Angel: Sorry for the delay in this episode, it took a while for it to be posted online. I had a website given to me by a user, but it was glitchy and I barely got 3 minutes in. So I just looked around and used a website I use regularly. And no, I didn't post Down with the Sickness if you looked at this chapter first. I decided to do each of the 11 minutes as their own chapter because some of the title names are too long to put into another episode with it.
Amy is closing her shop as she's packing up her pre-paid orders. Her electricity reacts, shocking her slightly. She huffs in annoyance as she was still trying to control them. Someone comes in and she doesn't look up. "Shop's closed," She calls out like she's used to people barging in when the bakery is closed. Honestly, if she had a dollar every time someone came in wanting something, she'd be a billionaire, and yes, the turtles count.
The customer walks up to the display case and she groans slightly as she turns around. "I'm sorry, but I just said that-" She sees no one and gives a look of confusion as she glances around the shop. No one seemed to be there.
She hears someone clearing her throat and she looks down to see a short boy with brown hair, blue eyes, and looks pretty professional, like a businessman even though he looks like he's 10. He has freckles on his cheeks and Amy had to admit, it was a little adorable. Only a little.
"Erm, I want to help you, believe me, but-"
"Oh, I'm not here as a customer," The boy glances at the display case. "I'm here as an investor."
Amy raises an eyebrow as she places down the box she was holding. "Aren't you a little young to be an investor?" She grabs a bottle of water and takes a sip.
"My daddy owns a big company," He grins in delight. "You see...I want to buy your store."
The brunette chokes on her water at the revelation and stares at him in disbelief. "You want to what?!"
"Buy your store," The boy smiles wider. "My name is Brit Worley and I want your store. It has great potential...for being my arcade," He says the last four words under his breath.
"Heh..." Amy chuckles slightly, "And what makes you think I'll give you my shop just like that?"
"Because I asked," Brit smirks in amusement. Ooo, this little...!
"Listen here, ya snot-nosed brat," Amy bends down to him. "I'd-"
"Let me stop you right there," He holds out a hand in front of her and puts a briefcase onto the counter. Amy raises an eyebrow, wondering where he got the briefcase from out of a sudden, before the boy opens it up to reveal stacks of money. "I'm willing to compromise. I heard about your mother, tragic really. You could pay the most brilliant scientist to find a cure. So what do ya say? Do we have a deal?" He pushes the briefcase closer...and then hangs onto the counter with his hands.
Amy snorts in disbelief as she doesn't even need a second thought. "No."
"What?!" He exclaims in shock and anger.
"I'm. Never. Selling. This. Place," Amy makes it clear. The bakery had a lot of history, she couldn't give that up. She leans in with a smirk. "Got it, shorty?"
"Raaaaaaaaah!" He throws the briefcase onto the ground, stomping on it. Amy rolls her eyes at his tantrum. "Make my words, Amelia Smith, you'll rue the day you crossed me!" He stomps over to the door and opens it. He trips onto the sidewalk and then he turns to Amy, pointing two fingers between him and her. "RUE!" Amy shakes her head as he cowardly runs away to his limo. Obviously, she could care less.
"Spoiled little twerp," She mutters as she takes the briefcase and throws it into a furnace. Might as well make use of the thing.
She suddenly hears fighting noises and she opens the door. Looking around, she sees the turtles fighting mutant silverfish in the alley right next to her store.
"Okay mutant silverfish, you've eaten people's laundry for the last time!" Raph declares and Amy sees a giant mutant holding her laundry basket. She growls slightly and at the back of her mind, she was wondering how she didn't hear or notice any of this. Probably because she was dealing with that selfish little twit. Raph punches the mutant, but it doesn't damage it at all as the mutant divides into two. "What the?!" He tries again, but this time, they are four of them now. They start to gnaw at one of Amy's blouses.
"Hey!" She snatches it away.
"Hey Raph," Donnie flies to him with his hover bike on his shell. "Every time you smash them, they split in two."
