Phantasm’s tail lashed, smacking against the barrier with a crackle of electricity and the ghost cursed in a garble of static rather than living language, hitting the barrier again.
“I don’t think it’s working.” Jason said after a moment. “By all means, keep hitting it though.”
“Oh corn puffs!” She dropped out of the float, tail separating into legs as rings of light surrounded her and their small group was left with one vigilante, one sort of anti hero and a civilian. Elle then punched the barrier, her fist bouncing uselessly off it. “Damnit, I can’t get past the ghost shield!”
“Pause, we weren’t told about ghost shields.”
Her head turned back to him, red highlights a blur as her hair shifted. “A force field specifically designed to keep halfas, ghosts, spectres, screamers, or other various ecto-contaminated beings in or out depending on where they are when the shield is activated. I can’t get in, if my twin is in there, he can’t get out unless the shield is down.”
“Zombies too, I’m guessing?”
“Yeah, I guess them too. Either way, I can’t follow and I don’t think mr. brined in Pit water can pass through as well.”
All Tim was hearing was that he was now down two people on a break in. Awful odds really when they’d already started with less than ideal circumstances.
God, the city just really wasn’t on his side tonight.
Elle kicked the barrier, and from next to her, Jason reached out to tap at it with the butt of his gun, the weapon and him passing through without getting fried to bits.
For a second, the three of them stared at each other.
And then Elle threw her hands up and screeched, the sound grating. “Ancients’ sake! The revenant gets in for free?!?”

Vote for Residuum @rottmnt-residuum in the @tmntaucompetition cause uh, well the horrors are still going to happen I think, but being at the basketball tournament for a little while is better than the secret government facility. Probably. Idk One is running around with a pointy bat...
Also note I am not the creator of Residuum, merely just a fan! Sorry if that was unclear oof! I have no control over what happens to Donnie!
Also I threw in some other awesome authors and artists as easter eggs that I think are all in this competition, that seemed excited about the polls? (so many tmnt polls right now)
This is just a fun fandom experience!
I May Be Invisible But I Still Look Good by @dandylovesturtles (look I know he can't really touch the ball but I wanted to let him do something)
Totpocalypse Au by @pastadorable
Redline Au by @coffinpal and @0ddbugs (@tmntredline)
Portal Chaos by @sheltered-uno
Bloodbath au by @trubblegumm
2 Arms Left by @intotheelliwoods (I don't think 2al Leo would really shoot his flamethrower at someone maliciously but this is all in good fun so he gets to have a little stress relief as a treat)
So vote Residuum! Delay the horrors by just a little!

More old concept art, this one's been rolling at the back of my workshop for a bit.
You know how some humans just turn into pokemon? Not ghost types or dead pokemon, pokemon like Kadabra that are just the result of some freaky transformation? Yeah anyways grief go brr here's a design for Emmet.
I made this mostly concept on a whim for shits and giggles, but I did outline some basic stat specifics. For starters there this godawful possible learnset from google slides:
wonder if there's any noticeable patterns, anyways the ability is Anger Point just because of how absolutely fucking atrocious it is. It comes from how the whole rage/aggression factor of Emmet's transformation and makes him an absolute pain to deal with once the Interpol find him.
Stat spread was originally based on pseudo-legendaries' BST but I ended up cutting down some of the numbers cause they were feeling like a bit too much. The values are weighted heavier in offensive stats and lower in defensive.
HP: 70
ATK: 150
DEF: 70
SPA: 110
SPD: 70
SPE: 100
BST: 570
Anyways hope you guys like the art, I made this concept like a month ago off of dumb idea but ended up having fun sketching a researching stuff for it. See you later ^^
Bonus doodles:
(someone from the server I'm in asked for Emmet having a treat so he's having a biscuit/stuffed donut)
also here's the gesture drawings when I was still concepting cause I think they're funny

“When you said you had a plan, I thought it would be better than this.”
“Hey, man, don’t look at me. I’m not the one who stole a mermaid.”
“You can’t steal a person. Xb made the choice to come with me.”
Xb flaps his tail lazily from the center of the pool. The chlorine feels strange against his scales, but it’ll do for the time being, for being the first time he’s been in fresh air for quite a while. He tilts his head and watches Hypno argue with his chilly human, only to realize they’ve turned to him.
“Don’t look at me. I was the one who was stolen,” he says. Hypno sighs in a way that’s grown familiar.
“You told me I—I’m just saying that—this isn’t even ours, Cub!”
“We steal Keralis’s pool all the time,” the chilly human says. “He hasn’t called the cops on us yet.”
“I think he’s trying to Home Alone us,” Hypno mutters, “not that he’s an altruist.”
“Eh,” the chilly human says.
“When you said you had a plan—”
“I didn’t have a mermaid plan. I had a ‘Scar steals a manatee from the aquarium’ plan that I modified. Have to say, Hypno, didn’t expect you to be the one to make me use it.”
“…why would a Scar steal a manatee, and how were you planning on handling the chemicals in here?” Xb asks. It is, he figures, the only truly relevant part of the conversation.
“He’s Scar,” Hypno answers, at the same time as the chilly human answers:
“That was one of the steps I modified when Hypno told me you’d be able to just breathe a bit of air. Didn’t have to buy out the water treatment for fish from Petco.”
“What?” Hypno says.
“Fair,” Xb says, as though he knows what a Petco is. (He knows many human things after his time in captivity. That is not one of them.)
“Stop complaining so much,” the chilly human says. “Who else would you have asked who’d have a plan like this?”
“Jevin,” Hypno says instantly.
“Rude.”
“We can’t just keep Xb in Keralis’s pool. We have to have another place to put him later. Ideally, the actual ocean, but even before then,” Hypno continues.
“It is a little small,” Xb concedes. It is still better than his old tank by far, but if he’s being given the time to complain…
“Not just that,” Hypno says. “But—”
“Aha! I got you this time!” a sing-song voice from above says. “Naughty boys! Here to wreck my pool again. I have you now!”
In front of Xb, he watches Hypno and the chilly human move awkwardly as though to hide him from the man standing on the balcony. Xb, who is far more reasonable about these things. He doesn’t attempt to hide. He looks up at the human instead, curiously. He feels something in his chest looking at him, and something more when the human stops talking about catching Hypno and his friends, and locks eyes with Xb.
Xb bares his teeth and flares his fins in a threat display. Not because he feels the need to be threatening—he’s not frightened—but because he wants to see what this human will do.
The human’s face morphs into a wide smile.
“Oh! You’ve brought me a princess!” he says. “Hello, princess! I am Keralis!”
Xb regards him for a moment. “Xb,” he says.
“Lovely!” Keralis says.
There’s a moment of stunned silence from the others.
“It took me three months to get you to let me say your name!” Hypno says accusingly. “Three months!”
“Keralis is prettier,” Xb says instantly, dry as the outside of his old tank.
“True,” the chilly human responds, and Keralis giggles.
“I hate all of you,” Hypno says, and Xb knows that’s a lie. You don’t steal people you hate.
