"By unanimous decree of the council, Baron Draxum is found guilty of crimes against the Yokai." The Guardsmen that work for Baron are listening to the Yokai Council. "Unlawful genetic manipulation, unleashing dark mystic forces in an effort to destroy humanity, damaging the cloak of secrecy that has kept us safe for eons! And he ruthlessly murdered two innocent humans, leaving a child in the hands of a mentally unstable parent!"

"Sounds like a terrible guy," The guardsman whispers to his partner.

"You work for him," They show the two with Draxum and they rub their necks awkwardly.

"But we will forgive you for assisting him...provided you bring him back to the Hidden City to answer for his crimes!"

"Yes, mighty heads," The two bow to the council. They go through the portal and step out onto Earth, sitting on top of their giant dogs. They and the dogs transform back into their Earth identities, joggers with dogs around them. They walk off to go find Draxum...


Drilling is heard from April's apartment. "There. That should keep the fan from falling down again," Raph taps the fan lightly as he's just finished attaching it back to the ceiling. April sighs in relief, the ceiling crumbling for some reason.

"Thanks, Raph."

However, there's a crash, and the ceiling fan falls onto Raph, causing him to groan. April shouts in frustration, gritting her teeth.

"Not again! My stupid neighbor."

"Your neighbor keeps knocking the fan down?" Raph asks as he looks up at her.

"Yeah, it's driving me crazy! Usually, it's just a lot of clip-clopping, but lately, it sounds like a dinosaur on a trampoline!" She glares up at the ceiling in annoyance, hands on her hips.

Raph stands up, determined to stand up for his friend. "Oh no, no, no. You can't have that. I'm gonna go set this guy straight!"


He stands in front of the door a few minutes later. "Now, don't make a scene," April warns from behind. "You're not gonna make a scene. You're gonna make a scene? Don't make a scene!" The last thing she wants is trouble with her neighbors because of her friends...well, mostly the turtles.

"Raphael doesn't make a scene," Raph shrugs with a smile. "He's just going to politely give the new tenant his perspective on the noise situation. And to make sure, that neighbor is not scared...of a disguise," He puts a ski mask over his face.

He knocks on the door, politely. "Excuse me, kind neighbor. I was hoping to have a friendly word with you! About-"

"I told you, Carol, I do not want to meet your daughter," The neighbor opens the door and Raph's eyes widen. He shouts in shock, freezing as April peeks in. He's wearing bunny slippers, holding a coffee mug, and a robe, but it's Baron Draxum standing there!

"Baron Draxum?!" Raph slips off his mask and tackles him onto the floor. "I don't know what kind of evil plan you're up to, but-"

"My hunches, get off me!" He pushes Raph off, standing up. He reaches out his hand and Raph braces himself with the vine. But nothing significant happens as a tiny vine emerges from the floor. "Stand...back..." The vine withers away, as a result of Draxum's weak power. Because of the effects of the armor, he's not as stong as he used to be. He blinks rapidly as Raph just stares at it.

"Raph, what are you doing?"

He turns around to see Mikey behind him, wearing a dinosaur costume. "Mikey?! What are you doing?" He didn't even know his brother was here.

"Dinosaur trampoline always cheers you up," Mikey jumps up and down. "So I thought I'd try it on Baron Draxum." Which explains why the ceiling fan kept falling off...

"I do feel my confusion being replaced by joy," Raph smiles after rubbing his chin.

"Not me!" April pushes him away. "Mikey, why the heck are you helping Baron Draxum?!"

"Baron Draxum needs the help of no one!" Draxum argues back furiously.

"Oh really?" Mikey points at him. "When I found you, were you or were you not living on the street?"

Draxum was sitting in the rain in a blanket, literally homeless. He has a 'will mutate 4 food' sign nearby, with a coffee cup for tips.

"Maybe," Draxum admits begrudgingly.

"Powerless, because your soul got sucked out by the dark armor. Wanted for crimes in the Hidden City, and who set you up in style?" However, the small, dirty apartment is anything but style. April's building was a way so that she could help him out too.

Draxum groans knowingly. "Dr. Positive..."

"That's right!" Mikey joins his side, jerking a thumb to himself. "Dr. Positive. The one who's gonna turn you from bad guy to glad guy! From sad sheep to happy sheep! From devil to A-level, baby!"