"I know! Isn't it cool?" Raph asks in excitement.
"Think, Raph," Donnie tells him, "Think."
"Ohh...I guess it does double the problem," Raph says after a few seconds. "Which means double the smashing!" He smashes some more, only to create an army of silverfish. They immediately jump on him and he goes down as they attack him.
"You just multiplied the problem even more," The two turn around to see Amy with her arms crossed. "Hey."
"Hey Mellie," Raph waves to her.
"How's it going, Amy?" Donnie greets her and she looks down to see a mutant silverfish on her shoe.
"Better now that these things are trying to eat my clothes," She kicks the silverfish away and it lands in a dumpster.
"I got you, Raph," Mikey throws his chain, capturing the silverfish that were on top of Raph. "This situation calls for a dose of my psycho-acrobatics!" He lands against a fire escape and he slides down into a dumpster. Amy cringes at this epic fail.
"Annnnd down he goes." She says to Donnie as Mikey gets attacked by the silverfish inside. He then leaps out of it, yelping in pain as Mikey has to deal with them now.
"Oh boy," Donnie facepalms and Amy sees Leo grinning as he has one foot on a fire extinguisher.
"I got you, Mikey," He slices it off to spray the fish off Mikey, who gets slightly wet. He crawls away as the fish are now lying in a puddle of water. Leo lands in front of them, holding his sword near his shoulder.
"Looks like these fish are," He chuckles, "Wait for it, you're gonna love this. All washed up!"
"Boo!" Mikey calls out, him and Raph waving their hands in disapproval.
"Stop...just stop," Amy shakes her head and Leo yelps slightly as he notices her presence.
"No wait, I can definitely come up with something better," He states, wanting to make her laugh, "Okay, okay, okay, how about this? Those bugs are so wet-"
"Uh, Leo?" Donnie asks as the fish are starting to move. They leap towards Amy and she gasps, as she knows that if she uses her weapon, they would just multiply, so how was she gonna deal with them?!
Before she can even think, Leo pushes her away from the attack. They roll onto the ground and come to a stop, Leo hovering over her. Amy blinks up at him and he blinks once before grinning widely at how close they are. Amy huffs slightly and pushes his face to the left, only for him to get attacked with the mutant fish. They also attack the other two turtles and Amy stands up, walking over to Donnie and dusting her apron with her hand. The two just stare as the turtles are dealing with the fish.
"Oh, this is getting old," Donnie says to Amy, his staff turning into a tennis ball launcher that wraps around his body. He fires it and Amy throws cherries at them. The fish are knocked off the turtles and they run away, frightened.
"Mission accomplished!" Mikey cheers as Donnie's staff turns back into a staff. Raph sighs in relief as they stand up.
"Nice hustle, Donnie and Mellie!" He gives his brother and friend a thumbs up. "I knew we could deal with this as a team!"
"Actually, it was pretty much just me and Amy, but segway!" He holds up a finger. "I think I have a little something to kick our skills into high gear." He presses a button from his wrist computer and a drill emerges from the ground, shocking the others.
"Whoa!"
"No way!"
"Jumping Jack Flash!"
"Wow."
Mikey slides over to the drill, his eyes sparkling. "It's beautiful." He hugs it, the others grinning except for Donnie.
"No, no, no, not that," Donnie denies with a slight frown.
"What do you mean not that? That should totally be the thing," Leo speaks up.
"Hello, annoying," Amy places her hands on her hips. "A simple drill wouldn't kick your skills into high gear."
"Whatever you say, beautiful," Leo smirks, crossing his arms. Amy stutters slightly, trying not to blush before she narrows her eyes slightly. He thought he had the upper hand, huh?
She suddenly smirks, crossing her arms. "Charmless."
Leo's eyes widen as the other turtles gasp sharply at her jab.
"OOOOOOOO...Shots...FIRED!" Raph laughs with his two brothers as Leo stammers, trying to think of a word that started with a D.
