Three months later.
The turtles ran across rooftops, jumping over gaps between buildings. It was a quarter to midnight, and according to April, Baxter Stockman has the Kraang bringIng in a crate of mutagen. When they reached their destination they waited for their cue. A few minutes passed and a TCRI van pulled up in the alley way. Stockman and two Kraang bots came out, they walked to the back of the van and opened the doors to another Kraang bot and a large crate. All four carried the crate inside to Stockman's lab.
"Now!" Leo whispered.
The turtles used their ninja stealth to sneak into the building before the door locked. They stayed hidden in the shadows waiting for another cue by Leo. Stockman opened the crate and pulled out a mutagen canister. A gritty smile crossed his lips, then a chuckle.
"You see Kraang, one day we will knock out New York City with this stuff," he laughed.
"The one known as Baxter Stockman is correct. Kraang help invade," said one of the Kraang bots.
"Shredder will be much pleased. The only thing stopping us is those stupid turtles!"
"The one known as turtles will be destroyed."
"Oh I know they will be, I can promise you that," Stockman laughed.
Leo gave the cue.
"Yo Stickman! You really think you can beat us!" Raph called out flipping his sais.
"Turtles!" Stockman cried.
"Yeah boy! It's us and we're gonna kick your sorry butt skunkman!" Mikey popped up from the shadows.
"It's Stockman!"
Leo slowly walked out from the shadows with his katanas in his hands ready for battle.
"What's wrong Stockman? Don't want us to join the party?" Leo smirked.
Stockman growled.
"You wait, you'll regret coming here!"
The Kraang bots held up their weapons preparing for the fight.
"Plus I wouldn't get so cocky turtles, it looks like you have one person missing from your team. I wonder why that is," Stockman laughed hysterically.
The turtles faces narrowed on Stockman, eyes going white.
"That's why you're here right? Ha! My plan is working then. I finally killed one of you bastards off. I aimed for the smart one first because I knew you'd struggle without him." Stockman continued to laugh more, "You see turtles, the liquid I injected into your brother was mutagen chemical twist. I used it to act like a drug. You know where it makes you feel good and all."
"But you can't run away from problems forever you know. Eventually that good feeling wears off and the problems are still there. I made this chemical so strong that his sub conscience completely took over in a negative manner. Thus causing your brother to kill himself. It's brilliant!"
The three turtles charged at Stockman, the Kraang droids began to fire their guns. They used their ninja training to dodge each pink bullet. Raph jumped behind one Kraang bot stabbing it in the back of the metal head with his sai. Mikey used his nunchucks to grab the other bot while Leo came running at it with his katanas, slicing it in half. The pink brain things scurried away.
Stockman was becoming scared and hide behind the last Kraang bot. Raph threw his sai, having the blade go right in between the eyes. The metal body dropped the floor, leaving Baxter Stockman in the open. He was trembling with fear. The three masked turtles stood in line.
"Don't you dare touch me! O...or I'll b-blow this place up," Stockman held up small remote.
Each turtle spoke in a sinister monotone voice. Devoured by rage.
"You think we care?"
(Mikey)
"You'd die too ya know."
(Raph)
"We're faster then you anyway."
(Leo)
"You killed our brother."
(Mikey)
"We hate you for it."
(Raph)
"We're going to get revenge."
(Leo)
Without another word the turtles charged at Stockman faster then he could react. With each turtle filled with rage, they made sure Stockman's death was slow, painful, and messy. He cried out in pain as limbs started getting cut off. Starting with his fingers, then working their way up. Stockman started to feel light headed from blood loss. He looked at the leader straight in the eye. His words were barley just above a whisper.
"I'm sorry," we're his last words.
The next day.
April ran into the lair, it was a new day, and a great one at that. She put her bag on the couch waiting for her day to begin.
"Hey April's here guys!" Mikey ran up to the red head and hugged her.
"Hey Apes," Raph smiled.
"Ready for training today?" Leo asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be," she smiled.
The teens entered the dojo waiting for Splinters new lessen of the day. Ever since Donatello passed away from blood loss, a new tradition has begun. It was before training they'd all have a moment of silence for him. Sometimes Leo would end up in a meditative state, and sometimes he would hear his brother speak to him. But he kept that to himself, not wanting to excite or disturb the others. The family may have lost someone physically, but they never lost him in spirit. Whether they knew it or not.