"Mikey!" Raph yells at his little brother, pulling him forward. "What are you thinking?! Draxum is the sworn enemy of the Mad Dogs! And if Mellie finds out about this, she'll probably never speak to us again! Don't you remember what he did to her family?"

"I know..." Mikey frowns in recognition. He really did think about that when he found the sheep mutant...and he knows that Amy will be the least happy out of all of them. How could he forget what he's done? He murdered two innocent people with no remorse for them or for the child that used to be Alina. But deep down, Draxum could change. "But he's also the one who created us, and we wouldn't have met Amy if it wasn't for him. And that makes us him family, and once he feels like he's a part of our family, his goodness will shine!"

They stare at the frowning Draxum, imagining the 'goodness.'

"It's the most ridiculous thing I ever-"

The door knocks and Mikey gasps. "Oh great! They're here!"

Donnie, Splinter, Leo, and Amy burst in. Donnie is in a purple sweater with a tie, and dark pants. Splinter is in a yellow sweater. Leo is in a blue sweater with a tie like Donnie's, with brown pants and black shoes. Amy is a white lace dress with sheer material covering her chest that's sewn into the top of her dress. The top is in a sweetheart neckline, the tulle skirt stopping just below her knees, looking almost like a ballerina. On her feet are 3-inch baby blue heels. Her hair is in a heavy ponytail, held back by a large black scrunchie. Her bangs are braided around her head to help keep the ponytail in place. On her lips are cherry red lipstick. Splinter is holding a casserole while Amy is holding something in a white container and a blow torch for some reason.

"The housewarming, Mr and Mrs-" Splinter stutters as he sees Draxum at the end of the room. "WHAAAT IS THIS?! I thought we were finally meeting April's parents!"

Amy drops the dessert and blow torch. "Uh oh," Leo murmurs as he sees her hands twitching. April joins their side.

"No. Apparently, we're helping Baron Draxum get his groove back."

"Called it!" Leo holds out his hand and Donnie pays him reluctantly.

"Oh no. I do not make my famous green bean casserole for my mortal enemy!" Splinter's about to throw the casserole right at him when Mikey takes it.

"Okay, whose idea was this?" Amy speaks up.

"It was him," April and Raph point to Mikey, who gasps at them.

"Why'd you snitch on me?! Now she's gonna-"

"Mikey..." She calls out slowly and he sweats nervously. Donnie, Leo, and Splinter literally move away from her as she's fuming. "Come over here...right now..."

"Um, I'm cool over here, so if we could just-"

"Explain yourself...now," She smiles creepily that unsettles him.

"He's not our enemy anymore. He's family. And once he gets some of those warm and fuzzy family feels, It'll crack that icy shell and we'll be knee deep in sunshine!"

The other turtles and Splinter glance at each other skeptically. "Mikey, he doesn't understand the meaning of family because he destroyed mine!" Amy grits her teeth. "I'm not gonna sit and EAT with him acting like that didn't happen!"

"But you promised you'd show us your dessert," Mikey pouts at her like a baby.

"Too late!" She points to the dessert on the floor. He grins widely and she shakes her head. "Mikey, no."

"I'll do it."

"I swear to god-"

"I'm gonna do it," He pokes at her cheek.

"NO."

"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world~!" Mikey sings, waving his hands. "Life in plastic, it's fantastic-"

"I hate you so much," She interrupts, closing her eyes. The brunette walks out of the room. "I'm getting my shotgun, no exceptions!"

"Hey, you said you wouldn't!" Mikey frowns as he looks out the door.

"I'm not gonna shoot him..." She turns around, rolling her eyes. "I'm not doing time for no one, even if it is just to get rid of Draxum. It's just for precaution."

The police department has taped off the stadium where the Shredder attacked. One of the dogs sniffs the ground where one of the vines from Draxum is on the ground. Lightning strikes to briefly show their true identities.


Dinner is silent and tense. Amy can only be grateful that she's sitting next to Leo. Splinter slowly chews as he stares down Draxum, gripping his utensils. Draxum is chewing in the same manner, groaning towards everyone. Donnie and April are both sweating, looking away.

"Isn't this nice?" Mikey smiles at them, not noticing the obvious fact that they're uncomfortable. "When's the last time we all got together like this, huh?"

"Mm, the time Draxum dropped me off a building," Leo chews his food. Amy pulls up her shotgun, releasing one of the shells onto the ground as a threat to Draxum if he tries anything.

"The time he killed my big brother and my little sister?"

