A/N: Please read and review?
A large tentacle monster moves down a tunnel.
Leo: Fear. We face it everyday of our lives.
The monster approaches Leo, who lies on his chest.
Sometimes, fear can be a friend who fights by your side...
Leo slowly pulls himself up to his knees, as the monster snarls, before it vanishes.
..making your reflexes quicker, senses sharper.
Leo opens his eyes and looked around, while getting to his feet.
Other times, fear is a liar, confusing you until you can't believe your own eyes.
Leo gasps, seeing Splinter lying on the ground ahead of him.
But the very worst fear: that's the fear that destroys all hope.
Leo approaches his Father, then crouches down near him and turns him over.
And I'm afraid that my worst fear has just come true.
Leo stares at his Father, seeing him not moving a muscle.
"No, Master Splinter? NOOOOO!" Leo yells.
Behind him, burns large fire on the other side of a bridge.
In the garage above the lair, the Turtles were all working on the Battle Shell, as Klunk watched on top of a rock. Mikey worked on the headlights, Raph the front left tire, Leo the engine, Elisa the back left tire, while Cath worked at the back.
"Donnie, these midnight brainstorms of yours have gotta stop?" Raph complained, as Donnie approached Klunk with a blowtorch.
Klunk jumped away as everyone turned to Donnie.
"Are you kidding me?" Donnie asked, lowering goggles onto his eyes. "When we're done, the Battle Shell will be sweeter than-"
He turned on the blowtorch, when a bang came from the garage door.
"Did you hear that?" Cath asked.
"I did." Leo said.
"Guys!" came Angel's voice. "Guys, are you in there?!"
Mikey jumped onto the Battle Shell's hood, closing it, then the Turtles all ran towards the door, then Raph lifted it up, seeing Angel on the other side.
"Guys, you've gotta help me?" she asked.
"Angel?" Leo said.
"Something terrible has happened." Angel explained, hugging Elisa.
"Whoa, Angel, what's wrong?" Elisa asked, pulling back. "What's the matter?"
Later, after Angel explained what was wrong, they all boarded the Battle Shell, then Donnie drove it away, turning left down a street.
"Where are we going?" Donnie asked.
"Wall Street and Hanover." Angel explained.
Leo stared at the digital map.
"Take the West Side Highway." he instructed.
"Wall Street?" Mikey questioned. "Is this about your portfolio? Too many text stocks, huh?"
He turned to Angel slightly, then turned away. He then held up a map of the city, when Angel held up a gold coin in front of him.
"Whoa..." Mikey said, turning to it.
He held his hand out, then Angel put the coin on it.
"Gold? No way?" he said.
"Angel, where did you get a gold coin?" Raph asked.
Angel turned to him and Elisa.
"My brother gave it to me." she explained.
"Well, where'd he find it?" Elisa inquired.
"He found it at the construction job he was working, at the Voplehart building." Angel explained.
"It's dated 1611." Mikey noted, looking carefully at it.
He turned to April.
"Ah! Your brother found buried treasure?" he inquired.
"I told him not to go back." Angel explained. "I told him I had a bad feeling about it. That was three days ago."
"Three days?" Cath inquired.
Angel nodded and put her hands over her eyes, crying.
"Since then, nothing." she cried.
"What did the Police say?" Leo asked.
Angel lowered her hands.
"They said they were too bust dealing with the fallout of the invasion to look for some punk on a treasure hunt." she explained.
Raph hugged her as she turned around.
"It's okay, kid." he assured. "We'll find your bro."
"That's a promise, Angel." Elisa promised, patting her shoulder.
Donnie and Mikey turned to the road, then Donnie turned the Battle Shell right down a street.
"There it is." Angel said.
Donnie pulled the Battle Shell over outside a large building.
"That's the Volpehart building." Angel explained.
Mikey looked out of his window, and saw a large bat statue around a clock.
"Man, talk about creepy central?" he gulped.
Once they were all out of the Battle Shell, Raph and Elisa both pushed the front door open, then the Turtles and Angel all walked inside. They walked through a large reception room, but only saw a picture of a pyramid on the floor, with a large eye above it, and a set of stairs at the end of the room.
"I don't get it." Donnie said, as they stopped. "What kind of building on Wall Street doesn't have any security?"
"Maybe its power's out?" Cath suggested.
"What about Security Guards?" Donnie questioned.
"Touché." Cath muttered, rubbing the back of her head.
Mikey and Angel both stared at a statue in the corner of the room.
"Guys, look?" Mikey called.
His siblings all turned to him, as he looked closely at the statue, seeing a date and inscription.
"'C.F. Volpehart, 1616'." he read.
He turned to his siblings while pointing at the statue.
"Whoa? Can this place be any more like Castle Dracula?" he wondered.
"You have come!" a loud voice hissed.
