An entire week went by and both Leo and Donnie gave on this being a temporary change. They weren't going to wear clothes again, which annoyed them greatly. Meanwhile, Raph and Mikey have completely adjusted to the new lifestyle. Clothes were a thing of the past to them.
And now, tonight was going to be their first patrol without clothing, and it was going to be an experience for all of them.
The turtles left the lair and went on the rooftops, surveying the landscape, trying to find some crime nearby.
"You guys see anything?" asked Leo.
"Nope. Nothing." said Raph.
"Na-da." said Mikey.
"Negative." said Donnie.
"(Sigh) You know, maybe we should head back to the lair. I'd rather not fight crime like this." said Leo.
"Why? You're scared of what people will think?" asked Raph.
"I'm not scared. I just don't want to do this… naked." said Leo.
"Leo, criminals feared us when we had clothes on. You really think there's going to be much difference with our clothes off?" said Raph.
"There shouldn't be. They just see us as giant, green turtle monsters." said Mikey.
"But…it's not right. Donnie, back me up here." said Leo.
"Sorry Leo, but Raph has a point. Clothes aren't going to influence how our enemies see us." said Donnie.
"Yeah dude, it's not a criminal is going to see us and be like, 'Good grief, they're naked! I got to get out of here!'. They're still going to try to kick our asses and fail miserably." said Mikey.
"Language, Mikey. (Sigh) And fine. You guys are right. I admit it. Happy?" asked Leo.
"Very much so." said Raph.
Suddenly, the turtles heard a scream nearby and when they looked down from the rooftop, they saw a mother and her child being cornered by members of a low-life group known as the Purple Dragons.
"Here we go. I can finally let my aggression out on something that's not you guys." said Raph.
The turtles dropped in on the situation and as Raph predicted, the Purple Dragons were frightened of them, but they didn't make a single comment on their lack of clothes.
"Alright guys, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice." said Raph.
"Shut up, freak. Like we'd do anything you say." said one of the Dragons.
"I guess you're choosing the hard way." Raph said before delivering a sick KO punch to the Dragon's face.
Leo then told the mother and child, "Go! Get out of here!"
"Thank you." the mother said before she and her child ran away from the scene.
The turtles then engaged in a one-sided fight against the Purple Dragons. And while fighting, Leo and Donnie were surprised by how much better they fought without the restrictions of clothing. They were able to stretch their legs further than they ever could and not worry about tearing their clothes.
In a mere few minutes, the Purple Dragons were on the ground, writhing in pain, as the turtles went back to the lair and celebrated their successful night.
"Dudes, we kicked serious shell tonight! Those Purple Dragons won't try to fight us again." said Mikey.
"Mikey, I wouldn't say that. You know how stubborn criminals can be." said Donnie.
"Well, I guess we're going to have to keep beating them up until they get the message." said Mikey.
The turtles were about to go back to their respective rooms, until Leo stopped Raph from leaving.
"Raph, we need to talk." said Leo.
"What is it, Fearless?" asked Raph.
"I just wanted to tell you that after really thinking about it, this whole nudist thing you got us into… isn't the worst thing in the world." said Leo.
"Wow. Fearless admitting to being wrong twice in one night. That's got to be a record." said Leo.
"Yes, I was wrong. I can't be right all the time. None of us can. And I'm sorry I gave you so much shit for this whole thing." said Leo.
"Woah, Fearless is swearing now. You're actually breaking your own code." said Raph.
"Yeah, but don't get used to it. I hate profanity as much as you hate crime." said Leo.
Raph laughed before saying, "Okay, apology accepted."
The two brothers then had one of their rare hugs, which was awkward for Leo, since Raph was wider than him.
After hugging, the brothers went to their rooms and eventually went to sleep.
Hope you enjoyed the story. I know this chapter was short, but I thought it turned out alright. It had a nice, little happy ending. And I feels so good to finish off another story I started years ago. I've completed 4 this month alone, which is awesome. Now, I'm working on a ton of stories right now (one-shots, old stories, new stories), so stay tuned for more updates. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now and stay safe.
