Episode: Kagayake! Kintaro

Summery: At the end when the Turtles were controlled again, what if it was just one. Mikey, who was controlled?

"You think I gave up complete control of you? Well". The blind wolf sneered. "At least one I didn't".

Holding something up the ringing sound drifted to one Turtles ears. Leo cringed waiting for the sound, but it never happened. His eyes opened widening when he heard groaning, someone groaning in pain next to him.

"Mikey!". Donnie rushed to his brother's side who was holding his head in pain.

"You fend!". Leo growled turning towards the wolf.

"Yesss". The wolf grinned white eye's almost glowing whiter. "I figured out rather quickly you see, just how protective you 3 are over your younger brother. I found revenge is best served sweet, and nothing is sweeter than having the one brother who nobody would wiling attack. To be the one affected".

Leo, Raph and Donnie who still knelt at Mikey's side, glared hatefully at the older wolf.

"I'm sorry guy's I can't". Mikey winced in pain his body leaning further against Donnie. "I can't hold it back much longer". He let out a low whine as the pain intensified.

"Mikey hold on just a little longer". Donnie pleaded. "We have to take Jade DOWN!".

"Alright Ninja's let's move!". With a growl Leo lunged at Jei who dodged it easily, a smirk on the creatures face. Leo's eye's white with rage lunged again clashing with Jei's staff with his swords.

"You think you can beat me". Jei sneered, disappearing in a blink of an eye. "My power is far more powerful than you can even comprehend. Jei appeared suddenly behind Leo hitting him from the back. "You were just doing my bidding, my work. But now". Jei snapped his fingers. "This is not my fight".

Leo froze at Jei's smirking voice he heard his smart brother yell his little brothers name, he quickly turned around horror filling his eyes as Mikey's eye's opened. They glowed white just like Jei's, Donnie backed up swallowing thickly.

"You can fight me just fine". Jei slammed his staff on the ground. "But let's see if you can fight your little brother just as well".

"Mikey". Donnie pleaded softly taking a step forward, "it's us. Your older brothers. This isn't you Mikey, I know you can fight it".

Mikey just growled slowly moving forward. Luging at Donnie who quickly dodged the blow.

"Leo". Raph said quietly next to him. "What do we do?".

"I…". Leo took a deep breath". Wear him down, as much as you can. Hit blows if only necessarily. We gotta slow him down".

Raph took out his sai's half heartily while Donnie swung his bow.

"Alright team let's go!". Leo ordered. All 3 brothers lunged forward, dodging attacks and hitting ones lightly of their own. Jei smirked knowing very well who was winning, Mikey was their weakness. They may be able to fully hit at each other, but when it came to their younger brother. The tables were turned.

"Finish them you fool!". Jei ordered. "Finish them off!".

Meanwhile Usagi and Kintaro watched on the sidelines.

"Jei has figured out the Turtles weakness, their little brother. At this rate we will never win, they can't fully attack Mikey. Their love for the youngest Turtle is to strong".

"That's why love is a weakness". The Pug stated quietly.

"But it can also be a strength, love can to such powerful things. Even". The Rabbit paused. "Break a curse". Usagi gazed down at the Pug. "They may need your help".

Kintaro took a deep breath before nodding. "I'll try". He quickly stepped up were Leo kept dodging Mikey's hits, trying hard not to hit his brother but defending himself all the same. "Leo!". The pug spoke loudly. "You gotta get through to your brother!".

"Well thank you captain obvious!". Raph barked trying to get in a light hit, and defending himself halfheartedly. "We NEVER would think to do that!".

Kintaro took another deep breath restricting his temper, if he were to be a King he was to be patient, Usagi was right all along.

"You need to cox the real Mikey out, tell him how much you love him. Encourage him, you guys protect him with your lives he needs your help to beat it".

"Of course". Donnie lightly slapped his forehead as he dodged another hit. "Kintaro is right, we've been going about this the wrong way".

The soft clang of Donnie's bow hitting the ground got Mikey's attention, he growled loudly as he made a run for the Ninja. But to his surprise Donnie just knelt down. Eye's soft as he gazed at his younger brother.

"Mikey". Donnie's voice soft. "I know this isn't you, this isn't the Mikey we know and love. I know it hurt, I know your in so much pain. Were so proud of you Mikey, you fought so hard". The Purple masked turtle reached out touching his brother cheek. "You got to fight it Mikey, I know you can do it little bro. You're a strong Ninja just like us".

"Donnie's right". Raph knelt down next to his older brother. "I know you think I'm rough on you sometimes, and sometimes I take it too far. But you're our little brother Mikey, and we love you so much. Come back to us little brother".

"Mikey". Leo came behind Mikey who whipped around. Almost forwarding like a wild animal. "I am proud to be your brother, your leader. I know we don't always appreciate you like we should Mikey. But we wouldn't be a family without you".

"Their lying!". Jei howled realizing he was losing control of the situation. "I have seen how much they make fun of you, call you names. Don't believe their lies. Attack them!".