"Who said that?" Angel gasped.
"What?" Leo asked. "You okay, Angel?"
"Yeah, you look like you've seen a ghost." Elisa noted.
"It's...It's probably just my imagination." Angel said hopefully, approaching them. "I'm a little freaked out is all."
"Come to me?!" the voice hissed. "Find the way?!"
She walked off towards a tapestry, then lifted the bottom up, showing a picture of a pyramid, with a burning eye and a moon above it. She then touched the pyramid, which moved back like a button, then the whole room shook.
"AH!" she gasped, turning around.
"AGH!" the Turtles gasped.
The eye picture on the floor began to retract, showing a spiral staircase as the Turtles turned to it, then they and Angel all looked down it.
"Angel, how did you-" Donnie asked.
"I...I don't know." Angel replied honestly. "I just sort of knew it was there."
"Okay, even I'm getting freaked out here." Cath gulped.
Donnie began to walk down the stairs, followed by Raph, Elisa, Cath, Leo, Mikey and then Angel.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Elisa gulped.
Once at the bottom of the stairs, they all walked through a slightly flooded tunnel - as they was water all over the floor - that was lit by torch brackets. Angel held onto Mikey as they walked down the tunnel, before they stopped at a circular door, which had the same symbol on as what concealed the stairs.
"That symbol seems to be very popular around here." Cath noted.
"Whoa. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to creepsvil." Mikey said.
"What's it say, Don?" Leo asked, seeing writing above the symbol.
"It's Italian." Donnie explained, pointing at it. "It says 'Abandon all hope, ye who enter here'."
"See, what did I tell ya; creepy." Mikey said.
"Yeah. Well, check this out?" Raph asked, pointing left.
Everyone turned and saw a bunch of skeletons lying around.
"AGHH!" Mikey screamed. "Uh, can we get a move on?"
"We gotta find my brother." Angel said worriedly, before she ran towards the door. "He's gotta be in here."
"Angel, no!" Leo said.
Angel began to push on the door, when Elisa ran towards her.
"Angel, wait?" Elisa asked.
The eye above the door then shined bright red, lighting up the whole tunnel, blinding Elisa slightly, making her back away.
"Come to me!" the voice hissed.
All the skeletons eyes glowed red, then they got up and approached the Turtles, as the voice echoed.
"Come to me! Come to me!" it hissed.
The skeletons were all armed with different weapons, as the voice kept echoing. Angel turned around to them from the door, then hid behind Elisa worriedly, as Mikey took his Nunchucks out.
"Ah! Is it just me, or is this way off the creepy meter?" Mikey gulped.
"AH!" Raph growled.
He jumped up, then brought out his Sais and crossed them over while diving down. He then landed near one of the skeletons - dressed like a businessman - and chopped its head off, but then it whacked him away.
"AH!" he moaned.
"Elisa, stay with Angel!" Leo ordered.
"I'm on it." Elisa said, bringing out his Sais.
Angel got behind her as the others charged at the skeletons.
Cath ducked as one - dressed as a pirate - tried to slash her, then she whacked it slightly in the chest with her left Tonfa, knocking it back slightly. She then back flipped away as it tried to slice her across the chest, then she pounced forward while crossing her forearms over, and then shattered it to pieces as she dived through it.
Donnie blocked another's sword - as it was dressed as a maiden - with his Bo, then blocked it again, then again, then jumped up as it tried to slice his legs. He then landed and ducked as it tried to slice his head, before he whacked it away with his Bo, knocking one of its arms off.
Raph stared at one dressed as a hillbilly, then he leaned backwards as it tried to slash him with a pair of daggers, then he kicked it in the chest, knocking it away.
Leo blocked ones sword with his own - as it was dressed as an old Navy Sailor - locking them together, then they pulled apart, then Leo tried to slice it, but it blocked it with its sword, but then Leo punched it in the face, knocking it away.
Raph bent down as one - dressed like a rich man - tried to hit him with its stick, making it hit his shell. He then spun around and kicked it away, then Cath and Donnie all gathered around him.
"There's something seriously wrong here." Donnie noted. "You can hit them, but they just keep coming."
Mikey held up his Nunchucks, as one - dressed as a Native American - tried to wrestle with one, which held his right Nunchuck.
"And..." he said, before punching the skeleton, smashing it to pieces. "..there's more of them. Look?!"
The Turtles and Angel all turned and saw more down the tunnel.
"Just how many of these guys are there?!" Cath exclaimed.
An old man with a lantern then came down the spiral staircase on the other end of the tunnel.
"You fools!" he said. "You cannot kill the dead! Run! You must follow me!"
The Turtles put their weapons away, then - along with Angel - all ran past the skeletons towards the man. The skeletons then followed them at a walking pace, as they all ran up the stairs, first Angel, then Elisa, Donnie, Cath, Mikey, Raph and Leo. Once they were all at the top and in the reception room, the man hit the hidden panel, closing the staircase entrance, chopping off the Navy Officer's skeleton's head off as it did.