"No, actually, I think it was when he ambushed us at the Botanical Garden," Donnie points out.

"No, no, baseball stadium. Dark armor, tried to destroy humanity. Also really pissed off Mellie, our best friend?" Raph asks from his spot.

"That's right. Good times," Mikey leans in towards Draxum, who pushes him away.

"He's the reason I don't have grandchildren," Splinter mutters under his breath. Well, and also Big Mama.

"I mean...my lady and I can give you grandchildren," Leo hugs Amy's waist near her bottom. "We'd love to get started at any time."

She blushes deeply at the movement at his hand. "Eh?!" She suddenly growls at what he said, a red mark at the back of her head in anger.

"Dude..." Raph shakes his head.

"Oh no," Mikey sighs, crossing his arms.

"And in three, two, one..." Donnie counts off.

The girl smacks Leo so hard that it can be heard from every room in the apartment building. Birds fly away at the echoing slap even. He's left laying on the ground, a big bump on his head.

"...Owww...I was only joking!" He pouts up at her. "Abuse!"

"That's not abuse, that's getting your pervert mind out of the gutter!" She huffs, looking away and crossing her arms.

"I-I didn't mean it!" He sits up, sweating nervously. "I was just telling Pops that he didn't need to worry about not having grandchildren!"

"Uh huh," She mutters under her breath.

"Come on, my lady! You know me!" He gestures to himself, having a pleading look. "I love you!"

"I heard you." She closes her eyes.

"Then stop being all huffy with me!" He pouts, hugging her from behind. She sighs slowly, shaking her head.

"I tolerate your behavior way more than I should."

He beams and kisses her cheek.

"Would somebody please pass the creamed corn?" Splinter asks the table.

"We don't have any creamed corn," Raph turns to him in confusion.

"Well, I figured the guy who turned me into a rat could just MUTATE THE POTATOES INTO CREAMED CORN!" He points right at Draxum.

"Dad! We're here for a nice family dinner, not to fight over who mutated who!" Mikey defends and Amy snorts to herself, crossing her arms.

"No, no, he's right," Draxum shakes his head. "If I had my powers, I could make the most loathsome creamed corn beast ever seen!" He slams his hands onto the table. "Fear King Corn those fool humans would shriek in terror!"

Amy narrows her eyes as she glances to April. "Fool humans? As one of the only humans here, I take offense at that."

"But why? You are fools. You put sunglasses on your dogs, you take photos of your food, and do not get me started on Carol."

"At least we're not fool enough to jump into a suit of dark armor without reading the owner's manual," April quips, giving Donnie a high five.

"Ha, nice," Amy murmurs to herself.

"Draxiball, what you need is to spend some quality time with humans, so you can see why we like them so much."

"Can you bake the dessert now please?" Leo whispers to his girlfriend and she pulls out the blow torch from underneath the table. She opens up the lid to reveal crème brulee. She turns on the blow torch and heats it up. "My lady, ladies and gentleman!"

"Papi," She giggles slightly at him.

"Disgusting," Draxum scoffs at them. "A mutant and human should never be in a relationship."

"What would you know about relationships?" Amy glares at him. "You don't care about anyone but yourself."

"Yokai today would not accept...this," He points to the two of them. Leo narrows his eyes in irritation.

"I don't really care what yokai have to say, because it's my choice," Amy gestures to herself, the others feeling awkward with this conversation.

"At least we are above you," Draxum glares back at her. "You really think he could love a human?"

"Hey!" Leo stands up, fists clenched. "Me being me has nothing to do with it. So what if we're different?"

"She's inferior to you. She's a mere baker slumming away hours into the night with an attitude that disgusts everyone." Her mouth opens in horror at his words. Normally, she wouldn't listen, but...it was kind of hard to do that all of a sudden. "I was wrong to consider you a warrior, you are nothing but wasted space on this planet. The only reason you're not dead is because I don't have the power to kill you myself."

Everyone stays silent as Amy clamps her mouth shut. She swallows the lump in her throat as she stands up. The girl turns around and runs out of there. Leo glares at him and runs after the girl. She buries her face in her hands as she's walking, her hands trembling. He holds out a hand to her, worried.

"Ames? Ames, talk to me."

She stops and turns around, her eyes red and puffy. "Why did you pick me?!" She exclaims, not caring if anyone heard. "Why did you want me out of all people when you could've liked anyone else? When you could've had someone without pain?"