"W-Well...you're...you're...! I am not charmless!" He pouts at her. "Take that back."
"No~" She sweeps her hair into his face as she passes by him and he coughs slightly. "I think I'll keep it."
"Charmless isn't even a word," Leo argues, as he couldn't see himself without his charm to flirt with his lady. It was a part of him.
"Actually, according to any dictionary, it is," Donnie calls out, "It means-"
"I know what it means!" Leo snaps at him.
"Anyway, this is just a little. It's in beta, don't worry about it," Donnie waves off the drill. "The real thing is much more personal and thoughtful and I really hope you like it," Donnie looks like he's about to cry, "Cause if you don't, I will JUST be crushed!" Leo, Amy, and Raph look a little surprised at Donnie, as they didn't want to hurt his feelings.
"Donnie, just show it to us," Raph deadpans, as Donnie was his brother, "I'm sure we'll all love it."
"And if we don't for some reason, I'll bake you pineapple muffins," Amy puts an arm around Donnie's shoulders, hand on her hip. "So that's something if you feel crushed."
Leo glares at the contact as he felt a dark feeling in his heart. "Thank you, Amy. Thank you," Donnie smiles gratefully with his eyes closed.
"Donnie," Leo leads his brother away from Amy and the others. "I don't know if you know this, but my pink-a-boo and I, we're like this," He crosses his fingers. "Have been for a while, so back off, okay?"
Donnie rolls his eyes at his brother's jealousy. If he had to be honest, Amy was only a good friend to him. Even if he did have romantic feelings for her, Leo would never let him live it down. "Here we go," He presses another button from his wrist computer.
"Okay, so we're just moving past the drill?" Leo asks and no one answers as the drill spins around, throwing Mikey off it. It opens up to reveal a suit, collar, helmet, and an outfit. Donnie presses a third button and a panel opens up, revealing a shiny new red motorcycle. The items are labeled with the others' names.
"You even got my life colors right!" Mikey looks at his suit in awe.
Leo chuckles at his. "Oh ho ho. Wow, I don't know what this is, but it has got a lot of blinkity blink."
"Whoa! Jazzy headgear!" Raph eyes his helmet with a glass visor.
"A new bike?!" Amy exclaims in awe and Donnie hands her a remote.
"I stole your bike while you were working, you're welcome," He says quickly so she doesn't kill him.
"Wait, what?" She asks in confusion as he hands her the outfit, laughing nervously. They try on their presents and they take on stylish poses with them. Amy has a pink midriff jacket with green edging, blonde pockets, and cream cuffs. Her trousers are pink with a long green belt and her boots are green. Her helmet is dark pink with blonde bits. She looks at herself in awe. Amy presses a button from her remote and 4 sidecars appear from the sides.
"Cool," She grins as Leo is staring at her.
"Donnie, I love you," He murmurs as he's looking at her belly. "Thank you for creating this moment."
"Oh, I'm so glad you like 'em!" Donnie exclaims in delight. "Now let me show you how they work."
Before he can, though, there's a screech nearby. "What was that?" Raph asks and they run forward towards an alley. Mikey stops in his tracks at a sign.
"Chateau Pretenche?" He reads, seeming to be familiar with it. "I think I've heard of this place!" Donnie pulls him forward and they peek around the corner. There in the green light is a massive mutant pig with pink skin, a pale pink torso, large fleshy arms with dark pink and purple bulges and dark grey hooves on his small feet. He has red eyes, a dark pink pig snout and jagged teeth. He wears a light grey folded chef's cap, large three-fingered grey gauntlets over his meat tendril hands, a light grey waist apron with brown stains and navy blue pants. He looks to be holding a bag.
"Another mutant? What's his deal?" Leo wonders as Amy looks at the pig in disgust.
"Gross, a mutant pig," She scrunches up her nose.
"Looks like we're on the same page, my lady," Leo grins at her, leaning in closer.
"I wish you'd stop with the nicknames," Amy pinches her nose. The pig grabs a mutant silverfish and puts it into his bag.
