Chapter Thirty Six: We, Monsters (Part Two)

Wrath grabbed his face and growled like an injured beast, 'NO!!'

Pride chuckled, 'Welcome back brother!'

The blond roared and clawed a fiery hand at him. The Silver Knight leapt back and stood in a defensive position. Wrath blinked when blood got into his left eye, his wings twitched slightly. He bared his teeth and dashed forward. Pride dodged all of his attacks and didn't make any move to counterattack, his smug smirk hidden behind his visor. Remind him of who he used to be. Make him remember the cause of his existence.

'That's it Wrath!! Show me your true potential! Show me who you really are!'

'No! Please, don't!' said Envy fearfully.

Gwen wiped away her tears, 'Grandpa! What's going on?'

'I… I don't know.'

Splinter stared at the dragon-human hybrid. Fear tugging his heart as he watch the sanity fading from Wrath's eyes. The blond was going berserk. The rat turned to his genius son, 'Donatello, my son! Did you bring anything which could put Wrath to sleep?'

Donatello blinked, 'Huh? Oh, I think I have something… why?'

'We must calm Wrath. He is walking into Pride's trap, he will lose himself.'

Leonardo gripped his Katana tightly and dashed to dislodge his other Katana which was still stuck in the wall. He spun just in time to defend himself against Pride's Katana. The Silver Knight chuckled and leaped aside to avoid Wrath who was rushing toward him. The blue banded turtle's eyes widened in fear as Wrath didn't make any motion to stop from charging toward him, 'WRATH?!'

'LEO!' cried Donatello as he stood up and rushed to save his brother.

The hybrid's clawed hand was mere inches from Leonardo's face but his attack was deflected when the purple banded turtle threw his Bo and hit his hand. The wooden weapon fell with a 'clack' and the hybrid turned to the owner with a furious glare. Leonardo, fearing that Wrath who had lost his senses would attack his brother slashed downward, creating a wound that goes from the hybrid's left shoulder down to his right hip. The Sin roared in pain and took a few steps back, clutching his wounded chest.

'Wrath! Snap out of it!' said the Fearless Leader.

'Donatello!' cried Splinter.

The purple banded turtle reached into his duffle bag to find the tranquilizer gun he brought along in case he doesn't want to fight with Pride or Envy. He took it out and aimed it at Wrath, 'I'm sorry Wrath, but it's for your own good!'

'Oh no you don't!' said Pride as he manipulated the shadow to make a grab for the gun but the shadow paused suddenly. The Silver Knight growled and grabbed the ivory spikes on his right shoulder; he pulled it out and threw it to the floor. He glared at the Green Knight across the hallway, 'ENVY?! What is the meaning of this?!'

'I-I'm sorry! But I can't let you wake that monster!' said Envy shakily.

Donatello quickly took his chance and shot the dragon-human hybrid but to his dismay the dart couldn't penetrate his scaly skin and fell to the floor. Wrath growled as his wound healed, 'Nobody messes with me!'

The turtle stood stiff as the Sin breathed fire at him. He shielded his face with his hand as the flame approached. Seeing her friend is in danger, Gwen raised her hand, 'Forcus Nebuli!!'

An invisible shield protected the turtle from the incoming flame and Donatello let out the breath he didn't realized he was holding. His head snapped back when he heard Envy let out a pained cry. The Green Knight was on his knees clutching his left arm which was twisted in an odd angle. Leonardo stared at Pride as the shadows seemed to merge with him making him look like a black knight silhouette with glowing golden eyes. He even grew a few feet taller, his head nearly touching the ceiling. The Sin growled, 'You dare betray me?!'

'I'm sorry!' said Envy with a whimper. He let out another pained cry when a shadow suddenly jutted out like a spike and impaled his right thigh. Another spike went through his left shoulder from behind. Gwen shuddered when Pride, who was now as black as coal grinned widely, too wide to be normal. His sharp white teeth reminded her of a shark.

Sloth pushed himself away from the computer, 'Nothing here.'

'So what now?!' asked Gluttony through Michelangelo.

The lazy Sin seemed thoughtful for a moment before he slapped his forehead as if realizing something, 'Of course! I can just use the last code entry she typed into the control system!'

Michelangelo gulped. His eyes shifted back and forth from the Sin to the only exit; which he was sure was locked by a code. He noticed something on his right wrist and looked down to stare at an odd device attached to his arm. He unconsciously pressed a button and it swished open revealing the Omnitrix, 'The Omnitrix…'

He jumped when the door swished shut, 'Damn!' he quickly activated the Omnitrix but he couldn't recall how he knew. He slammed it down as the machine began its process. He felt a sharp pain as the machine and the Omnitrix operating at the same time.

Sloth jumped back when the machine exploded. He didn't notice the blond had activated the Omnitrix when he was inside the machine. The silver haired teen coughed when he inhaled some smoke, 'Duuude, what'd I do wrong?'

He heard a groan from within the machine and he approached it. The Sin raised a brow and stared at the Splixon, 'You didn't?!'

'Aww, shell… that hurts…' said the Splixon as he stood up. He stared at his hands then looked up at Sloth, 'What the shell am I?'

