Too many stars?  I was just rating the fic...and also counting how many rounds Leo and Danielle can...okay, let's continue, shall we?  :)
 
Let's see, I started on Chapter 18 to recap where I left off and read along, wondering what the hell was going to happen to poor Leo now that he was trapped on the judgement bridge with The Spectre (Hal Jordan!  LOL!!!).  The whole judgement thing reminded me of the movie, "Defending Your Life" minus fancy hotels, old Universal Studios tram buses, eating as much as you want and people wandering around in white togas!  Finally got to see that movie in it's entirety and it is excellent...but also scary to think if that's the only way to either get into Heaven or sent back to Earth to try your life again!  It's like we all have to be saints or 100% philanthropists!  Eeesh!
 
So getting back to our poor hero, I knew, I sooooo knew, Leo had to go back to save everyone from the clutches of E-vil, yet first he had to learn the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to help his...sanity!  For the longest time, he had lingering doubts of who he was, where he came from, and what really happened to him back at the Technodrome.  Then, in comes the Leo2-in-the-box and POP! goes the whole battle scene between the two identical turtles!  I sat there shaking my head like, "Weeeeeird!"  To have Leo fight himself would be such an ordeal, not to mention painful for every strike Leo gave to the opposing Leo, Leo also felt it!  Not only was I rooting for the real Leo but I had a strong pity for the clone Leo since it was also Leo!  And how many times can I say Leo in one sentence?  lol.  Hey, I saw "Multiplicity" and even though the original is...well, the original, the clone is still considered alive and real!  Very clever of him to switch his battle attire with the fake while Shredder was conveniently out of the room.  Perfect timing for an alarm to go off, huh?
 
And wow, the battle between Leo and Shredder just went on and on and on!  My God, I was thinking, "When is this whole thing going to end?" but also thinking, "Damn, you go, Leo!  Kick Shredder's thirst-for-blood-on-innocent-Mobians ass!"  I'd say that little ring has one hell of a punch and came in very handy, but I think I was more impressed when Leo put it away, not letting magic interfere, and just getting dirty with full body force.  Very awesome.  Nice to let the others have their fun, too.  Well, all except for Danielle whom just hung around.  Heh, get it?
 
So, with Shredder dead (or so we hope!), the Enforcer no longer able to force anymore harm (haha), and Neron sent back from whence he came (thanks to Leo's smart thinking), they all return home to party hardy!  Again, I sooooo knew Leo was going to pop the big question to Danielle as soon as Splinter gave 'his blessing' to him.  I was like, "Okay, do the birthday thing, sing to her..."  which reminds me,  if that's a real song, I need to look it up and hear how it sounds.  Lyrics are one thing but I'd like to get the REAL FEEL of the song!  And when Leo got down on his knees and pulled out that ring, I melted into a huge pile of warm goop.  I'm sooo into the huggies.  Awwww!
 
Then, the final ending scene!  It's not even their honeymoon and already they're at it!  :P  It was a little shoddy on their part to disappear into the bedroom and leave their guests but, hey, when them hormones start to rage, it's time to say, "Let's get it on!"
 
So, what's next?  And don't say an adjective.  ;)  This ending opens up a whole new sequel because we need to see how Leo and Danielle are doing in the future...if they ever leave the bedroom.  HA!  Hello, "Barefoot in the Park"!  Ahem, but we also need to see what becomes of Neron.  Apparently, evil can never die.  It just gets sent away temporarily.  If Neron doesn't make a grand return, something else will come along to intervene our good guy's lives and then they'll have to haul out the heavy artillery yet again.
 
Well, Sean, first, take a big breather break to regain more juicy ideas and when you feel ready to roll again, get a new story up ASAP!  I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoyed it as much as you wrote it!  Bye for now!