"You know what, that guy looks like the Meat Sweats," Raph comments, the others laughing except for Donnie. 'Meat Sweats' opens a manhole cover and jumps in, getting stuck. He struggles to get wherever he's trying to go, but manages to squeeze in.
The others follow him, using the subway station for stealth. A train passes right by them, but it doesn't seem to stop. Probably because it was going too fast to see them. Up ahead is Meat Sweats' lair, and he appears to be making something at his kitchen. They hide behind oil crates as Mikey watches closely. There was something about this mutant that was familiar...
Meat Sweats throws in the mutant silverfish he kidnapped, licking his lips as he grabs a salt shaker. "Hmm, a little salt," He shakes some salt into the boiling pot of silverfish. "A pinch of savory, lemon for the tang," He throws in some lemon wedges and closes the pot. "Unleash the flavor!"
"Unleash the flavor?" Mikey and Amy murmur. "Oh my gosh, it's Rupert Swaggert!" Mikey smiles like a fanboy and Amy gasps, clasping her hands together.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god," She whispers in excitement, Leo glancing at her. It was kinda weird to see her like this, but also kind of adorable.
"Oh yeah!" Raph says in realization, but he just remembers that he doesn't know him. "Uh, who's that?"
"Are you kidding me?!" Amy whispers in disbelief.
"The celebrity chef? Host of Kondescending Kitchen? The show where he screams at chefs until they give up their dreams?" Mikey asks, but Raph still doesn't remember. "I love that guy!"
"I love him too," Amy smiles before it turns into a pout. "It kinda sucks he's a mutant now, though..." Mikey and Amy both grin at each other that they have something in common and that they share a hobby. Leo grunts as he crosses his arms. First Donnie, and now Mikey? How was he gonna get a chance if his brothers kept getting in the way?
Mikey was watching the show while cooking in the kitchen. Rupert, who was a large man with red hair, a goatee, and a white chef's uniform, loomed over a contestant from his show. "That's not how you bake a pork risotto!" He slapped the contestant's face with pork. "You've got to pound it to unleash the flavor!"
He didn't notice an Oozesquito landing on him, which stung his neck. The mutagen filled his body and he grew a pig nose. The contestant peeked as Rupert grew a pig's tail and the cameraman looked over to the host before his mutant self laughed.
"You saw a celebrity chef transform into a pig mutant and you didn't tell anyone?" Donnie wonders, arms crossed. Mikey's not that forgetful.
"I didn't wanna burn my risotto!" Mikey shrugs sheepishly.
"I was working when that aired," Amy rubs her neck. "I only watch it when I'm cooking."
"Chateau Pretenche is his restaurant," Mikey explains, rubbing his fingers. "No wonder he's here!" He glances back at the mutant pig.
"I wonder what he's making?" Amy murmurs to herself and Mikey gasps.
"Ooo, maybe a soup."
"You think so? Seems like fish with a sauce to me," Amy glances at the mutant and while she's not looking, Leo points his fingers between his eyes and Mikey. Mikey just looks confused at his brother for his sudden attitude.
Meat Sweats lifts the lid. "Oh, he's not gonna eat that bug, is he?" Donnie asks in disgust. One of the mutant pig's arms turns into tendrils. He snorts and the tendrils float over to the now larger fish.
"What's he doing?" Amy asks quietly as something green appears on his arm, floating over to him. The others either look away or cringe in disgust.
"Oh, that's so much worse!"
Meat Sweats laughs, clenching a fist. "I feel the rush of your delicious energy! And an herb de Provence, with a nice touch." He sniffs the air, catching a scent of the turtles and pie smell. His eyes widen before he grins. "Am I picking up the delightful aroma of mutant with an after stench of turtle? And the sweet smell of key lime pie? Oh, I'm thinking lime turtle tenderloin, over a bed of saffron rice and a girl for dessert! But not before I get her recipes."
