Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles 3: The Secret of the Ooze
Prologue
On our last adventure, our pizza munching heroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles met the famous Pokémon League champion, Ash Ketchum along with his Pikachu, Nancy the Ninetales & Latias, Hilda and her Zoroark and Cilan. The group traveled to New Tork City to visit the Pokémon Nature Park. However, a group of five, revived Pokémon called Genesect came to make the park their new home. But their actions were putting the city in grave danger. The TMNS and Ash & co. had to team up to convince the Genesect that their actions were hurting other people and Pokémon. With the help of a, female genetic Pokémon called Mewtwo and a mutant Feraligatr named Leatherhead, our heroes were able to convince the Genesect Army that they can find them a new home without destroying the city. They all then had to work together to defeat the crazed Team Plasma scientist, Baxter Stockman from destroying the city with his Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. In the end, it was the female Mewtwo and Ash's Mewtwo that saved the city using their Mega Evolved forms. However, Baxter Stockman got away, but the heroes knew they will be ready the next time they fight him.
It wasn't long before the people New Tork City started repairing the damage caused by the Genesect Army and the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. It was night time and Ash and his friends were at the Pokémon Center, having dinner. Iris wasn't present since she wasn't part of Ash's traveling group. Ash deposited Meloetta for the female Mewtwo that he recently obtained. He also nicknamed her, Megan. "So, what did Nurse Joy say about our Pokémon?" asked Hilda. "She said it was going to take a while for Charizard and Braviary to heal for a while. They were pretty banged up by the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R.," said Ash. "Iris' Dragonite was badly hurt too," said Cilan. "Pika," said Pikachu. "Not as banged up as the city got," said Latias. "Yeah. It's been a crazy visit to New Tork City so far. The Ninja Squirtles, killer robots, the Rattata King. This city is full of weirdness," said Nancy. "I wonder what else our visit has in store for us?" asked Ash.
Up on a very tall building, the TMNS were getting ready to do a training exercise. "Fellas, it's go time. Squirtle Formation in three, two, one!" said Leonardo. The TMNS then jumped from the rooftop. Suddenly, Michelangelo crashed onto a statue sticking out from the side of the building. The three other Squirtles piled up on top of him. "What happened to Squirtle Formation?" asked Leonardo. "Squirtle Formation? I thought you said 'Squirrel Formation'," said Michelangelo. "Why would he say 'Squirrel . . . ' What's 'Squirrel Formation'?" asked Raphael. "Guys, chill out. Let's go!" said Leonardo.
Leonardo was then tossed to another building across from the building where they were at. The three others followed. They began to slide across the side of the building. "Hey, Raph, do that thing," said Donatello. "Oh, no. I don't want to do it. It hurts," said Raphael. "Do it, do it, do it . . . Won't stop until you do it, do it, do it," said Donatello. "Okay, fine!" said Raphael. Michelangelo cheered as he skated on his skated on his skateboard. Raphael jumped into a pool and began to swim while Donatello surfaced on top of him. The two jumped out of the pool and into the air again. "Donnie!" said Leonardo. "Here we go!" said Donatello. Donatello then threw Leonardo forward. "You set it up, right?" asked Raphael. "Yeah, he'll be there, I promise," said Leonardo. The four then disappeared into a manhole. The four Squirtles then jumped out of another manhole, near a street corner where a pizza deliveryman was waiting for them with some boxes. Michelangelo grabbed the pizza box. "Thanks, Kevin. See you next week!" said Michelangelo. The pizza deliveryman then walked away.
Meanwhile, April O'Neil was returning home from grocery shopping. A man and his wife were coming out of the apartment entrance. "Hope we can find a cab," said the man. "There are lots of cabs. It's impossible this time of night," said the woman. Just then, the man spotted April. "Hey, I know you. You're, uh . . . ," said the man. "April O'Neil," said the woman. "April O'Neil, yeah. The news lady," said the man. He chuckled. "So how are things in the action-news biz?" asked the man. "Pretty tiring, mostly," said April. "Well, honey, if you cut back on the heavy aerobics and all that jumping and yelling . . . ," said the woman. "It's all right," said the man. "I find it disturbing," said the woman as April got out her keys. "Here, let me get that for you," said the man. "Oh. Oh, right," said April as the man unlocked the door for April. "Right. My aerobics. I'll do that," said April. The door was unlocked and April entered her apartment. "Bye," said April. "Good night, April," said the man as the door closed in front of him. "Was that necessary?" asked the woman. "I saw her on TV," said the man. "A skirt walks by, all of a sudden . . . ," said the woman. "Will you stop already?" asked the man.