The skull rolled towards Raph's feet, as everyone stared at it.
"What the shell is going on around here?!" Raph questioned loudly.
"Silence!" the man said.
He approached Angel and the Turtles as they turned to him.
"You should not have come here." he said. "But, it is too late now."
"What do you mean?" Elisa inquired, confused.
"You have gone too far." the man explained. "There is no going back. If you truly wish answers to your questions, then follow me."
He turned and walked towards the stairs, then Angel and the Turtles all followed.
Later, they were all in the study, the man stood near the fireplace - which had a lit fire - while Angel and the Turtles stood near him.
"Uh, sir, aren't you the least bit freaked out?" Donnie asked, as the man turned around. "I mean, seeing us?"
"I have seen many strange things in my life." the man assured, turning out the lantern. "Very little surprises me. But know this, the money you seek will never be yours. It is bait for a trap. Only a gruesome fate awaits those who go after it."
"We're not here for the money." Angel assured, touching Raph's and Elisa's shoulders. "We're looking for my brother. Tall, brown hair."
"He found this coin here and came back looking for more." Leo explained, holding it up. "That would've been about three days ago."
"Yes, he was here." the man assured, taking the coin. "I gave him the same warning I give them all, but he ignored me."
"Do you know what happened?" Elisa asked.
"He went through the door, and will never return." the man explained.
"Then we'll just have to go in after him." Raph said, touching his Sais.
"Ignoramus!" the man hissed.
"Hey, easy, Raph?" Elisa said, touching his arm. "Clam down."
Raph turned to her, as the man picked up a book on a bookshelf.
"Perhaps you will change your mind when you know something of what you will find there." the man explained, putting it on his desk, then brushed some dust off of it.
"Huh?" Cath muttered.
(Flashback)
1000 years ago, a meteor shot towards a rainforest surrounded by rivers.
"1000 years ago, there fell to Earth, a meteorite."
The meteor hits the forest and explodes slightly, creating a large hole and smokescreen on the ground.
"It brought with it, a creature of terrible evil, and insatiable hunger."
The smokescreen cleared, showing a shining red stone.
"Whispering promises of great wealth and power, the..."
The stone was soon surrounded by tents, as it glowed brightly.
"..creature lured the gluttonous and greedy to its side. Fortunately, the Native people..."
A Native American man bangs a rock on a stone, made from the red stone.
"..proved too strong of character."
The Native banged the rock on the stone jewel again, making the end of a spear.
"In fact, they created a weapon to protect themselves from the creature..."
The Native picked up the red stone.
"..a weapon made from the glowing red stone of the meteor itself."
The Native held a spear, with the red stone on the end.
"But, before the Natives could slay the atrocity with the meteor spear, the call of the creature's lure had reached it across the sea, to a race of men filled with greed, for the gold of the new world."
The Native looked at the sea, showing the Mayflower ship though a log fog and cloud.
"One such man was C.F. Volpehart."
Volpehart walked up a hill, before he came towards the Native, carrying a sword. He then held up his sword, as the Native approached him, then he tried to stab the Native, but missed as he dodged, then Volpehart turned around as the Native came at him. Volpehart then elbowed the Native in the chest, knocking him away, but he back flipped after hitting the ground. He then threw the spear at Volpehart, who dodged it, then grabbed it while spinning around, grinning menacingly.
"Volpehart took the land by force..."
Volpehart dug the spear into the ground.
Soon, two small buildings were built on the ground.
"And so..."
The buildings soon change into larger ones - one resembling the Volpehart building - surrounded by more many more buildings.
"..Volephart's fortune grew. His dark legacy..."
The buildings around the Volpehart building turn into present day New York.
"..endured. And the ancient evil..."
Volpehart stood in the study, which had a picture of himself above the fireplace, while lots of gold lay around the room.
"..creature from the stars thrived."
The monster's tentacles move towards Volpehart.
"It is no..."
A map of New York rests on a wall, with lots of dots on.
"..accident that the financial capital for the entire nation surrounds this very edifice..."
(Flashback ends)
"..the Volpehart Building." the man explained.
"But, what about you?" Leo asked. "How do you fit into this?"
"I...I am Volpehart's heir." the man explained, before turning to the fire. "I vowed to destroy the creature..."
(Flashback)
The old man walked through a tunnel, holding the Meteor Spear.
"..to life the curse from my family."
He then stopped and raised the spear up, staring at the monster.
"But, I was too weak..."
He closed his eyes while turning away, lowering the spear.
"..too long under its influence."
He raised the spear again while turning to the monster.
"No matter how much I desired to end..."
He fell to his knees while dropping the spear, unable to throw it.