"Oooh, that sounds good!" Mikey cheers, Donnie covering his mouth as the others glare at him.
"He's talking about eating us," Donnie reminds him.
"And stealing my recipes," Amy's nose flares up. Those were kept secret until and way after she dies.
"Excuse me for wanting to be eaten in style," Mikey pouts and Amy throws up her hands.
"Why would you even want to be eaten regardless?" She asks in disbelief. They look up as Meat Sweats steps over to the barrels, licking his lips at the thought of his next meal. He uses his hammer to knock one away, trying to find them. They're huddled together and Leo leans forward to Amy, wiggling his eyes. Amy pushes away his head slowly.
Raph grins and jumps up into the air, shocking the others. He makes himself known to Meat Sweats. He dodges a thrown barrel towards him. "It's time to mash this pig's potatoes!"
"Gross," Amy sticks her tongue out at the thought.
Raph pulls out his tonfas. "Hot soup!" He lunches forward and Meat Sweats just stands there.
"Charging the enemy?" A voice asks and Raph looks around before looking at his helmet.
"Hey, this thing talks?" Distracted, he trips on a barrel and lands on the ground.
"Perhaps you should reevaluate."
Raph stands up, confused. "Uh, Donnie?" He looks around. "The helmet's talking to me!" He gets punched by Meat Sweats.
"Oh goody, it's working," Donnie looks happy and Amy glances at him.
"Why would you do that?" She wonders in confusion as Raph crashes against three barrels.
"You-hey, stop it, you-! Hey, hey!" Raph uses his smash jitsu to block Meat Sweats, who grabs him by the tendrils and throws him into a barrel.
"Your opponent is quite strong," Meat Sweats throws a barrel onto Raph, who uses his feet to block the pig's hammer. "Consider other options."
"How's this for options?" Raph asks confidently, his arms turning red as he jumps into the air. "Smash and bash!" He slams his fists into Meat Sweats, who splits apart into an army of Mini Sweats. Raph runs around as they're on him.
"Time to unleash the flavor!" The Mini Sweats exclaim as the others just watch.
"Ow-oh! Hey, stop it! Ouch!" Raph protests and Amy couldn't help but laugh a little. It was kinda funny.
"Fascinating," Donnie comments, turning to the others. "He must've absorbed the silverfish's powers. This represents a new level of mutant abilities!" A Mini Sweat appears right behind him, along with his little friends. They all grin.
"Donnie...that's a BAD thing!" Amy makes it clear.
Mikey screeches as he, Amy, and Leo all run away from the lair as they're being chased by the little piggies. Raph follows behind them as Donnie is grabbed by them and then dragged away. Mikey runs up a pole and jumps into the air.
"Impact imminent." His suit inflates to make it bigger.
"What the?!" Mikey bounces away. "This totally messed up my steam!" The Mini Sweat chases after him. Leo is battling more of them.
"You'll beat me..." He ducks and swings, kicking a tower of them away. He places his hand on his head as if he's looking out to a mountain. "When pigs fly." He suddenly gets shocked by his collar. "What was that?"
"Hilarious," Amy stifles a laugh, "And I didn't even have to lift a finger!" A claw suddenly appears from behind her suit, holding a pie. "A p-" The claw smashes the pie into her face and she falls onto the ground.
Leo does a split jump as a tower of Mini Sweats try to attack him. Leo kicks away the hammer and swings his sword, knocking them away. "These little piggies are gonna cry whee whee-" He gets shocked again.
"This thing doesn't like my one-liners?" Leo asks in disbelief.
"Leo...I say this because you're my friend," Amy bends down to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. She takes a deep breath. "Your one-liners make me wanna-" She gets another pie to the face and she pulls it off, annoyed. Their eyes widen as Mikey is about to land on them as he's still bouncing around. Leo scrambles around, but Mikey bounces off of him as a subway train goes by. The Mini Sweats pump their arms in victory as the three are knocked to the other side.