There was another groan and the Splixon turned around to stare at a replica of itself except the replica's color is inverted. The replica sat up, 'Duuude…'

Sloth huffed and crossed his arms in front of his chest, 'Okay, which one of you is Mikey and which one is Gluttony?'

The invert-colored Splixon leaped up to his feet, 'I'm Gluttony.'

'So that means you-'

'But I'm Gluttony!' whined the other Splixon.

'Oookay… this is unexpected,' said Sloth as his shoulders sagged.

'Hey! If you're Gluttony, then what happened to Mikey?!'

'How should I know?! Are you sure you're not Mikey?'

'Well, what about you?!'

'Hey! Hey! Will you two shut up for a minute and let me figure this out?'

The two Splixons grinned and tackled the Sin, 'Gotcha!'

Sloth fell with an 'oof!' and the two mischiefs ran toward the air shaft. The invert-colored Splixon helped his counterpart pry the metal lid off using a scalpel. They then rushed in just as Sloth got up to his feet. The first Splixon turned and stuck his tongue out at the Sin, 'See ya loser!'

'Come back here!!' said Sloth as he turned into liquid.

The Splixon gasped and pushed his other self, 'Hurry up!!'

'Hey, watch it! It's not that- whoa! Is that-' the other Splixon didn't finish his sentence and quickly moved down the small space followed by his other self and the liquefied Sin. The moved right, left, left, right and then they fell down when a metal lid gave way. The Splixons let out startled cry as they fell and landed onto something or rather someone. The bulky man groaned and pushed the two mischiefs off him, 'Hey!'

'Casey! Boy am I glad to see you!' said the Splixons simultaneously.

'What the shell? Mikey? That you?' asked Raphael.

The Splixons beamed, 'Raphie!'

'I got you now!' said Sloth as he fell and became solid startling Raphael and Casey.

They turned to the Splixons when the invert-colored one grabbed his head and groaned. He fell on his knees and the other Splixon fell beside him, 'What's wrong?'

The original Splixon fell back when his counterpart struck him in the chest. The invert-colored Splixon chuckled, his eyes glowing red, 'Finally! I have a body of my own!'

Sloth stared at him oddly, 'Gluttony?'

'Yes it's me you moron!' snapped the Splixon.

'Hey! I'm smarter than you!' said Sloth.

'Damn, didn't expect that,' said Michelangelo.

They were startled when something crashed through the wall behind them. They spun around to face a dragon-human hybrid and Michelangelo instantly recognized it, 'Wrath?!'

The hybrid turned to them and sent chills down their spine as he stared at them with his wild red eyes. The blond bared his teeth and hissed, 'Gluttony… Sloth…'

Gluttony took a few steps back, 'W-Wrath?'

'That's Wrath?!' asked Raphael in disbelief.

Sloth sighed, 'Oh joy… he's finally back to who he was before he became 'human' which means we're dead meat.'

'Brothers!' said Pride as he rose from the shadows in his shadow-like form.

Sloth squint his eyes, 'Pride? That you?'

'Yes. It is I and sadly, I have bad news for you two,' said Pride as he spat Envy's distorted form out of his chest. The Sin whimpered and hugged himself. Sloth and Gluttony stared at the Sin with a hint of fear, shock and disappointment.

'I'm sorry… I'm sorry…' said Envy repetitively.

The silver haired Sin sighed, 'He did something stupid didn't he?'

'Must've pissed you off,' said Gluttony.

Raphael stared at the hole on the wall that Wrath had created, 'W-where're Leo and the others?'

Pride tilted his head, 'Hmm, you mean them?'

Casey's eyes widened when Leonardo, Donatello, Gwen, Max and Splinter's head emerged from Pride's chest. Michelangelo clenched his fists, 'Let them go!!'

Wrath blinked and stared at the Splixon, a familiar feeling came over him but it vanished when Pride spoke, 'You know what to do Wrath.'

The blond Sin roared and rushed toward the vigilante. Michelangelo jumped between them, 'Wrath! DON'T!!'

The dragon-human hybrid skid to a halt and stared at the Splixon. The familiar feeling returned to him again. He shut his eyes when a flash of memory flooded his mind, your arrogance will be your downfall Pride. I am stronger because I fight to protect my loved ones while you who fought for yourself are weak!

'Mikey!' cried a voice.

There was a gasp, 'M-Michel?'

Wrath's eyes snapped open and he found himself staring into violet eyes. Charmcaster stared at him fearfully, a hand over her lips. The hybrid felt pain struck his heart and he took a few steps back. Who? Who is that? He thought. He groaned when images of the silver haired sorceress flooded his mind.

'Wrath! Destroy them!' said Pride irritably.

Charmcaster braved herself to approach the hybrid when she saw his confused gaze. She reached out to him, 'Michel? It's me… Clair.'

'C-Clair?' he asked weakly. Her hand on his cheek gave him peace.

'No! This is not your destiny! You were meant to destroy! You're a Sin, a monster like me!' cried Pride. Everyone froze when the Omnitrix began beeping. The Sins and Michelangelo let out a cry when they were struck by pain at the same time.