"Dove...why would you even ask that? Is it because of what he just said?"

She sniffles, hugging herself. "There are a lot of things I've had to understand while being around you and the others. But what I don't get is why you don't want someone who's pretty and sweet, and says all the right things without having a complicated past...Leo, I'm just...I'm just me. There's nothing else."

He shakes his head as anger flashes in his eyes. He strides over to her, gently, but firmly cupping her face into his hands. "I don't care about how other girls look or what they say or how sweet they are. I don't want them. I want Amelia Elizabeth Smith."

She laughs in a strangled sound, shaking her head as much as she could. "No. I'm so damaged-"

"I don't care," He whispers to her, his eyes full of love. "I don't care. I love you for who you are, Ames."

Amy stares at him, some tears streaming down her face. Leo wipes them away with his thumbs in gentle strokes. He presses his forehead to hers lovingly. "I love you. I love you, my lady, and I'll tell you every single minute until you believe me. Even until your death."

Another tear slips from her eye as she smiles. "I-I love you too, Papi."

He looks down at her feet, grinning. "So...baby blue shoes, huh?"

"Yeah," She smiles in embarrassment. "I just thought...you know, since our secret is...basically out, we would match a little bit. Is that weird? I can take them off."

"Mm, nah," He moves his hands to her waist. "Now you're my baby blue dove with them."

"I can't wear anything around you without a smart remark," She rolls her eyes in amusement, hugging his neck.

"I can't notice how beautiful my lady looks?" He smiles down at her, pecking her lips.

"Stop it, I'm gonna be Raph's color," She bites her lip, hugging him. He hugs her back and she enjoys her warmth. It was so comforting to her, something she didn't think she needed until after Draxum opened his stupid mouth.

"Tell you what," He speaks up and she looks up at him. "How about later, I bake you something?"

"Oh, you don't need to do that," Amy shakes her head. "I can always do it-"

"No arguments, dove!" Leo kisses her forehead. "I promise I'll do a better job than last time."

She just chuckles, smiling happily. She loves that about him: that he can make her laugh no matter what.

"Aww," Mikey pouts at Amy's reaction from before. "But I know a place to get him to like humans!" He holds up a flyer for Albeartoland. It's been newly remodeled. "Who's coming with me and Draxum to Albeartoland?"

Everyone looks away and Mikey holds up Raph's hand. "AH! Why me?!"

"Not just you. Big sis is coming too."

"Little bro say what?" Amy just happens to hear from the doorway. Mikey gives her puppy eyes and she glares at him. "Sorry, not happening. I'd rather fall down an elevator shaft than to do that."

"But you love Albeartoland!"

"A true statement," She rolls her eyes. She and Leo took Elena there just last week. Both she and her niece love amusement parks, so the turtle decided to treat them last Saturday. "But why on Earth would I go with him?" She directs a look towards Draxum. "He might try to give me capgras too."

"I know he did all that stuff, but look at him. If you could just see-"

"I don't see him the way you do, Mikey, and I'm not sure if I ever will," Amy interrupts sharply. "Every day, I have to live with the life that he gave to me," She points to Draxum. "How I have to work myself to the bone just to support my mother—my mentally ill mother—and her bills."

"But he's family! He created us, and without him, we wouldn't have met you, big sis."

"He's not my family. Most of my family abandoned us after the accident. Does that sound like something family does? Or mutating others for themselves? Don't forget that he psychologically tortured me!" She grits her teeth. "After all he's done, you want me to go with him to help the guy? There's no way I'm going, and that's final!"


Mikey, Raph, Draxum, and a pissed off Amy are standing in line. Mikey is in an orange hoodie, Raph a white one, Amy in a pink one, and Draxum in a black cloak. A kid is swinging into the bars nearby, kicking his leg. Amy eventually caved after he promised her that he'd look after her store for a month. She didn't bring Elena with her this time, since she doesn't want her niece around this monster. But she will bring her back a souvenir as compensation.

Draxum eventually grabs the boy. "Stop kicking me! Where is your mother?! I'll have her fed to wolves."

"Not sure your plan is working, Mikey," Raph points to him as they listened in.

"Stay Dr. Positive, Raph," He smiles, hands on his hips.

"There is nothing positive about this..." Amy shakes her head slowly.

The kid jumps out of Draxum's hold, landing on his back. "You wretched child, I will splat you in twain!" He's about to throw him when Amy grabs the boy. "Huh?"