"..its accused life, I could not."
The monster's tentacles swarm over the man.
(Flashback ends)
The man leaned against the fireplace, as the Turtles and Angel stared at him.
"Do you still wish to face this beast?" he asked, turning to them.
Leo turned to Angel and his siblings.
"We don't have a choice." he said.
"We have to." Raph said.
"Angel's brother is counting on us." Elisa said.
"You have courage." the man commented.
He pressed a button on a wall, showing a small hatch which had the Meteor Spear, which he then picked up.
"Here, the Meteor Spear." he said, turning around.
Leo took it from it.
"May it serve you in your time of need." the man wished.
Soon, the Turtles all approached the symbol on the floor, as the hatch opened up, showing the spiral staircase. They all stood near it and stared at the stairs, when Angel ran towards him.
"Hey, guys, wait up?" she said.
"Sorry, Angel, you gotta stay here where it's safe." Leo said, as they turned to her.
"It's too dangerous, Angel." Cath reasoned.
"Please, find my brother?" Angel asked.
"We will, I promise." Leo promised.
Elisa approached Angel and touched her shoulder.
"We'll bring him back, Angel." she promised. "And if that creature's harmed him, it'll pay dearly."
The Turtles then all walked down the stairs and back into the tunnel, Leo using the Meteor Spear as a light. The door at the end then lit up bright red, then the remaining skeletons began to rise up again.
"Great! He come the bone brothers again!" Raph complained.
"Back off!" Leo demanded, pointing the spear at them.
The skeletons all gasped and backed away.
"AGGHHH!" they screamed.
They all moved aside as the Turtles approached the door, which then opened up. They then all walked down another tunnel, as the door closed behind them all.
"Well, here goes." Cath said nervously.
"It'll be okay, sis." Elisa assured, touching her shoulder.
Leo led his siblings left down the tunnel.
"You guys buy that old man's story?" Raph asked.
"After those skeletons, I'm about ready to believe anything." Leo answered.
"And how do you explain the spear, Raph?" Elisa inquired. "I mean, if it was fake, it wouldn't glow like that."
"Right." Raph grumbled.
They soon entered a chamber lair, with a burning fire at the end of a large symbol like the one hiding the staircase.
"Whoa." Donnie said. "I guess that's the meteor the old man told us about."
"I agree." Cath said. "But what is this place?"
"You got me." Mikey shrugged.
Leo approached a bunch of cocoons.
"Guys, over here." he said. "What are these?"
His younger siblings all approached him. He then took out one of his swords, and then sliced a cocoon open, then the Skeleton of a Union Civil War soldier popped out, along with notes of money.
"AGHHH!" it roared.
Several notes fell out of the cocoon, then Donnie picked one up.
"This is a Civil War bond." he said. "This guy must be 150 years old."
"Poor guy." Cath sighed. "Judging by his uniform, I'd say he was on the Union side."
"There are thousands of these cells." Leo noted. "If Angel's brother ended up in here, it could take us weeks to find him."
"Weeks he may not have." Cath said. "If he's all alone in there, he could starve like this guy."
The Turtles all began moving through the chamber, when a large red tentacle came out of every hole in the lair.
"Come to me!" the voice hissed.
Mikey turned around as his siblings walked on, as a tentacle got near them.
"Uh, guys..." he said.
His siblings all turned around.
"Don't look now, but the creepy meter just went Defcon 1!" Mikey exclaimed.
More tentacles began to show up, then they surrounded the Turtles, who took out their weapons - expect Leo.
"I feel like we're trapped in the Chamber of Secrets here!" Elisa exclaimed.
"I won't argue there, sis." Cath agreed.
"Is it more than one creature?" Leo asked.
"I don't know." Donnie answered nervously, holding his Bo up.
"I don't wanna know." Mikey said, spinning is Nunchucks.
"Hyah!" Raph yelled, jumping forward.
Mikey and Cath both tried to whack a tentacle with their weapons, as Leo tried to slice another with the spear, but they all missed.
"AGHHH!" Mikey yelled, as a tentacle wrapped around him.
"Mikey!" Donnie yelled.
"Mikey, no?!" Cath cried.
"WHOA!" Mikey yelled, as the tentacle lifted him up.
Raph jumped off a tentacle and began charging towards the one holding Mikey.
"Hold on!" he yelled.
Another tentacle wrapped itself around him from behind, lifting him up.
"RAPH!" Elisa yelled.
Another tentacle wrapped around her, then another wrapped around Cath, lifting them both up.
"UHH!" they grunted.
Leo held one off with the spear, when another wrapped around Donnie and lifted him up.
"AGGHH!" Donnie grunted.
Leo turned around and tried to grab him, but the tentacle lifted him away.
"Huh?" Leo muttered.
Another tentacle then wrapped around him and lifted him up, making him drop the spear.