Leo groans as he stands up, dragging a part of his face. "Dude, Mikey, what did you do?"
"I don't know!" Mikey stammers as Leo and Amy both look annoyed with him. "It's this suit. Every time I do some razzma tazz, this thing inflates and throws me off my game! I need my razz, and my tazz!"
"And every time I drop a killer joke bomb, this stupid collar zaps me," Leo points to his collar.
"I mean, the bike was cool, and I'm glad that nothing's wrong with that. But every time I try to tease Leo and be all snarky, my suit smashes a pie into my face!" Amy gestures to her cream-covered cheeks.
"So you are teasing me!" Leo grins and she narrows her eyes slightly as that wasn't her point.
"...What kind of pie?" Mikey wonders and Amy sighs slowly.
"Does it matter?!" Mikey stares at her and she facepalms. "Lemon meringue." Which is ironic, since she works at a bakery and MAKES pies.
"No fair," Mikey pouts at her.
"Well," they turn around to see Raph in an abandoned subway car behind him, "My gift just keeps nagging me. I don't need to be told how to think!"
"Does Donnie really think I'm a crazy kangaroo who needs to wear a padded suit so I don't hurt myself?" Mikey asks, looking at himself.
"Yeah, does he really think I need to be told what to do all the time?" Raph wonders, pouting.
"Right?" Leo agrees with them. "And who doesn't love my one-liners? They fire up the team, right guys?" He looks confident in himself, but Mikey and Raph don't answer, blinking at him. If Amy answered that, she'd probably get another pie to the face. "Pink-a-boo likes them, right?"
"I-I don't know," Amy mumbles nervously, shifting around so he doesn't interrogate her. She scratches the side of her neck anxiously. "But I don't know why my gift has to shove a pie in my face to get me not to be myself. Being all clever and snarky is who I am, dang it." And she gets another pie to the face. Amy pushes off the pan, wiping some cream off her fingers. "How. Was that. Snarky?"
"Anyway, we need to tell Donnie that he doesn't get to tell us what to be," Leo crosses his arms as he offers Amy a napkin. She grabs it and uses it to wipe her face.
"I'm sure that's not what Donnie intended when he gave us our gifts," She starts off, "Our courage is what pulls us through, no matter how we do it. But if he doesn't have a reasonable explanation for this, I'll kick him all the way to-"
"Ah, ah, ah," Leo interrupts, smirking in a know-it-all way, "Can't finish that sentence or else you'll get another pie to your pretty face."
"Rrr," Amy growls slightly at him, trying not to blush as she stays silent. He he, I'm pretty...wait, what the heck just happened?
"Ah, I know," Raph agrees with Leo, but Donnie was a part of his family. He'd be crushed if they told him the truth because Amy did have a point. "But he's got such a soft shell." He meant that literally and figuratively. Donnie made these specifically FOR them. He was always so ambitious about his inventions, how was Raph gonna break it to him? Sure, he had good intentions to help out his brothers, but not if he was trying to change who they are.
"But it's like he's trying to fix us. What are we, broken?" Leo replies.
"No!" Both Raph and Mikey reply, as least, they didn't think so. Amy bites her lip nervously. As much as she didn't wanna do it, they had to tell Donnie. Yes, sometimes she was sarcastic with them, but she meant it in a friendly way.
"So what are you gonna do about it, leader?" Mikey glances at Raph, since he is the leader. "Huh? You gonna stand up and tell him his gifts stink?"
"Where is he, anyway?" Amy murmurs, looking around as he's been gone for more than 10 minutes, at least.
Raph glances away from them, thinking for a few seconds. He could do it, it was like ripping off a bandage. "Yeah! Yeah, I think I am!"
He suddenly gets a phone call and pulls out his phone to see a picture of Donnie with pink bunny ears a nose. Mikey and Leo are teasing him. Ah, he remembered that photo. "It's him!"
"Oh, he's so gonna get it!" Mikey smiles in delight, Leo grinning at the thought of Raph standing up to their mature brother.