Mikey backed up a few steps holding his head so confused, the ringing still in his ears. Yet the order to obey Jei didn't seem right. Words of love and encouragement starting to throw away the control.

"Michelangelo". Usagi stepped up voice strong. "I know deep in your heart you know where your loyalty lies, your brothers have always shown you love one way or another. Love is not always an easy street but you know the one who lies to you!. Your brothers have been there threw the beginning, you have done everything together. Do not let this wolf break that bond!".

Mikey's frame stopped moving for a moment all 3 brothers holding their breaths, he didn't move an inch leaving Donnie to slowly move towards his little brother.

"Mikey?" He said softly. Reaching to touch his brother's shoulder.

"Get away from him you fool!". Jei lunged forward staff ready to attack.

"Donnie!". Leo and Raph cried.

Donnie shut his eyes waiting for pain the loud clang next to his ears made the smart turtle's eye's pop open, Mikey stood in front of him his nun chucks blocking the staff. His eyes were his normal blue eye's filled with uncharacteristic rage.

"Nobody, HURTS MY BROTHER!".

"Mikey!".

Usagi nodded a smirk on his face.

"No…no it can't be". Jei stepped back as the other turtles approached, "you were under my compete control. How! How!".

"That's something you were never understand Jei". Usagi stepped up. "The power of love can do amazing things, wonderful things. Your dark magic was no match for Mikey's brother's love for him".

Mikey's body swayed slightly and before he could hit the ground Donnie ludged forward catching his little brother's body. Eye's worriedly gazing down at Mikey. Mikey gave a weak smile body sinking into his older brother's hold.

"Donnie watch Mikey, come on Raph let's talk this wolf DOWN!". Rage filling both Leo and Raph's eyes.

"With pleasure". Raph sneered cracking his knuckles with a battle cry they both including Uagi lunged at Jei.

Donnie watched on as the battle raged on. Kintaro joining in as well, he cradled Mikey against his chest in a protective manor.

"Donnie?"

Donnie's gaze left the battle gazing down at his little brother.

"I'm sorry".

Donnie shook his head tears running down his face, he tugged Mikey closer to his chest.

"There's nothing to be sorry about, I am so proud of you. You beat him, I knew you could do it. I know I …we don't give you enough credit but you truly are strong Mikey. And I was so scared we were going to lose you. I love you little brother".

Mikey snuggled into his brother's chest with a happy sigh.

"I love you to Donnie".

Once the battle was done and Jei was defeated the group headed back towards Donnie and Mikey, the youngest turtle by now had fallen into an exhausted sleep. Leaving Donnie to hold him securely against his chest.

"How is he?" Leo spoke softly gaze never wavering from his youngest brother.

"Exhaustion finally won out". Donnie whispered back standing up his little brother still tucked against him, "we were lucky this times guys. If we hadn't gotten through to him". He swallowed.

"But you did". Uagi spoke up. "You and your other brothers. Your love for Mikey was way stronger than any curse".

"But if there's one thing I learned". Leo's eye's flashed with emotion. "We need to start treating him better from now on, we got lucky this time. We need to show Mikey every day that we love him and cherish him, he always had a close bond with father. Now he has us, us, April and Casey. We can't let him forget that he's loved and cared about".

Uagi stepped over to Kintaro he gently nudged the Pug softly.

"You did a great job during that battle, and the encouragement you showed the Turtles. You truly have grown up Kintaro you will make a fine King".

"I underestimated them". The Pug admitted softly watching the Turtles swarm around Mikey. "Love does do powerful things, it's what separates us from the evil. Evil may be strong, but in the end Love will prevail".

"And now that you learned that, you're finally ready to be King. You know what it means and what it takes, and I am so proud of you".

"Thanks Uagi". The Pug let a smile slip on his features.

"Thank you Turtles". Uagi stepped over to the group of brothers. "I owe you a debt of gratitude for your help getting Kintaro where he needed to be".

Leo stepped up shaking the Rabbits hand.

"Thank you for the help to Uagi, and to you to Kintaro. We couldn't have gotten Mikey back without your help".

"No". Uagi shook his head. "It was your love and determination to save your brother that made you win this battle".

"Alright Ninja's its time to go home".

"Yeah but how are we going to get there?" Donnie spoke softly cradling the still slumbering Mikey.

"Allow me warriors". Sumo Kuma spoke up for the first time since he came out of Jei's power. "You have my humble apologies for my rude behavior. Kintaro. With your help I believe we can get the Turtles back to their own time".

Nodding the Pug stepped up as the bear handed him an axe, he chopped at the air making a portal.

"You must go quickly, the Portal won't hold for much time".

"Thank you both for everything" Leo spoke up softly. "I hope to one day meet you 2 again".

"Maybe someday our paths will cross again". Uagi shook hands with Leo. "And take care of your little brother".

"We will, come on guy's lets go home".

Keeping Donnie close Donnie stepped aside in the Portal, as did Raph and Leo. They were going home, with a sense of love, gratitude and realization on just how important their little brother was.
