Okay, I FINALLY read the ending to Sean's "Legacy of the Ring" and let
me say we are definitely in the presence of royalty here! Royalty as
in of one of the most awesome fanfic writers out there! Holy crap,
that was a totally friggin' awesome story! Whatta writer, such a
genius! I literally sat there and read till I thought my eyes were
gonna pop out of their sockets! Mind you, I held firm to the very
end!
It's been a long time, but allow me to post up:
DA SPOILER ZONE! *

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!
