First TMNT fanfiction. No flames please.
I claim no ownership. Language warning: lots of bad words.
UPDATE: So someone nicely told me that I don't have original content so I am rewriting chapter 1. They said (not naming who) to take it down and I am not going to that. Instead I'm re writing it. If you see a problem let me know. So sorry if you expected a new chapter! You can read this if you want to.
~Insurrection: a violent uprising against an authority.~
Mikey sat in the living room thinking over the last few months. Everything was perfect. Everyone was happy. Of course there was when they had to fight Purple Dragons, Kraang, The Shredder, and other mutants but at least they were happy.
And as fast as happiness came, it went. Leo got his ass kicked by Shredder, forcing him into a coma because his body and soul was so broken. They had to retreat to April's farmhouse.
It would be about 3 months until he woke up but at least he was up and active again. Of course his leg could disagree but at least it's doing better. While Leo was out everything was heading into a downward spiral. The tension was getting thicker by the day. Raph did nothing but spend all of his time by Leo's side. Everyone was sulking about the loss of Splinter. April had FINALLY accepted the fact that her father is a mindless mutant and Casey has yet to accept the fact that his father and little sister may be gone.
Donnie spent most of his time in the lab and Raph was helping Leo get better. Mikey...Mikey was just going with the flow. But life had to go on…
Mikey heard a crash downstairs. He rolled his eyes. Leo is probably arguing with Raph that he doesn't need to take it easy when training again. He had to tune it out. He had to...he had to! He had to! Mikey looked at the time 5:25 PM Monday. Black Butler is on in five minutes.
Please let this be a peaceful...another crash was an indication that his prayer was denied.
T~M~N~T
Mikey was watching Black Butler:
"This dress...it's atrocious. So white and girly and frilly. If I have to dress up, why can't it be in a sexy shade of red with a waistline that would flatter my figure?" asked Grell in a dramatic matter.
"Mikey what are you watching?" asked Leo walking in the door of the TV room.
"Black Butler." Mikey said quickly. Too absorbed in the show.
Leo took the remote off the couch and changed the channel to Space Heroes.
"HEY I WAS WATCHING THAT!" Mikey yelled after realizing that the channel changed.
"Space Heroes is on." Leo replied.
"This episode is a repeat! Change it back."
"No I'm watching this." MIkey got up from the couch and snatched the remote back from Leo's hand and changed the channel. But the show was over.
Mikey got mad and slammed the remote to the ground.
"Woah Mikey cool it. Breaking things is my job." said Raph
"Whatever. Just get out of my way."
"What's his problem?" asked Donnie coming in the room.
"I think he got mad when Leo changed his show."
"I'm pretty sure he'll get over it."
T~M~N~T
Mikey was coming out of his room with his phone, headphones, and a sketchbook. Since someone so NICELY changed his show, he needed to drown out all of the noise and the extreme tension coming from...well everyone. This was the best way that he could do that. Nothing better than drawing, writing and listening to your favorite music. Mikey was scrolling down to choose which song would be perfect for tonight. He picked Cost of the Crown by Shandeen O'Neill (A/N what I'm listening to as I write this. On LOOP I may add). He's not sure why he chose this but he loved the mood it set. Shandeen had one of the most beautiful voices that Mikey had ever heard. Next to Amy Lee of course.
The song played as he began to finish his latest drawing that he had been working on. He had to get the shading of the face just right...perfect! It took him almost a week to finish this one. Once he finished the drawing itself, he began to write words around the page. He had his music loud so he couldn't hear Raph calling for him. Raph got mad and smacked Mikey behind the head. Mikey immediately took out his headphones from his ears.
"What do you want?!" asked Mikey very irritated that someone interrupted his music.
"Woah! Nothing just dinner is ready. I just came to tell ya."
"Oh well I don't want to eat today. I'm not hungry." He said as he tried to listen to his music again. Why the shell can't they just leave him alone?
"Mikey come on. Let's go." Raph grabbed his hand and heaved him off the couch. Mikey yanked his hand back out of Raph's grasp.
"Mike! What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I said I DON'T want to eat. Just leave me alone!" Mikey yelled as he turned around to go back to the couch. Unfortunately the universe wasn't in his favor as Raph grabbed his shoulders and spun him around. When he faced Raph, he saw that everyone else is now in the room. Leo had the curious face mixed with worry and confusion. Donnie was just making sure that Raph didn't lash out.
"What's going out here?" Leo asked.
"Mikey doesn't want to eat." stated Raph taking a side next to the others, now all facing Mikey.
"All I want to do is listen to my music because SOMEBODY changed my show."
"Ok sorry. I didn't know that you cared about some damn anime so much." Leo said sarcastically.
"Oh you're one to talk. You care about some cartoon that come out in the 80's. No one but you watches that show but you. But I'm suddenly criticized for watching a well made, beautifully animated anime."
"Michelangelo you need to calm down." Leo said in an authoritative voice that would usually have stopped anyone in their tracks. But Mikey scoffed which shocked Leo.
"That's your answer to everything with me. Just because some of us aren't as...level headed as you, doesn't mean you have to put us down."
"What the shell is up with you lately?!" asked Raph now angry. "You don't spend time with us anymore."
"Ohhhhh NOW you notice my absence. Where was this the last 3 months?"
"Leo was in a coma the last three months you idiot!" Raph shouted.
"OH THANK YOU FOR THAT FUCKING REMINDER!" Raph recoiled in shock of the volume emanating from Mikey's voice. Raph quickly recovered and raised his fists.
"Oh ooo is big tough Raph going to hit me now?" He asked in a mocking tone. "Go right ahead. Wouldn't be the first time anyway." Mikey said shrugging. Something flashed in Raph's eyes and backed away from Mikey. Donnie stepped in.
"Don't you even DARE say anything Donnie. You're no better than any of them! Did you guys forget about those damn parasites that infected you? I never got a damn thank you! All I got was a beat down because of Leo's stupid signed comic! And before you say anything Donnie, don't try to lie to me. I know you don't care about me. You know how I know? After the whole mom thing, you didn't see if any of us were ok. All you did was crawl back into April's arms. Even though we BOTH know that she doesn't care about you."
"That's not true Mike! I care about Donnie!" yelled April.
"Really? *Scoff* Ok then April. Let me ask you a question. Why do you kiss Donnie and then go on and kiss Casey? Are you a player? Do you like breaking Donnie's heart? Because if your job is to give people hope and then crush it, then you're very good at it. Why don't you do us all a favor and just pick one. Jesus Christ this isn't The Bachelor! And while I'm at it. You claim to be a strong independent woman...then why do you go with the flow? Everywhere they go, you follow them like a pathetic puppy."
"MICHELANGELO! That is enough!"
"Don't you dare yell at me like you're my father. AND DON'T YOU DARE GO WITH THE FUCKING 'I'M-THE-OLDEST-AND-WHATEVER-I-SAY-HAS-TO-HAPPEN' THING AGAIN! You know what? You can take the statement and shove it up your fucking ass for all I care! I'm out of here." Mikey said as he ran out of the house. Using his extreme and ungodly agility, he ran into the woods. Knowing his brothers were following him, he cut to the right and disappeared out of sight.
BAMF!Mikey
Well that's the end of chapter 1!
UPDATE 2: We have resolved the issue. I had to erase about nine pages to re-write this. I had to keep some of the argument to better flow with the second chapter. So sorry if you expected a new chapter! You can read this if you want to.