"I still think you should ask him how they're supposed to work?" Amy suggests, crossing her arms.
"My lady, no one tells us how to act. Personally, your personality is what makes you attractive to me~!"
Amy stammers, looking away as she huffs. "C-Can you stop saying stuff like that? Unless you want me to get another pie to the face..."
Leo just shrugs, staying quiet as he smiles at her. Raph turns around as he picks up. "Ooo, hey buddy." Amy raises an eyebrow at his baby talk. "Hey, um, really loving the gifts you got us." Leo frowns a little. "Yeah, we-we know how long it took you to make 'em and it was soooo thoughtful." Mikey waves his arms in protest, Leo shaking his head. Amy covers his mouth, giving him a warning look. Another pie hits her in the face and she goes down.
"Owww..."
"Uh, what's that? Hang on, hang on, I'm gonna put you on speaker," Raph presses a button and Donnie screams into the phone.
"Where did you guys go? They're all over me, they're gonna cook me alive!" He screams for his life, the others glancing at each other. While Donnie did make them offensive gifts, he was still their brother. They couldn't hurt his feelings like this. They had to go save him.
The Mini Sweats all merge back into Meat Sweats back at his lair. "Mm, a delicate soft-shell. A sprinkle of paprika should unleash the flavor."
Raph's helmet scans the area as Meat Sweats prepares his food.
"Hey Raph, you need a plan," The helmet tells him, using emojis to point.
"Okay, now according to Donnie's condescending hat, I need to make a plan," Raph tells the others.
"What do ya got?" Leo wonders and Raph sits down, holding his head as he thinks. The helmet gives him an error as he's got nothing.
"I'm not good at making plans!" He crosses his arms. Leo groans, facepalming.
"Of course you're not. And I'm not good at fighting if I can't...razzma tazz."
Donnie screams into Raph's phone. "I'm still on speaker!"
"Hang up," Amy tells Raph and he does so.
"And I'm not good at suppressing my lightning wit," Leo states and Amy glances at him.
"Lightning isn't the word I'd use...and how am I supposed to not be me? I can't just not be sarcastic," She says in disbelief.
"The point Is, who are we? We are who we are," Leo clenches his fist. Raph's helmet removes the visor as he looks inspired.
"Yeah. And the only way we're gonna save the guy who's roasting on a stick is by being we!" He holds out his giant hand, the other three placing their hands on top.
Meat Sweats chops up carrots as Donnie is wrapped up in sausage, tied to a pole.
"Hey!" A shadow looms over the mutant pig. "Meat Sweats!" He turns to the shadow as Mikey is waving his fingers near his head.
"Distraction jitsu!" Meat Sweats is confused, but in the short time he's distracted, Donnie is already gone. He looks to see Raph carrying Donnie away.
"Come back! I used an entire pound of butter on him!" Meat Sweats complains. Amy turns to Donnie and sniffs him.
"Huh. He used the stick kind."
"Not helping," Donnie deadpans to her as Meat Sweats chases after them. He appears at the subway station as a train passes right by him. Raph, Donnie, ad Amy are nowhere to be seen. Leo appears right behind him out of nowhere.
"Hey Meat Sweats," He sings teasingly, the pig mutant turning around. Leo pulls open the pig's pants, putting his collar in there. "Looks like you're about to get some shocking news!" Leo smirks slightly as Meat Sweats is now the one getting shocked instead of him. "Oh ho ho, I love the smell of frying bacon in the morning." Meat Sweats gets shocked again. "Hey Ames, you wanna make me some bacon?"
Amy smirks as she's standing in front of Meat Sweats.
"Roasted flesh," Meat Sweats stands up, weakened. "I do smell delicious." Amy leans in towards Meat Sweats.
"Leo, the only way I'd make you bacon is if you make it worth my while," She grins as the pie approaches her, but she punches it back so that it hits Meat Sweats in the face.
Leo smirks at their banter that they came up with, but Donnie looks confused. "Huh? Wait, what are you doing?"