April arrived into her apartment room, where Ninetales was waiting. "Hello, Ninetales. I'm home," said April. "Hi," said Ninetales. April put her groceries on the kitchen counter and went to the fridge. April got out a bag of celery and opened up the fridge. When she opened the fridge door, she gasped. She saw that it was a rubber snake. April chuckled. "Oh. Michelangelo," said April, with an amused smile. She picked up the rubber snake and draped it over her neck. She then saw a bunch of comic books on the table. "Leonardo," said April as she picked them up. "Donatello," said April as she picked up Donatello's skateboard. "And Raphael," said April, picking up some exercise elastic bands. "The Raticate is the cleanest one," said April as she went upstairs to put away the stuff. Ninetales giggled.
At the moment, the TMNS arrived to April's apartment, carrying the pizza boxes. "Hello, boys," said Ninetales. "Hello Ninetales," said Michelangelo. "April just got home. She's getting changed into more casual clothes," said Ninetales. Ninetales walked up to Raphael and began to nuzzle her snout against Raphael. Raphael just stared at Ninetales. "What's up with her?" asked Raphael. "Ooh. I think Raphael's got a girlfriend!" said Michelangelo. "I do not!" said Raphael. "Raph's got a girlfriend! Raph's got a girlfriend!" said Michelangelo in a sing song voice. Raphael then did a dope slap on Michelangelo. "Ow!" cried Michelangelo as he got hit. Ninetales just shook her head. "Boys," muttered Ninetales.
At that moment, April came downstairs in her casual clothes. "Hi, guys," said April. "Yo, April," said Michelangelo. "Put it in. Yeah," said Raphael, doing a high five with April. "Hey," said April. "We brought dinner. Mwah," said Donatello, doing a fake Italian accent. "Let's eat," said Raphael. "Over here," said Donatello. "Ah, pizza," said April. "Yup," said Leonardo. "Again," said April. "Pepperoni, with grilled cheese stuffed crust," said Leonardo. "Ooh. That sounds yummy," said Ninetales. "Please, please. A moment to reflect," said Michelangelo. "Ah," said the other Squirtles. The TMNS sniffed the pizza. "Aah," sighed the TMNS. April and Ninetales giggled. "Okay, a slice," said Michelangelo. "Enjoy," said Leonardo. The TMNS and Ninetales each took a slice of pizza. Ninetales began to feast on the cheese that was in the crust. "Mmm. Pizza Tent sure know how to please customers. I never thought Cheddar cheese tasted great in pizza," said Ninetales.
"Ninja pizza," said Michelangelo. "Ninja pizza?" asked Donatello. "Pizza that vanish quickly without trace," said Michelangelo. "Ah. Here you go," said Donatello as he sprinkled oregano on the pizza. "Yo, Mikey, toss me a ninja slice," said Raphael. "Donny, Statue of Liberty," said Michelangelo. "Yeah," said Leonardo. "Come on, throw it," said Raphael. "Go for it," said Michelangelo. The TMNS began to act like football players. Ninetales giggled. "Over here. Here," said Raphael. "Mike, no," said April. "I'm right here," said Rapahel. "Please don't," said April. "He's at the 40. He's at the 20," said Raphael. "Donny," said April. "He looks. He rolls back," said Donatello. Raphael climbed onto the couch. "And he goes. He goes deep," said Donatello as he threw the pizza. "Donatello, stop," said April. But it was too late. Donatello threw the pizza slice like a football and Raphael quickly went behind the couch. April shut her eyes as the pizza went over her and the couch. Instead of hearing a splat, she heard a weapon slice. She turned and saw Raphael caught the pizza slice, with his sai like a fork. "Aha. Touchdown. Yeah," said Raphael. "Yeah," said the TMNS.
"So any luck finding a new place to live yet?" asked April. "Well, you know, in this market it's actually very difficult to find good subterranean housing," said Donatello, looking through a newspaper. "What about Pokémon Hills Nature Park? I'm pretty sure there's plenty of room there," said Michelangelo. "Yeah. But we need a home where we can stick to the shadows," said Leonardo. "Hey, we could always go back to the old sewer den," said Raphael. And he took a bite out of his pizza slice. "Well . . . ," said Donatello. "Oh, yeah. Right, Raph. It's a little tough . . . when about five hundred members of the Foot Clan know where you live," said Leonardo. "He's right," said Donatello. "What? We kicked their butts. They're all in jail. Besides, we took out the Shredder. So what's everybody so worried about anyway?" asked Raphael. "He's right," said Donatello. "No, Splinter took out the Shredder," said Leonardo. "They're both right," said Donatello. "Yeah, yeah. I was there, Leo. Remember?" asked Raphael, getting up. "Old Shred did a swan dive with a half gainer . . . ," said Raphael as he walked up to the open window. " . . . right into the back of a garbage truck! AAAAAAUGH!" yelled Raphael, imitating Shredder.

