While walking along the hideout, Bebop and Rockstaedy were talking on a subject that was not related to mutagen for once.
"All this work makes my stomach growl.
I'm going to get crunch bar from breakroom," said the mutan rhino.
"Same here, all this running around for mutagen doesn't leave us much time to eat," the mutant warthog pointed out.
"At least we get bathroom breaks."
"You make a good point there."
But just as they were about to enter, the breakroom, the two got hit with an unexpected surprise.
Bebop and Rocksteady took noticed that the soda machine had been tampered with.
"Hey what happened to all the soda?" asked Bebop.
"Your guess is good as mine commrad," Rocksteady replied.
Suddenly, the two were hit by what appeared to be hard and heavy objects, which turned out to be soda cans.
Correction full and frozen soda cans.
This lasted for a few moments.
Once that ended, the two mutants looked around to see who or what caused the chaos.
"Man, what was all about?" asked Bebop.
"Maybe soda can holder went beserk, Rocksteady, At least we get free beverages."
"True, I'll drink to that."
The half mutants each picked up a can of soda.
However, the two of them got sprayed once the cans were opened.
Bebop and Rocksteady then heard the sound of laughter.
The two half men half mutants looked all over but there was no one to be found.
In his chambers, along with Fishface waiting beside him, Shredder waited patiently for his unexpected guests to arrived.
"We've got them father," said Karai, as she entered, followed by Rahzar, and TigerClaw, along with the turtles and April.
"Well, well, well the rest of the turtles and April O' Neil, what an unexpected surprise," snared Shredder.
"Can the talk metal head head, where's our brother and Casey?!" snapped Raphael.
"What did you do to them?" added April.
"Don't worry princess, you and your turtle buddies will be joining them soon enough," Karai replied, with an evil smile on her face.
Just then, an object came from out of nowhere.
"What was that?!" snapped Shredder.
He pushed Fishface to see what the item was.
The half mutant fish, half human gingerly tapped the object with his fin, only to have something squirt at him.
"What was that stuff?" asked Rahzar.
Fishface licked the liquid around his face.
After tasting it he replied, "It appears to be root beer."
"Root beer?" everyone spoke at once.
Suddenly, a sound came from out of nowhere.
"Goongala!" went the voice.
"Booyakasha!" cried out another voice.
At that very moment, it began to "rain" soda from the ceiling and pop open into Shredder's lair.
Leo, Raph, Donnie and April looked up to see where the soda cans were coming from.
To their surprise, they saw Mikey and Casey, waving and giving big smiles.
April, and the other turtles, even Raphael gave the two smiles and thumbs up.
The blue bandanna wearing turtle thought this would be the best time to make a get away for it.
"Guys! April! Take cover!" Leo called out to his fellow turtles and human sidekick, who took off running, leaving Shredder and his gang to fight off the spraying soda.
The four of them didn't get too far however, as just as they were about to approach the doors, Bebop and Rocksteady blocked them.
"Going somewhere commrads?" said Rocksteady.
"Yeah, why leave when you can stick around," added Bebop.
"I don't think so," said Leonardo, as he, Raphael, Donatello, and April all threw down egg bombs, which caused a large cloud of purple colored smoke to appear.
When the smoke vanished, the rhino and warthog spotted no sign of the turtles or their human sidekick.
"Aww snap, they got away," spoke Bebop.
"Sometimes I think it maybe time for a career change," said Rockstaedy.
"I know what you mean man, I feel that way to.
Maybe an event planner or a cruise ship events director."
All the meanwhile, Leo, Raph, Donnie and April escaped the hideout, and made their way to the shellraiser, where to their surprise, they found Mikey and Casey waiting for them.
"What took you guys so long?" Casey asked.
"Ha ha very funny Jones.
But I gotta say, that was an awesome plan you came up with," said Raphael, as the four turtles and their two human teammates got to the van.
"Don't thank me, it was Mikey who came up with that."
"Thanks Raph, but it was actually Mikey's idea."
"Well then thanks Michelangelo," said Leo.
"You really saved our shells back there," added Donatello.
"Thanks guys, but you know I go by Mikey.
I hate it when I get called Michelangelo, sounds boring," said Mikey.
Donnie, Leo, Raph and April were shocked, but then happy to realized that the orange bandanna clad turtle had returned back to his old personality.
"It's good to have you back little brother," said Leo, as he rubbed his youngest brother's head.
"You mean didn't care for the serious, hard working Michelangelo?" asked Mikey.
"At first we did, however, he or rather you became to put it in not-so-harsh words," said Donnie, who got cut off by Raph, who said, "A pain in the butt."
"In those exact words yes," Donnie finished.
"So you guys would rather have me around than the "new" me?" asked Mikey.
"You bet," Casey answered.
"That goes double for me," added Leo.
"Three," said Donnie.
"Four," April replied.
"Five," spoke Raph.
A smile beamed across Mikey's face.
His family and friends loved him, just the way he was.
Later on, everyone was back at the lair, joined by Splinter and Ice Cream Kitty, celebrating their victory of once again defeating Shredder's gang, along with the return of Mikey, with a few pies from Antionio's pizza of course.
After scarfing a few slices of his favorite jellybean, anchovy, and jalapeno pepper pizza, and letting out a satisfaying burp, Mikey said, "Ahhh! nothing like the taste of pizza to get the taste of beets and brocolli out of my mouth.
I can't believe I actually ate that stuff.
Man, what was I thinking?"
"How about the fact you beat the ever living shells out of us during training?" asked Leo.
"And that you turned your nose up at comic books," Donnie pointed out.
"Along with cartoons and your action figures," added Raph.
"I hope you have learned a valuable lesson Michelangelo.
Sometimes change isn't always for the better," said Splinter, as he sipped his green tea.
"You've got that right master Splinter.
I'm happy just the way I am," said Mikey, who then earned a lick from Ice Cream Kitty, followed be a sweet "meow", as she purred besided him.
The orange bandanna wearing turtle pet her head and said, "I missed you to girl, and everything I loved.
Which reminds me.
I gotta fix my room back to the way it was."
"Uh there is one problem Mikey," said Donnie.
"What is it?" the youngest of the turtles asked.
"Well, you told us you didn't want your stuff anymore so Raph threw it all out," Leo replied.
Mikey gasped, grabbed Raphael by the shoulders and nearly shouted, "You threw out all my comic books!
My action figures!
My iguana with the top hat and monacle!
And Mr. T Bear!
How could you, you monster!"
Leo, Donnie burst out laughing as did Raph who said, "Chillax little brother.
I didn't throw out your junk.
I put it in my room, because I knew you were going to return to your old self."
This caused Mikey to get angry for a new reason.
While he was glad that his stuff didn't get thrown out, he was fuming that his brother played what he called a "sick" joke, and his face had turned as red as that very turtle's bandanna.
"RAPH!" screamed Mikey, as he lunched to Raph in attack mode, while Leo, Donnie, April, Casey, and even Master Splinter, laughed at the doing that was happening.
The End