"AGH!" he groaned.
The spear hit the ground, then the six tentacles moved towards it.
"AGGH!" Leo grunted.
Another tentacle then shot towards him, covering in gunk.
"NOOOOO!" he yelled.
Later, Leo woke up inside a cocoon, as though he'd had a nightmare. He looked around, seeing he was covered in gunk, before a figure outside began whacking on the cocoon. Leo turned just as the figure cut the cocoon open, seeing it was Splinter.
"Huh?" Leo muttered.
Splinter pulled the cocoon open.
"Master Splinter, what are you doing here?" Leo asked, as Splinter helped him out.
"I sensed you were in trouble, my son." Splinter explained, wrapping Leo's arm around him as they walked off down a purple tunnel. "I came to rescue you."
They both stopped.
"Where are the others?" Leo asked, falling to his knees.
"We must find them." Splinter explained.
They both looked up as stones fell from the top of the cave, seeing five of the monsters tentacles.
"And we must hurry!" Splinter added.
Meanwhile, Donnie was walking down a yellow tunnel, but then stopped when he saw Angel in front of him.
"Angel?" he questioned, as she approached him. "What are you doing here? We told you to stay outside."
Angel laughed menacingly, before she turned around and ran down the tunnel.
"This is no time for games!" Donnie called, as she turned right. "Wait up?!"
He chased after Angel down the tunnel.
"Where you going?" he asked.
He entered the monster's lair - now with a yellow background - and saw Angel walking along near the fire.
"Angel, I don't know what's going on, but get away from the edge?" Donnie asked.
Angel turned and laughed, but then lost her footing.
"Ah!" she gasped, before she fell. "AGGGHHHHHH!"
"AH!" Donnie gasped.
He ran towards the edge, then stared down at a large pit, seeing no sign of Angel.
"NOOOO!" he cried.
Elsewhere, Cath was walking down a red tunnel.
"Don, you here?" she called. "Leo? Elisa?!"
"Looking for your family, Catharina?" a voice smirked.
"NO!" Cath gasped, recognizing it.
She ran down the tunnel, then saw her Mikey all lying strapped on a table.
"Cath, help?!" he cried.
"Mikey, hang on" Cath cried, running towards him.
"It's too late." the voice smirked.
Cath stopped and looked up, seeing Bishop holding a buzzsaw in one hand, who then approached Mikey.
"Bishop!" Cath exclaimed angrily, tears in her eyes. "How'd you get here?!"
"That doesn't matter, cause soon you and Michelangelo here won't be around." Bishop grinned.
Cath gasped as he powered up his buzzsaw, before holding it near Mikey's face.
"AGHHH!" he screamed.
"You leave him alone, you monster?!" Cath demanded.
She charged at Bishop, before a cage fell aroudn her, trapping her.
"Huh? Let me outta here, Bishop?!" she demanded, pulling on the bars.
"Oh, I don't think so, my precious DNA sample." Bishop smirked. "First him, then you."
He moved his buzzsaw towards Mikey, cutting his shoulder slightly.
"AGHHH!" Mikey yelled.
"NOOOOOOO!" Cath cried.
Mikey woke up in a dark blue tunnel as water dripped from the ceiling.
"Uh." he moaned, getting to his knees. "Uh. Leo? Donnie? Cath? Ellie? Raph?"
He turned around worriedly.
"Are you guys here?" he called.
He turned back as Leo showed up.
"I'm here, Mike." he said.
"What happened?" Mikey asked, confused.
"The creature got us, but it was merciful." Leo explained.
Mikey looked even more confused.
"It offered us the chance to join it, to serve it." Leo explained. "To become like it. I took its offer."
A bunch of tentacle came out from where Leo's left hand should've been, then he charged at Mikey, hissing angrily.
"Eww." Mikey said, backing away.
He took out his Nunchucks, but then Leo wrapped one of his tentacles around it as he tried to hit him.
"AHH!" Mikey yelled.
Leo wrapped another tentacle around Mikey's arm, before kicking him in the chest.
"AGH!" Mikey yelled.
He went flying away, before hitting the ground on his chest.
"OH!" he moaned.
He pulled himself up slightly, and stared at Leo.
"Leo..?" he said.
Leo laughed evilly, before his tentacles shot at Mikey.
"NOOOO!" Mikey cried.
Elisa walked down a orange tunnel, looking around worriedly.
"Okay, guys, come out?" she called. "This isn't funny!"
A noise made her turn around, seeing Raph behind her.
"Raph, don't scare me like that?" she asked, touching her heart.
"Sorry, sis." Raph said. "But I found something. Come on."
He turned around and ran off, then Elisa chased after him.
"What is it?" Elisa asked.
"You'll see." Raph said.
They both stopped and peeked behind a wall.
"I can't see anything." Elisa said.