At that moment, Splinter came down the stairs. "Raphael. Come away from there," said Splinter. "Jeez, I was just . . . ," said Raphael. "Never forget who you are. You are ninja. You must always practice the art of invisibility," said Splinter. "Yeah," said Leonardo. "All of you," said Splinter. "Yeah," said Michelangelo. "Well, I don't get it. I mean, why? We saved the city, twice. Why can't we just go out and . . . ," said Raphael as he came down from the window. Splinter sighed. "Stand before me, my sons," said Splinter. The TMNS stood before Splinter. Michelangelo quickly hid the pizza slice he was devouring behind his back. "For fifteen years, you have been confined below. Now the outside world beckons your teenage minds," said Splinter. "Yeah," said Donatello. "Mm-hm. Yeah," said Michelangelo. "But they could never understand. Their world can never be ours," said Splinter. "Uh . . . ," said Michelangelo, raising a hand. He took out the pizza slice. "Not even pizza?" asked Michelangelo. Splinter thought for a moment. "Pizza's okay," said Splinter. "Ah. Man, give a guy a heart attack," said Michelangelo. Splinter chuckled.
"Here, let me get you guys some napkins," said April. "What for?" asked Michelangelo & Raphael. April sighed and tossed aside the napkins. "Take heart, child. We will not be here much longer," said Splinter. "Oh, no, no. You guys can stay here as long as you want," said April. "All right. Oh, gee. Thanks," said the TMNS. "Technically, ever since we moved here, we became officially your Pokémon," said Donatello. "So true," said Ninetales. "No. We do not belong here, above," said Splinter. "Oh, man," said Michelangelo. "Yes, Master Splinter," said Leonardo. "Yes, Master Splinter," said Raphael, imitating Leonardo. "What?" asked Leonardo. He punched Raphael. "What?" asked Leonardo "Hey. Ten flips now. Go," said Splinter. Leonardo and Raphael groaned in annoyance and went away from the group to do ten flips each. "Ridiculous," said Raphael. "Kids," said Splinter. The two Squirtles began to do their flips. "One," said Leonardo. "One," said Raphael. "Such energy is wasted," said Splinter. "Two," said Leonardo. "Remember, the true ninja is a master of all things," said Splinter. "Three," said Leonardo. "A master of his environment, a master of himself. Focus your thoughts on where we must go . . . and leave the Shredder buried," said Splinter. "Seven," said Leonardo.
At the New Tork City dump, a couple of garbage men were tossing bags of trash onto the large landfill that was collecting at the dump. "Go," said Garbage Man #1. The two jumped onto a garbage truck and it drove off. The landfill was huge and bags of trash and other stuff that was thrown away was sitting there. Among one of the items that was sitting there was Shredder's crushed helmet. A bunch of Trubbishes were gathered at one of part of the pile. But then, part of the trash pile began to shift. Something alive was in there, trying to get out. The Trubbishes were startled by the movement and left as quickly as they could. Then, a Scizor claw with a damaged, spike gauntlet emerged from the pile. For the Shredder, was still alive!
Meanwhile, at a junkyard, a small number of Foot Ninjas were gathering there. "Come on," said one of the Foot Ninjask. Two Foot Ninjas arrived to a building in the middle of the junkyard where some other ninjas were at. "Is this it?" asked Foot Ninja #1. "Everyone else must've been picked up," said Foot Ninja #2. "Well, maybe they didn't find us," said Foot Ninja #3. "Hey, we all knew the junkyard was our fallback spot," said Foot Ninja #2. Just then, Tatsu appeared and growled. "Our father gone," said Tatsu. He then angrily kicked a nearby table, knocking it and its contents down to the ground. "They will pay," said Tatsu," said Tatsu. He then karate chopped a wooden saw horse in two. "I, Tatsu, now lead. Let any who challenge step forward," said Tatsu.
As if right on cue, the Shredder arrived. "I challenge," said the Shredder. His uniform had tears on it and his face had more scars and the horns on his head had been severed. Tatsu and the foot ninja gasped at the sight of the Shredder. "His face," said a Foot Ninja. "Master Sa . . . Shredder," said Tatsu. The Shredder let out a low growl.
The Shredder changed into a new uniform and had a new helmet crafted, which was being sharpened on a knife grinder. "Choose the best man from those that remain to follow the reporter. She is the key to finding the Pokémon that did this to me," said the Shredder. "Yes, master. Next, master, we rebuild the Foot?" asked Tatsu. "No. There is only one thing next. Revenge," said the Shredder.
Here's the first chapter of my third Teenage Mutant Ninja Squirtles fanfiction, the adaptation of "The Secret of the Ooze". This was originally three chapters, but two out of three of them were too short so I merged them into one. As you just read, like in original movie, the TMNS are still trying to find a new home. Also, Ash and co. have to stay at New Tork until their Pokémon heal after their battle with the Cerberus M.O.U.S.E.R. in the last story. Unfortunately for our heroes, the Shredder is still alive and is already plotting revenge. What will happen next? But in the mean time, next chapter, Iris has a battle with the Dragon buster, Georgia as she tests out a new Pokémon to fight Iris . . .
