supposes its to do with his scientific nature.
"Well this is now what I expected...as a scientist this is beyond my knowledge. What did he throw at me and how could this happen?" Baron says with curiosity. "I think it was that green ooze Lou threw at you." Kay says as Baron stops stroking his new beard.
"Green ooze?...!" Baron gasps in shock as he knows what hit him.
Mutagen.
He begins pacing back and forth as he explains what the green ooze...or rather mutagen is, as she sits down. Looking down at her from time to time to see if shes paying attention. She nods to him as he continues explaining in great detail of what is was gonna be used for.
"The formula I had made was incomplete...or so I had thought."
Did Lou Jitsu take it and finish it?
"It was suppose to be a scientific breakthrough but now..." Baron sighs as he walks over and looks out the window.
Kay frowns at this.
She gets up off the floor and walks over to Baron, as she wraps her little hand around his much bigger one. He turns his head downward and looks at her. "Do not worry about me Kay I will be alright...but now we have a bigger problem on our hands." Kay turns her head to meet his big brown eyes that are staring back at her.
"We need to stop Lou Jitsu." He says with determination.
Kay's eyes widen in disbelief...take on Lou Jitsu?
Karise must have looked scared as Baron ruffles her hair to qwell her fears. "Do not worry, I will teach you the art of Ninjitsu little one. So you may protect yourself. After all my father has taught me when I was your age once." Baron says as he smiles down at her.
Ninjitsu? She's heard that before from somewhere.
"Do you not know what Ninjitsu is?" Baron asks as the girl shakes her head no at first, but then nods. "Isn't it like fighting?" She asks.
He nods. "It is a form of fighting yes, but anyone can master it as long as you are brave enough to take on the challenge. Like my father and his father had done and so on, but do not fret I will explain it all, so take many notes little one. Your training will begin soon." Baron says as he watches the girl grow excited from what she is about to be taught.
With this a new story unfolds for the both of them.
If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask! Again don't mind the grammer (kinda suck when it comes to grammer) just enjoy the story. Also yes Baron Draxum is her step father! He's grown quite an attachment towards her and now he doesnt want to let her go and yes in this AU he was born human and is actually quite nice towards them...for the most part (he has a soft spot for children shhhh) but , I'll leave it up to your imagination at to what he would have looked like.
Here's child Karise! Not that good at drawing but hey it works lol. Your probably wondering to yourself who her step father is and why her parents are dead. All will be told in the prologue.
(If anyone wants to make a better version of child Karise feel free to do so, I would love to see it!)

The girl couldn't believe it, Lou Jitsu knows her parents!
If your wondering how her parents knew Lou Jitsu, well your gonna have to wait and find out. That's all im gonna write for now. I'm not the best when it comes to writing and im a little rusty...but nonetheless here you go! If you have any questions regarding Dark Descent please feel free to ask!
finally, something about new episodes. I think it’s not difficult to guess which one of them I liked the most.