"Exactly." Raph smirked.
He elbowed her in the chest, knocking her back.
"OH!" she moaned. "Raph, what are-"
Raph brought out his Sais as his eyes glowed red, then he pounced on her, pinning her to the ground.
"You've given into your anger, haven't you?" Elisa asked frantically.
"So what if I have?" Raph snarled. "I like it this way!"
"Raph, no!" Elisa pleaded. "Don't give in?! Please?"
Raph ignored her and went to stab her with his right Sai.
Raph walked down a green tunnel as water dropped from the ceiling, when he heard sinister laughter.
"Huh? What's that?" he gasped, stopping. "Who's there?"
He looked around, before the Shredder stepped out of the shadows in front of him.
"Shredder?" Raph snarled.
He gritted his teeth angrily, while bringing his Sais out.
"Why am I not surprised you're behind all this?!" he snarled. "Bring it on?!"
He twirled his Sais around, then tried to stab Shredder with his right one, but missed as he backed away, then Shredder dodged a slash from his left one. Shredder then blocked his right with his left forearm, before punching him in the chest.
"AGHH!" Raph moaned.
He went flying down the tunnel, before hitting the ground on his back, then he back flipped and rolled backwards, before hitting a wall.
"Ah!" he moaned.
A few rocks fell on him, then he rubbed his head.
"Alright, Shred-head, let's try that again?!" Raph snarled.
He got up and charged at Shredder, then handspringed forward and kicked him with both feet, knocking him down. His armour clanked as he hit the ground, then Raph landed on his feet behind him, then he back flipped and hit Shredder in the belly with his elbow, before Shredder punched him in the face.
"AH!" Raph moaned.
He fell onto his shell, then Shredder grabbed his face and pinned him onto the ground.
"AGGHH!" Raph grunted.
He then punched Shredder in the face, knocking his helmet off, sending it flying away. Shredder then looked down, shocking Raph, as it was his own face instead of Oroku Saki's.
"No! You're...you're me?" Raph gasped.
Shredder Raph laughed and punched him in the face with his gauntlet hand.
Leo and Splinter both stared up at the tentacles in their tunnel.
"Master Splinter, the creature! Look out!" Leo yelled.
He ran off to his left, while Splinter back flipped as the tentacle tried to whack him. He then blocked another tentacle with his stick, then he turned and kicked a third away. He then rolled away as the second tried to hit him, then he got up and turned around, just as three tentacles wrapped themselves around him, which then lifted him up.
"Leonardo!" he yelled.
Leo sliced two tentacles up with his swords, before turning to Splinter.
"Huh?" he gasped.
The tentacles all squashed Splinter tight.
"LEONADRO!" he yelled.
The tentacles then let him go, making him fall down towards the ground as Leo watched in horror, putting his swords away.
"NO!" Leo cried, running forward.
He crouched near his Father and turned him over, seeing he wasn't moving.
"Master Splinter?" he said. "Master Splinter? NO! NOOO! NOOOOOOO!"
Later, Leo woke up in the cocoon again, still covered in the slime.
"Ah!" he gasped.
He looked around confused, before someone banged on the cocoon. He turned as the figure cut it open, showing it was Splinter, confusing him.
"Master Splinter?" Leo said, as Splinter pulled it open.
He helped Leo out of the cocoon.
"Master Splinter, I... I thought I saw you?" Leo swore, looking around. You were-"
Splinter touched his shoulder. "You are confused, my son." he assured.
"No, I'm sure." Leo said, lowering Splinter's arm. "I saw that monster. He picked you up..."
He walked off past Splinter, while closing his eyes and putting his hands on his head.
"You were... You can't be my master." Leo said.
Splinter's eyes glowed red, then he picked up his walking stick.
"Something's not right." Leo said.
He stopped, just as Splinter spun around and whacked him with his stick.
"AGHH!" Leo yelled, flying across the tunnel. "Uh!"
He hit the ground on his chest, before he turned around.
"Master Splinter?" he questioned.
"You have disappointed me, Leonardo." Splinter said. "I must now teach you your final lesson."
Leo turned onto his shell as Splinter approached him.
"Master Splinter, no?" he begged.
Splinter raised his stick over his head.
"NOOOOO!" Leo cried.
Leo's eyes widened as Splinter lowered his stick to hit him, but he then kicked Splinter in the chest, knocking him away.
"AH!" Splinter moaned.
Leo rolled over, then pulled himself up.
"This can't be happening?" he hoped. "This can't be real?"
He turned and saw one of his swords dug into the ground.
"None of this can be real?" he questioned, running towards it.
He picked up his sword, then turned and pointed it at Splinter.
"You can't be Master Splinter?" he said.
Splinter held his hand out, then his stick shot into his hands, then tried to hit Leo, but missed as he dodged. He then sliced Splinter's stick in half, then backed away as Splinter tried to hit him with the right end, then Splinter jumped and kicked him in the chest with both feet.
