Today is your first day being an athletic trainer for the Hot Soup Gym, which, to anybody else, would be an exciting day, right?
Wrong.
It was actually one of the most stressful days of your life, why, you ask? Well, it was because of one man:
The Terrifying Terrapin.
His name wasn't actually "The Terrifying Terrapin" gods no, that would be terrifying (ha-ha, get it? because his name is...I'll stop talking), his real name was Leonardo Hamato. However, nobody knew him outside of that, all people saw in the ring was this monstrous turtle beating everybody to a pulp on screen. Almost every fight was like the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Johsua fight, except if Anthony Joshua was a giant terrifying turtle, instead of a giant terrifying man.
And lucky you! You happened to be recruited to be the new trainer for him! Yay... Now, it's not like you didn't want to, you were just nervous! You've never worked for a gym this prestigious before! Let alone a giant turtle! One wrong thing and he'd probably cut you up and feed him to his brothers for breakfast.
Oh, not to mention the fact that the other athletes at the gym were all Leonardo's brothers, all of them were turtles except for their father, Splinter Hamato (who was a rat...how does that work?) Yeah, it was just a whole family that loved to fight.
Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Swallowing down your fear, you stood in front of the door to enter the gym, your hand shaking as it hovered above the doorknob. From where you were standing, you could hear shouting and the sound of punches landing, totally fine. This is fine. This will be fine.
The moment you pushed open the door, you immediately braced for impact, waiting for something or someone to hit you.
"Leonardo!" A rough voice exclaimed, startling you. "Your new trainer is here!"
Slowly, you opened your eyes, not noticing they were closed, and you were greeted with the sight of a brown, furry creature standing in front of you. Immediately you recognized him as Splinter Hamato, the only face you knew that wouldn't eat yours.
"Coming, dad!" A cheery voice called from further inside the gym. Quick, thudding footsteps stormed towards you and you were abruptly greeted with the sight of a freakishly sized, muscular turtle headed its way towards you with a big ass smile on its face.
But, intead of eating you, Leonardo simply stuck out his hand to be shook.
"I got it from here, dad." Leonardo said calmly, gently nudging the giant rat away from the two of you. You watched as Splinter walked off to probably go yell at his other sons. Once he left, you turned your attention back to the boxer in front of you, who was now sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. He no longer looked like the scary mutant turtle; he instead looked like a big softie'.
He better stay that way.
"So, you're my new trainer?" Leonardo flashed a friendly smile, as if he sensed your initial fear and was trying to calm you down.