"We're betting the most out of your gifts, Donnie," Leo turns around and points to his brother. "Check it out. Hey Meat Sweats, I hear baloney is full of you!" He points as the mutant pig approaches him, smirking wider as the pig is shocked.
"Ha ha!" Amy starts to laugh, clutching her stomach. "He didn't even have to touch him!"
Yes, I made her laugh! Leo pumps a fist to himself, cheering.
"Hey no, that's not how-"
"He's getting a little hot under his-" Leo gets punched by Meat Sweats before he can finish.
Meat Sweats licks the pie cream off his face. "Ooo, apple pie."
"I told you it matters," Mikey winks at Amy as he's standing on a catwalk above the mutant pig. She rolls her eyes silently, giving up with him as she goes over to check on Leo. "Chef Swaggert! Oh ho, big fan. I was wondering, um, how do you get your meat so tender?"
"You've gotta pound it-" He turns around, confused as Mikey is no longer there.
"Impact imminent," Mikey backflips into the air and lets his suit be inflated. He cheers as he hits Meat Sweats like a punching bag. He gets knocked into a subway car. Mikey lands safely and bumps fists with Leo.
"Hey," Donnie hops up to them as he's still wrapped in sausage. "Hey, hey, that is not how you were supposed to use those. I spent a lot of time on-"
They hear a crash and turn to see Meat Sweats gone. "Oh snap." A hammer shoots up from the car and they all gasp. Meat Sweats emerges from the car and when a subway train passes him, he disappears.
"Uh oh."
Meat Sweats appears from above. "Oh my god!" Mikey screams as he runs away. Leo pushes Amy away onto the ground. They slide to a stop. Leo grins down at Amy, who pushes him off. Donnie yelps as he's still in danger. Raph saves him by using his smash jitsu. He punches the pig and waves his hands. Meat Sweats suddenly grabs him and throws him around by the helmet. He smashes his hammer and Raph moves out of the way. He uses his mystic powers again, grinning as he stands up.
"Hey, Raph, you need a plan."
"Ah!" Raph clutches his helmet as he still has to deal with his gift. Meat Sweats goes in for an attack, but Raph puts his helmet on his fist.
"Bad plan!"
Raph swoops in and punches Meat Sweats using his helmet. "Hot soup!" Meat Sweats flies across the room and gets hit by a subway train that just happens to pass by. It takes him along with it and he screams.
"Rubbish!" He calls out before he's gone. Raph holds out his broken helmet to Donnie, who looks annoyed.
"Donnie, your gifts really brought out the best in us." He smiles as Mikey is still bouncing around.
"I'm funnier," Leo gestures to himself as Mikey lands next to him.
"I'm bouncier!"
"I'm smashier!" Raph punches a hand against his helmet.
"And I'm better than ever!" Amy smiles, leaning in to whisper, "Thank you again for the bike, but I'll kill you if you touch my stuff again."
"What?"
"Nothing!" Amy moves away, placing her hands behind her back with a wide smile.
"Your gifts are the stuff!"
"But you were supposed to-ah," Donnie facepalms, looking at his brothers. He knew he couldn't try to change them, he honestly thought he was improving their skills. But...he loves them the way they are, and he shouldn't try to change that. "Forget it," He smiles, deciding to forget about the whole thing. "You guys are great the way you are. Bring it in, group hug. Amy, you too!"
They all hug each other."
"Impact imminent."
Their eyes all widen.
Brit Worley looks at a tiny model of Smith's Sweets in his hands. "Mark my words, Amelia. I'll get that shop if it's the last thing I do..."
Someone bursts in through his room, which was serving as his lair. "Sweetie, I made you cookies~"
"MOM!" He whines, glancing at the woman. "I'm trying to swear revengeeee!"
"Okay, but hurry before your father and I get to them." She closes the door and Brit turns back to the model.
"You will pay for crossing me!" He smashes the model with his hand. "PAY!"