"Oh, you little playful human, you," Mikey chuckles, patting him on the head. Amy gently puts him down. "They love to jump and grab and hang."

The boy kicks Draxum in the leg. "And kick," Mikey adds in as Amy grins.

"No way, you're that girl who salsa danced in Times Square," He gasps sharply as he recognizes the girl.

"That's right," She smiles, bending down to him and ruffling his hair. "Stop by my bakery sometime and I'll give you a free donut. Now go find your mom."

He giggles happily and runs off. Amy waves at the boy. Draxum growls towards him. "You could've been better than this," Draxum grunts at the brunette as she stands up, hands in her pockets. "You could've done anything for me."

"The only thing I'll do for you is kick your ass if you hurt anyone," She narrows her eyes as she glances over her shoulder. "Now shut up and be a good sheep man. Be lucky I'm not allowed to bring my shotgun."

"Ooh, look, we're next," Mikey points up ahead. "Time for the fun to begin, baby." He and Raph drag Draxum into the bumper car attraction.

He gets surrounded by children bumping into him. The sheep man doesn't really know how to control his bumper car. "Stop it! I cannot move! Don't hit me, leave me alone, human larva!"

Amy grins as she's enjoying this, driving around.

The two dogs are sniffing around as one of the guardsmen hands his partner a flyer. The same one for Albeartoland...

"Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm!" Mikey hums in delight as they walk past the merry-go-round. "There's nothing better than human funnel cake!"

Raph has sugar around his mouth as he's eating. Amy takes a bite. As usual, she had to pay, but she didn't really mind paying for funnel cake. Albeartoland had the best of the pastry, but sometimes she'll bake it for Mikey since he loves it.

"Which part of the human is it made from?" Draxum holds it up like it's contagious, examining it.

"What?" Raph pops up behind him. "No, it's made by humans, not from them."

"Health inspectors would be shutting down everything if we had actual food made from humans," Amy rolls her eyes.

"Can you make Draxum some funnel cake?" Mikey grips at her arm.

"No way on my life," She glares at him. "Mikey, are you sure that I'm really the best person he can learn from about how to like humans? The guy's committed a bunch of crimes."

"Yeah, but he's also powerless and besides what he said at dinner, he hasn't done anything to you yet," He looks up at her.

"That may be, but I still don't trust him. You might think I'm being stubborn or biased, but he didn't leave you guys with a sick mother. You didn't watch your father jump out of a building because a loved one can't remember him. Your brothers are still alive. Lucia was 9. NINE! Marco had a wife and a daughter. He's hurt me the most out of anyone else. And yet you think he can be helped. I understand your sympathy, but he's not getting any from me."

Draxum throws away the funnel cake and it lands right on Amy's hoodie. She chuckles bitterly, wiping it off. Once they're a few feet away, someone steps on it. Draxum pops a little girl's balloon.

"See what I mean, Mikey?" Raph asks as the little girl starts crying. "This guy's never gonna like humans."

Amy looks over her shoulder as she hears the girl. "Wait up," She tells the two, walking back to the little girl. She pulls out a little balloon from her bag and the girl looks up at the teenager. She blows the balloon out to a long stick. She moves her hands around as she shapes the balloon into a dog. The girl gasps as the brunette hands it to her, smiling up at Amy. She smiles back and walks back to her friends.

"Since when do you make balloon animals?" Raph raises a brow at her.

"Sixth grade. Kept me busy when I wasn't baking or tending to my mother," She replies while wiping her hands.

"Anyway, there's no way of being with an ounce of good in them throws funnel cake on the ground."

"Actually, it landed on my face, but still a valid point," Amy points up at Raph.

"Dr. Positive is becoming Dr. Slightly Disappointed," Mikey looks towards the ground.

"Look, I know you have good intentions, but Draxum?" The girl places a hand on his shoulder. "You can't tell me you think he at least doesn't deserve to be in jail."

Mikey bumps into Draxum, who has stopped moving. He has a look of shock on his face.

"Draxum. By order of the Council of heads," The guardsman turns back to normal. "You are under arrest." He fires a blast from his sword and they all jump out of the way. People start running away as Raph looks to the sheep man.

"Uh, Draxum, aren't those your boys?"

"No, they are bounty hunters loyal to the one with the most coin," Draxum explains to the snapping turtle.

"Uhh, Mikey digs through his pockets. "Would they back off for 27 cents and a button? Big sis, get out your wallet and pay 'em."

