Mikey looked different, very different; He wore a black mask and a Foot soldier uniform (What the turtles wore in Identity Crisis) with the sleeves of the shirt torn off. His former orange mask was tied around his right forearm, hanging off of his belt weren't his nunchaku but a pair of chigiriki (Japanese flail weapon) and he carried a Jumonji Yari (Cross-shaped spear) on his back. There was a Foot symbol tattooed on his left shoulder, he also had metal wrist bands on. Mikey was also taller and more muscular then the last time they saw him, though he was more gaunt and skinny too.

What was the most unsettling, however, was his facial expression and his eyes. Mikey's usually smiley face was intense with anger and resentment, his head was cocked to the side and his arms were crossed so he had a scowling posture. His eyes…It scared his three brothers; his eyes used to be with child-like, gleaming with mischief, a open window to his soul. But now….They were narrowed and all emotions were closed off, the once azure color was now clouded to a dark shade of blue-gray, like the rainy sky.

Donnie was the first to get over the shock. He seemed to not notice how Mikey looked now, he was just happy to see his younger brother again. "Mikey!" He cried out –in joy this time- and ran towards him.

Mikey didn't move when Don threw his arms around him in a hug, his empty expression didn't change, but he did uncross his arms to let them dangle at his sides. Mikey just stood there as Don continued to hug him.

Then Leo and Raph got over shock; but they were uncertain of what to do; Raph knew something was up because Mikey was dressed like the Foot, and Leo could sense a foreboding aura radiating off of him.

Don was unaware of anything at the time, until he pulled away that is. "Mikey?" He asked in confusion and looked the younger terrapin in the eyes, then finally realized how different Mikey looked.

Suddenly a grin of amusement twisted on Mikey's face. "Hey bro's. Been a while, hasn't it?" Hearing Mikey's voice made Don back away a little; Mikey's didn't speak with a surfer's accent anymore, and his voice was more low and gruff. But that wasn't it – the way he spoke to them, his voice dripped with a malicious amusement, he almost seemed to be threatening them.

"What the shell is goin' on! Mikey, watta'ya doin' with Karai?" Raph demanded and got into a less offensive stance. Mikey locked his blue-gray gaze onto Raph and a feral growl tore from his throat. His amusement instantly disappeared and a intense form of rage and hatred twisted onto his features.

Leo found this confusing; sure it was scary seeing Mikey like this, but he was curios as to why the black-banded turtle reacted to Raph like that.

"Mikey," Leo said, struggling to keep his voice level "what is this?" he asked the question all of them were thinking.

"What does it look like, Leonardo?" Mikey asked, his gruff voice uncharacteristically monotone. The spat out the blue-masked turtles name with emphasis. The amused grin returned "I'm part of The Foot now."

"WHAT!" The three other turtles yelled, Mikey's grin grew more twisted.

"M-Mikey!" Don said "H-How…How could you…?" Don kept trailing off from surprise, so Mikey finished for him.

"Join the Dark side?" Mikey shrugged "They offered cookies."

"Your not serious, are ya!" Raph asked, both enraged and confused by their brothers betrayal.

Mikey once more went livid with rage. He through a Shurikan at Raph, it just barely missed (it was probably a warning). "OF COURSE I'M NOT FUCKING SERIOUS!" He roared and brought out his Chigiriki, the weights at the end spinning wildly"YOU KNOW WHY RAPH, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!"

"What the shell are you talkin' about?" Raph yelled back. He had no clue what he was talking about. Leo and Donnie turned to Raph in confusion; did he really do something.

"Don't give me that!" Mikey snarled "You know what you did, quit lying! Quit pretending to be innocent!" Mikey's dark blue-gray eyes suddenly icy in uncontrollably anger and another emotion they had never seen on Mikey: Hatred. Hatred directed on Raph, and Raph only.

"Mikey, I have no clue what your talkin' about!" Raph insisted and thought hard on anything he did that could have gotten Mikey to act like this.

"Liar!" Roared Mikey and he turned to Karai "I got the ugly one; you deal with the other two."

Karai nodded and jumped at Leo and Don. Mikey charged at Raphael. The hated and anger more intense than ever.

All shell broke loose.