"UH!" Leo moaned.
He hit the ground on his shell, then gasped as Splinter dived towards him, holding both ends of his stick like stakes.
"AHH!" Splinter growled.
Leo lifted his sword up and stabbed him as he dived over him, making him drop the ends of his stick.
"OHH!" he moaned.
He moaned in pain.
"Leonardo, what have you done?" he asked, opening his eyes - now their normal colour.
"NO!" Leo said, closing his eyes. "It's not real! IT'S...NOT...REAL!"
Splinter's eyes turned red, then he laughed evilly.
Leo then woke up back in the cocoon, still covered in gunk while looking around. He then took out his swords, then cut his way out and jumped out, seeing it was glowing bright red. He looked around and saw he was in the normal lair, with the fire still burning, then turned around, and saw five of the cocoons glowing red like his had been, telling him his siblings were in one each.
He ran towards one, then frowned angrily, before cutting it open, as Mikey whimpered in his sleep inside.
"Oh..." Mikey whimpered, as Leo opened up the cocoon.
(Mikey's mind)
Dream Leo ran towards him as he lay on the ground.
"Listen to me, Mikey, this isn't real." he explained.
Mikey woke up, covering in gunk.
Dream Leo turned to the real Leo.
"You have to wake up." he said.
(Reality)
Leo touched Mikey's shoulder as he woke up.
"What?" Mikey gasped.
He turned to Leo, who pulled open more of the cocoon.
"Leo, what happened?" Mikey asked.
"It was a dream, a nightmare." Leo explained, before he turned and walked off, as Mikey climbed out of the cocoon. "Come on. We've gotta wake the others up."
He brought out one of his swords.
After freeing their siblings, all six Turtles stood together.
"Somehow this creature - whatever it is - was manipulating our minds." Leo explained.
"And giving us those horrible nightmares?" Cath asked.
"Yes." Leo said, turning around.
"Well, I don't like being anybody's lunch, asleep or awake." Mikey said, folding his arms.
"Let's get Angel's brother and get the shell outta here." Raph said, pointing behind him.
"But we still don't know which cell he's in." Elisa argued.
"When I opened your cells, they were glowing." Leo explained. "Something to do with the creature's power."
"So Angel's brother is in bound to be one glowing too." Cath deduced.
"There!" Leo said, pointing at a glowing one.
The Turtles all ran towards it, then Raph cut it open with one of his Sais. He and Elisa then pulled it open, showing Angel's brother Ryan, covering in gunk, having the same type of nightmare they'd all have.
"No, don't?!" he begged. "She's just a kid? AGGGHHHH"
"Give me a hand?" Raph asked, touching Ryan's shoulder.
Later, the Turtles all walked down a tunnel, Raph and Leo holding Ryan's arms around their shoulders, while Cath touched his left forearm.
"He's okay." she said. "Just shocked."
"Huh?" Ryan muttered.
He opened his eyes as the Turtles stopped.
"Huh? Wha? Who..?" he said, backing away from Leo, Raph and Cath. "Who are you?"
He bumped into Donnie, making him turn and fall down.
"Don't worry, you're hallucinating." Raph said.
"Yeah, we're figments of your imagination." Cath assured. "Now come on, let's get you outta here before-"
The whole tunnel shook.
"Too late, sis." Raph said.
The monster's tentacles moved towards them all, then one hit the ground slightly, making the tunnel shake. Leo, Elisa and Donnie all then jumped away as it tried to hit them, then Donnie landed near it and rolled away again as it tried to whack him. Raph and Mikey then jumped away as another tried to hit them, then Mikey jumped over it as it tried again.
"AH!" Ryan yelped, as a few approached him.
"Huh?" Cath gasped, jumping over one.
The tentacles around Ryan wrapped around him and lifted him up, as Cath ran towards him, bringing her Tonfas out.
"AGHHH!" Ryan yelled.
Leo rolled along the ground with his swords out, as Raph and Mikey wrestled with one tentacle, before it banged them agaisnt the ceiling.
"AGHH!" they moaned.
The tentacle moved back, as they both fell towards the ground.
"Oh!" Mikey moaned.
"Ah!" Raph moaned.
They both got up, then they and Leo jumped away from one tried to hit them.
Elisa sent slashes with her Kamas as one came at her, but missed as it kept moving back, before it whacked her in the chest.
"OH!" she moaned.
She went flying away before hitting the ground on her chest.
"OHH!" she moaned.
Donnie backed away with his Bo, before one tentacle hit him, knocking him away.
"Ah!" he moaned, back flipping.
He landed on his feet, then backed away as it tried to hit him. He landed near his siblings, just as Cath was knocked by a tentacle, sending her flying towards them.