"No!" She denies furiously, slapping his hands away from her hoodie pockets.

"You can try. Tell me how it goes," Draxum is running away, to Raph and Amy's disbelief.

"See?! I told you he doesn't care about us, Mikey! He just abandoned us," She gestures to where he was. The guardsmen don't even attack the trio since they haven't done anything. They run right past the three as they chase Draxum. He looks over his shoulder, but the other guardsman arrives in front of him. Draxum comes to a stop as he's now surrounded.

"Raph, Amy! We gotta stop these guys!" Mikey declares, Raph appearing next to him.

"Why? Isn't he just getting what he deserves?" Raph asks him, silently glad that now he can leave them alone.

"I don't gotta do anything," Amy crosses her arms. "Even if there's a shred of remorse in that sheep body of his, it won't fix my family."

"He created us, Raph," Mikey gestures to himself. "Without him, we wouldn't even be here! And Amy, you wouldn't even be dating Leo! He deserves another chance."

Her eyes widen at his explanation. "I know that he killed your siblings and your dad took his own life because of your mom, but the best way to do right for them is to forgive! Isn't that what they would've wanted?"

Little Alina was being held by Marco as a newborn and he smiled down at her.

Lucia waved to her sister after being dropped off to preschool.

Alina smiled up at her father when he gave her a baking kit for her 5th birthday.

Leo fell off the building and Amy immediately jumped after him, tears falling from her eyes.

She blinks slowly as she looks towards the ground. In a way...Draxum brought her friends, a family. Raph stares at him. Both of them come to the agreement...that they should at least help him. Lucia and Marco may be dead, and that is definitely because of Draxum. But Draxum is the sole reason why she has Leo. Without him, she wouldn't have Leo around to make her life easier, despite all the bad things in it. The snapping turtle sighs, placing a hand on Mikey's shoulder.

"I hate to say it, but...sometimes Dr. Positive makes a lot of sense."

"You're gonna help him too?" Mikey turns to Amy, who nods.

"As much as I hate him, I love your wiseass brother, and I wouldn't give that up for anything..."

"Aww," Raph and Mikey coo at her, and she blushes in embarrassment, looking away.

"What? I have feelings and compassion."

The guardsmen run towards Draxum. Mikey flings his whip and catches one with it. He throws him away from Draxum, and he lands in the wood. The sheep man gulps, turning around to the one in front of him. He points his sword and fires, but Raph blocks it with his smash-jitsu. He sends it flying onto the Ferris Wheel.

"Raph!" Amy turns around to the ride and he rubs his neck sheepishly.

"Whoops. My bad."

She flings her arms forward a little to give the guardsman a little shock.

"You saved me...? Why? After all I've done to you?" He looks at Amy at the last question.

"Still trying to get used to this, but Mikey thinks you're part of the family," Raph looks to him. "And number one rule of the Mad Dogs code is you take care of family."

"You may have ruined my life, but that doesn't mean I can ignore that you gave me a family," Amy speaks up. "But don't make me regret it."

They hear a crash, looking up at the Ferris wheel. A mom and her daughter are in a tilting car, screaming. Draxum gasps, narrowing his eyes.

"You hold off the bounty hunters. I'll...ugh, save the humans."

To their shock, he runs off to go help them. "My sheep man!" Mikey exclaims, ducking from a sword. He backflips away from the guardsman, flinging his whip at the mutant's sword. Raph clashes with the other one, who uses a free hand to attack Amy. She slides out of the way.

Draxum climbs up the Ferris wheel, a bolt flying off from the car. The mother holds on, hearing the grunting. They look up to see Draxum appear.

"I've come to get you humans!"

They both scream at him at his poor wording. "Oh, relax," He silently rolls his eyes. Another blast from the sword flies past him and he looks to see one of the guardsmen. He had seen Draxum climbing and is now focused on him. He fires again and it hits the clear. It comes clean off, causing the mother and child to fall. Draxum reaches out and grabs the woman's hand. He tries to hang on as much as he can.

Amy looks up at Draxum, seeing the situation. Raph pushes her head down. "Look out!" A laser passes over their heads. "Come on, guys, let's wrap this up."

Mikey narrows his eyes and runs forward. The three charge at the two guardsmen. Mikey flings his whip at one of their faces.

"Ba-boom!"

