Here is chapter 10!
Sorry if I took a long time. Like I stated, Black Friday was approaching and I worked the Wednesday and Thursday(Thanksgiving) before it and Thursday and Friday were insane in the membrane XD
Haha see what I did there? Insane In The Membrane is a TMNT 2003 episode where Baxter Stockman creates a new body for himself which starts turning rotten and falling apart. Good episode...watch it XD
Anyway, I updated as fast as I could with the circumstances of not wanting to work, but being forced to anyway. Like always, please review c:
"So what you're saying is, I join you, inherit your clan and in turn, have to kill my own family, right? If I say yes, you won't promise to leave them out of this, will you?"
"Of course not... Those turtles have ruined my life since I first met them. Before that even, that old rat you call a father has gotten in my way time and time again.. Besides..you know they don't appreciate you. They have ruined your life too."
The sea green mutant shakes his head, a grin crossing over his face.
"As tempting as that little offer sounds, the answer is no.." He finishes calmly, his eyes focusing on the Shredder as if he were seeing right into his very soul.
"That is too bad.." The Shredder says, raising his steel gauntlet into the air, the blades shining from the small light inside of the room.
"I was growing fond of you as well..but no matter.. If you will not join me, I have no choice. Michelangelo...you will die tonight."
"Dammit! Where da hell could he have gone?!" Raphael calls out, searching high and low all over the city.
Soon, his Shell Cell starts to ring. He pulls it out of his belt. Donatello is calling.
"Yeah? Did ya find 'em yet, brainiac?"
"Negative.. I was hoping you did." The smartest sibling replies, sighing deeply. "I guess when Mikey doesn't want to be found, he really doesn't want to be found."
"Yeah...strange...since he neva used ta be good at hidin' from us before!"
"I think I hear something up ahead!" Leonardo says, the leader in blue being with Don while Raphael is with Splinter, the wise rat insisting he come along and help search for his youngest child.
Michelangelo is his son..he must be there for him.
"It sounds like a fight!"
"Where are da two of ya?"
"A block away from an abandoned building on Laird Drive. It sounds like the fight is coming from there. You don't think Mikey is inside, do you?" Donatello says, gulping. The building looks like it could collapse at any moment. It's on its last legs.
"Der's a shot...but we won' know 'til we check it out.." Raphael replies, soon hanging up with his brother and disconnecting their call.
Oroku Saki comes at Michelangelo, steel gauntlet raised to attack as the blades meet with the turtle's nunchucks, weapons clashing again and again.
"I won't let you win, Shredder! You are not going to beat me!" Mikey says, shoving the man back, who soon laughs, grinning manically. "We'll see about that... Foot Soldiers, attack!"
Mikey rolls his eyes, putting his arms up to guard himself as a flock of soldiers begin to flood the building. "Should have known this fight wouldn't be fair..."
"Does this make it better, little brother?" Donatello inquires, jumping onto the floor Mikey is on from the roof, a large piece of the ceiling being missing. Donnie draws his weapon of choice and knocks out a nearby Foot member, the other mutants soon joining him as well.
"You guys..actually came looking for me?"
"Of course, shell-for-brains.. We're family...an' families stick togetha."
Mikey smiles faintly, his blue eyes glistening with fresh tears, but he holds them in. Now is not the time.
He is just happy that they love him enough to want him around no matter how dangerous he could be.
"What a heartfelt reunion.. Too bad it'll be the last time you see each other alive! Get them, my ninja! Kill them all!"
With that, the Foot ninja come at the turtles, who split up, none other than Splinter going up against Oroku Saki for a one on one battle.
"You took my son away from me." Splinter says, flipping through the air and landing in front of his old enemy, twirling his cane around to use it as a weapon.
"He was stolen from his family, hidden away and tricked to fight against us.. For all of this, you will pay."
The Foot ninja have their swords drawn, the brothers holding their own against them.
The enemy is falling, losing despite having the upper hand in numbers.
Leo and Don are close by one another, the elder taking hold of Donnie's staff as the other holds on tight.
The purple clad turtle is spun around quickly, his feet kicking around and knocking out many men as he swings.
Raph looks at Mikey, who renders a ninja unconscious by hitting him upside the head with his nunchucks.
The younger turtle knows what the red banded one wants. Raph wants to team up as well. It would make this quicker.
The youngest of the siblings nods, Raphael grinning as a ninja comes up behind him.
As the Foot member goes to attack, Raphael retreats into his shell for a moment, Michelangelo right in front of him as the guy comes forward, his face connecting with one of Mikey's feet.
The sea green reptile smiles, this being the first time he had fun in a while. He forgot how much he enjoyed fighting alongside his brothers..
Shortly after, all of the Foot were defeated, the only bad guy left standing being the Shredder himself.
"It's over, Oroku Saki!" Splinter says, knocking the Shredder's feet from under him.
"No! It is never over! Not until I am the only one left!"
The Shredder says, drawing a blade with electricity coursing through it.
He swings it down, the wise rat blocking with his cane, but the shot still lands its mark.
Even though Splinter blocked the attack, the electricity went into his cane and then out to go into his body.