"AGHH!" she yelled, before landing on her shell. "Oh, I really felt that one!"
A tentacle then hit Raph in the chest, knocking him away into a rock right behind him.
"AH!" he moaned.
Another tentacle then knocked Mikey away down the tunnel.
"OOH!" he moaned.
He got up and turned around, just as another whacked him in the chest, knocking him away.
"OH!" he moaned.
Donnie ducked as a tentacle nearly stabbed him, before Mikey landed on him, pinning them both on the ground.
"OHH!" they moaned.
Elisa dodged as a tentacle tried to hit her, then she tried to slice it with her Kamas, but missed as it backed away. Another then whacked her in the chest as she turned around, sending her flying across the tunnel, before she landed on Cath, who just pulled herself up.
"OOHHHH!" the girls moaned.
Leo back flipped as a tentacle tried to hit him, landing on a rock, then he jumped down from it. He landed on the ground, then jumped away as the tentacle tried to hit him again, landing on the edge right near the fire.
"Uh, ah!" he gasped, nearly falling towards it.
He turned around as tentacles came towards him, then he jumped backwards as one tried to hit him, landing on the other side of the fire near the meteor. He turned and saw the Meteor Spear beside him
"The Meteor Spear." he said, picking it up.
He held it up as the tentacles came closer to him, as the ground beneath them rose up, then the monster they belonged too - called the Necro Monster - rose up and growled.
Raph and Mikey jumped away as the ground began to crack open, then Cath and Elisa did the same. The rest of the Necro Monster rose up, showing it resembled a mixture of a large lobster, squid and scorpion, then its meteor head shined brightly over Leo, who backed away.
"Feel my power?" it asked. "See my strength? You cannot fight me. You cannot win!"
The light from his meteor head began to hypnotise Leo.
"If you serve me, I will give you cites. I will give you power and wealth. I will give you the world." the Necro Monster said.
Leo's eyes turned red.
"The world?" he grinned evilly.
He threw the spear down, but then flinched and snapped his eyes shut, shaking his head.
"Ah!" he grunted, opening his eyes.
He dived forward and grabbed the spear, then rolled along the ground.
"Sorry, not interested!" he spat, holding the spear up.
He threw it at the Necro Monster, hitting the meteor on its head.
"AGGGHHHHH!" it screeched.
Leo covered his eyes with his forearms as the lair lit up brightly, before the Necro Monster and the light vanished, confusing him, his siblings and Ryan, who all got up confused.
Up in the study, Angel stared at the old man as he paced around, before he leaned on the table.
"You're friends have done it." he said.
Angel approached him as he wiped sweat from his forehead.
"They have defeated the beast." he said, falling to his knees.
He took his glasses off as Angel stared at him.
"I am free from its grasp." he said.
"Free? What do you mean?" Angel asked.
"My name is, C.F. Volpehart." the man explained, turning around, his eyes glowing red.
He closed his eyes, before he fell onto his chest.
"OHH!" he moaned.
He began to fade away into dust, leaving only his clothes behind.
Angel backed away horrified, when the door behind her opened up, making her turn around.
"Huh?" she gasped.
She saw Leo and Raph helping Ryan into the room.
"Angel?" Ryan said.
"Ryan? Ryan?!" Angel said happliy.
She ran towards him and hugged him, as Elisa, Donnie, Cath and Mikey all entered the room.
"You're alright." Angel sighed happily.
"He will be, after a nap, and a shower." Donnie said.
Raph and Leo let Ryan go, as Cath handed him a cloth to clean himself with, as Mikey walked off.
"Hey, where's the old dude?" Mikey asked, turning around.
Ryan cleaned his hair as Angel turned around.
"You're standing on him." she explained.
Mikey looked down and flinched at the dust coming from the clothes.
"AH!" he yelped.
He moved away while shaking his legs.
"Gross." he said. "Gross! Gross! AGH!"
"What happened to him?" Cath asked.
"Long story." Angel replied.
"Come on, let's go home." Donnie said. "I've had more than enough weirdness for a lifetime. Let alone one day."
He walked towards the door, as Mikey turned to the remains of Volpehart, still shocked.
Soon, once everyone was onboard the Battle Shell, Elisa drove it away from the Volpehart building, then turned it left down the street.
Nearby, a businessman walked towards a phonebooth, then stopped near it was it rang. He walked into it, then picked up the phone curiously.
"Hello?" he said.
"Come to me?" came the Necro Monster's voice. "Serve me? I will give you power and wealth. I will give you the world!"
The man's eyes lit up red, then he began to laugh evilly, as the Necro Monster had taken him over.
A/N: In case you're wondering, Cath's biggest fear is not being able to help her family and friends when they need her.
Elisa's however, is not being able to stop Raph from going too far with his anger, making him turn evil, since I couldn't think of anything else for her.