"Eat this!" Raph punches the other and he goes flying. They land at the hammer attraction. "Whoo! Ha ha ha!" He grabs Mikey's whip, and he flings his brother and sister around.

"Fire-Shock Smashing Combo Whip!" The two are at the other end of the whip, fire and electricity surrounding the two. Together, they punch the end so that the two are electrocuted. They hit the bell, knocking it clean off. They go flying into the moon, leaving only a glint.

"Good riddance," Amy smiles, sweeping her hands clean.

"Whoo hoo! Yeah!" Mikey jumps up and down for their victory. They hear a crash, looking up and seeing Draxum. He's still holding onto the Ferris wheel when his fingers slip, causing all of them to fall. Amy gasps, covering her mouth with her hands. He grabs the two and aims his hand to the ground. He pushes himself to create a vine, others from the Ferris wheel looking on in horror.

"Omigosh," Mikey murmurs as he's sweating.

"Come on..." Amy urges as she stares at them.

Draxum lets out a yell as the vine extends just before they hit the ground. It wraps around Draxum's waist, his mask falling off his face. It crashes onto the ground and he opens his eyes, hearing people cheer for him. Even the turtles and Amy join in. They land on the ground safely as confetti falls around them. The little girl leans in and kisses his cheek.

"Oh!" He shouts in disgust, holding his cheek. "Why must you touch me with your germ hole?"

"Look at you!" Mikey smiles at him proudly. "You saved humans!"

"With no evil plot involved," Amy blinks at him. "I'm...slightly impressed."

"And you got a little bit of your powers back," Raph grins, pointing up at Draxum. He turns his back on them.

"So, change of heart?" Mikey leans in with a smug smile, hands behind his back. "Maybe living among humans is not so horrible after all?"

"I strongly disagree, but I suppose I might able to tolerate them somehow...given that I have no choice."

"There's the bare minimum!" Mikey pumps his fists.

"And...I suppose that destroying two was wrong," He looks over his shoulder to Amy, who says nothing. "They had...somewhat fulfilling lives."

"But if you're gonna live up top," Raph rubs his chin. "You're gonna need a job. Now...what kind of gig would be perfect for someone who's always angry, needs to be the boss, and hates humans?" He glances at Amy, who shakes her head.

"Nope, hard no. No way. I'm the boss, and being angry isn't ideal for customer service," She places her hands on her hips. "But I do know one job that might work for him."


The bell rings at April and Amy's school. "Here is your nutrient mound," He drops slop onto a student's tray. "Dismissed!" The student walks off in fear as Mikey, April, and Amy's robot watch.

"Well, this seems like it could backfire," April deadpans as she looks on.

"Come on, April, give him a chance. He's perfect! And it's great cover."

"It's the only job that might work for him," Amy shrugs from her counter at the bakery. She's making muffins. A student pushes someone onto the floor, laughing at him.

"No hijinks in my line!" With a vine, Draxum throws him away, chuckling with a grin. "This'll do."

"Ooh, you makin' chocolate chip muffins, girl?" April stands in front of the robot.

"Mmhm. With a little vanilla too."

An oven dings and she goes over with oven mitts to pull them out. The 6 muffin pan is filled with golden brown. "Can I have some?" Mikey grins at the screen.

"Oh, these aren't for anyone but me. After last night, I need it," She wipes off her forehead.


Later that night, Amy arrives via motorcycle to the cemetery. She stops her bike and takes off her helmet. She sighs to herself as she steps off, holding three white roses. The girl hadn't been back here in a while...since she helped her family stop Draxum in the dark armor. Now that he's now a reluctant ally for them, she figured that she might keep them updated about what's happened. She puts her helmet down and walks down the dirt path.

She's alone this time around. Leo insisted that he go with her, but she needed to do this by herself. It took a little sweet talk to get him to agree. She's known him for a year, so she knows how to convince him.

She sees all the gravestones as she walks by, her eyes softening. Each one holds someone that was loved...that left their families behind.

When she reaches the ones that she's looking for, she stops, and smiles weakly. Sitting there on the ground in front of the three graves are flowers, a bunch of them. They surround the graves in all sorts of colors and types. And she knows exactly who did it.

On the ground near the graves...

Is a single purple vine.

Angel: It didn't hit me until just now that Carol, Amy's sister-in-law, shares the same first name as April's mom...XD To be fair, I didn't think that they'd give April's mom's first name out. *pinches nose with a small sigh* Too late to do anything about it now...