The wise rat gets shocked, his form flying back into one of the pillars in the building.
The pillar wobbles, beginning to fall down, making the area even more unstable.
Splinter is still under the pillar, it heading toward him until Mikey rushes in, pushing his father out of the way and getting hit instead.
"Mikey!" All three of his siblings shout, heading toward him and working together to get all of the rubble off of him.
The sea green turtle soon gets up, seemingly unharmed as he brushes the debris off of himself. "I'm all right." Mikey reassures, glaring at the Shredder.
He is pulled back to reality when he hears the sound of his eldest brother's voice. "The building is coming down!" Leo says, small concrete blocks falling down around them, soon turning into larger blocks.
Without the one pillar, the rest cannot hold the building. "If we stay here, we'll be crushed!"
"I'm not going if it means the Shredder gets away too!" Mikey says, getting in front of Oroku Saki who is attempting to flee from the scene.
"I'll die with him if I must.."
The other brothers and their father look between one another, nodding in understanding. "If we get rid of the Shredder...the city, no, the world..will be a better place." Donatello says, everyone agreeing with him. "Let's finish this.."
With that, all of the turtles have their weapons drawn, Splinter readying himself to attack again as well.
He is a little burnt, the electricity making parts of his fur a darker brown, but he can still fight.
"You're outnumbered, Shredder!" Leonardo says, Oroku Saki still looking for a way out. "Foolish turtles... If you stay here, we will all parish.."
"So be it.." The leader continues, all of them letting out a courageous battle cry as they attack the Shredder from all directions, knocking him off of the floor and down on the ground below, where all of the rubble is falling.
The building is swaying, everything coming down.
"This is our last chance. Everyone, move it!" The blue clad turtle says, picking up their Sensei as the four book it out of there as fast as their legs can carry them.
They get caught under a few falling debris, having a few cuts and scrapes here and there, but other than that, they are fine.
Raphael helps Donnie up off of the ground, all of them looking at the remains of the building, searching for any sign of Shredder.
"No way he's alive.." Raph says, scowling. "No one can survive dat.."
Just then, one of the Shredder's hands breaks through the rubble, clenching into a fist until it goes limp moments later.
The Shredder is finally gone..
It has been three months since the Shredder was defeated.
Three months of peace.. Well, almost.
Since the Shredder is now gone, his second in command took over. His daughter, Karai, but she nor the other members of the Foot clan know where the turtles' lair is, so they are safe as long as they are home.
Karai misses her father, but now she can do things her way.
The Shredder never seemed to trust her, giving her the easy missions instead of allowing her to bring the mutants in herself. And when Oroku Saki took Michelangelo in, the young Kunoichi was fuming, wanting to prove to her father that she has what it takes to lead the Foot clan. Oroku Saki may not be around anymore, but at least she has the chance she wanted to prove herself. She will make him proud..wherever he is.
For every night since the youngest has come back, Michelangelo has been with Splinter, the wise rat training him to better control himself and it has been working.
The orange clad turtle no longer has those horrible nightmares. The ones where he brutally murders his entire family.
Now, he can look at himself and accept that he is good deep down. That guy who destroyed the bridge and took the lives of many..that wasn't him..and like his brothers and Sensei say, he wasn't in his right mind.
He cannot change it, so instead, he must learn from it and become better because of it.
Michelangelo soon leaves the dojo, walking out into the living room and smiling when he hears voices drawing closer to the lair.
His siblings are coming back from patrol...and he has a little surprise for them as a welcome home gift.
Above the hinged barrier to enter into their home are buckets of maple syrup and buckets of feathers he got from some of his old pillows.
As soon as his brothers come in, they will get everything poured on top of them, the feathers sticking because of the syrup and making them look like chickens.
The orange clad turtle waits behind the couch, his eyes peeking up over as the doorknob begins to turn.
The three mutants walk in together, side by side as they talk about the night's events.
As soon as the door is completely open, the buckets on the ceiling tip, all of the contents falling down on the unsuspecting siblings.
"What the shell is this?" Donnie speaks first, the syrup dripping off of him like a mini waterfall.
He sniffs himself, trying to pick the feathers off of his body as well, but he is coated in them. "Maple syrup?"
"MIKEY!" Raphael shouts, the youngest falling down from behind the couch.
He is on the floor on his shell, holding his plastron as he laughs. "Haha...you guys should see yourselves! Dude..hehe...it's so funny!"
Leonardo growls, looking at Donatello and then Raphael. "What do you say we get Mikey back for this?"
"Couldn' have said it betta myself, fearless.." Raph says, slamming his fist against the palm of his other hand.
In a matter of seconds, Michelangelo is to his feet, running away from his three brothers who chase him around the lair.
"Haha..I didn't think I would say this before, but...it's really great to be back to my old self again!" Mikey says to himself more so than anyone else and inside the dojo, Splinter hears him.
The wise rat smiles, glad that everything is now back to normal as well..
The family just wasn't as bright without Michelangelo.
The End!
I hope that was okay for a final chapter. Didn't know what else to do besides Mikey recovering and being his old self again. I don't think I'm very good at endings or fight scenes, but I tried xp
