A/N: Hello, everyone. Good news is, I have just finished part one of the series. Bad news is, I still have yet to finish part two of the series opening. But you can expect that Part 2 would be all the more surprising. Point is, since watching "Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I thought, "What would happen if it was released in 2012 with the similar characters from before in the original TMNT 2012 series, but with new villains and new surprises all the same?" So, this is the result. I will try and see if I can finish part 2, though, so don't worry. :) Now, the first part of the main cast, though, is Seth Green as Leonardo, Rob Paulsen as Donnatello, Sean Astin as Raphael, Greg Cipes as Michelangelo, Mae Whitman as April, Keith Silverman as Kirby, Hoon Lee as Splinter, and last but not least, 5 surprise guest stars being Laura Bailey as Mona Lisa (originally human but mutated into a lizard) with her appearance based off of "Mona Lisa V. 6" by Squira130, who gets the credit for her appearance, Tara Strong as Venus, Howie Mandell as Mayhem (due to his cute voice role for Gizmo the Mogwai in "Gremlins" and "Gremlins 2: The New Batch"), Minae Noji as Tang Shen, and Renae Jacobs as Sandra O'Neil. Part 2 of the main cast is still to come. Anyhoo, enjoy, my TMNT fans. :)
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)
"Rise of the Turtles, Part 1"
Chapter 1
At the sewers, underneath New York City, lays a dojo where five mutant turtles and one mutant lizard reside, each wearing different colored masks. As the red-masked one named Raphael squats in front of the purple-masked one named Donatello, who's doing the same, the turtle in a blue mask named Leonardo and the one with the orange mask named Michelangelo prepare to do battle as Leo drew his katana blade and Mikey drew his Kasuragama and then glared for a few moments before Leo charged into battle.
"Oh, yeah! Michelangelo is on the move!", Mikey exclaimed as he ran while Leo was doing the same already before striking, only to miss as Mikey jumped past him and landed behind Leo, prompting him to turn around.
"You don't know what to do!", Michelangelo goaded.
However, Leo did know what to do as he then swung at Mikey at first, two times, in fact, prompting Mikey to jump back and then dodge roll as a method of evasion.
"I'm here. I'm there.", Mikey continued.
Leo then got his katana ready before Mikey finished.
"I could be anywhere.", Mikey finished before he was quickly caught off-guard for a bit before evading a fist strike, earning a smirk from Leo before Mikey goaded him even further.
"How do you stop what you can't even see?", asked Mikey before Leo readied his katana, seemingly ready to strike before Mikey took the bait as he ran toward him, flailing his nunchucks about before Leo then hit him in the gut with the handle of his blade, forcing him to roll away from him and then groan in pain before tipping over.
"Like that?", asked Leo.
Mikey only weakly groaned as he raised his hand.
"Good one, Leo.", Mikey weakly complimented.
Elsewhere, a lizard girl with human hair named Mona Lisa was squaring off with another mutant turtle named Venus de Milo before both charged forward and clashed with each other with Mona wielding her Naginata Staff and Venus wielding her Kana's.
"Today's the day I beat you, Mona.", Venus spoke.
"Don't count on it.", Mona responded before she and Mona found themselves on equal footing as they both clashed weapons with each other with both trying to find an opportunity to strike as Mikey looked on impressively.
"Good job, Venus"., Mikey congratulated, unknowingly distracting her.
"Huh?", Venus puzzled, thus giving Mona the opportunity to sweep her legs to the ground.
"Next time, don't get distracted like that.", Mona suggested, earning a slight frustrated groan from Venus as she sat down next to Mikey.
"I still think you did okay back there, Venus.", Mikey assured.
Meanwhile, Donnie prepared himself for battle as he spun his bo staff several times and then stopped before Raphael then cracked his neck.
"All right, Donnie. Put down the staff, and no one gets hurt.", Raph warned.
However, Donnie knew all too well what happened the last time he said that.
"Uh, you said that last time, Raph, and then you hurt me.", Donnie objected.
"Yeah, but less than I would have.", Raph assured.
"Yeah, right.", Donnie retorted before swinging at Raph only for him to dodge it with a roll before Donnie attempted to pine him, but missed. The same process repeated differently before Donnie attempted to strike with a downward slam only for him to notice his staff was already gone before Raph was revealed to have taken it before he spun it around and then snapped the staff in half with his leg.
"Should've dropped the staff?", asked Donnie.
"Should've dropped the staff.", Raph replies before swinging the two halves of the broken bo staff before clutching them and then chasing after Donnie, who quickly ran.
However, Raph caught up quickly and then began bonking Donnie on the shell.
"Okay, okay. Ow! I'm down!", Donnie shouted before Leo lowered his katana, catching Ralph's attention before he put the two halves of the staff down as Donnie then sat down next to Mikey, who then stuck his tongue out at Donnie for a bit, obviously peeving him.
Then, Leo knelt down before Raph did the same thing.
「御願い 島須」, was what Leo spoke before Raph responded.
"Whatever you say.", Raph responded.
Then, Leo stood up and then pointed his blade at Raph, who readied his sais as well in preparation before both quickly clashed their weapons of choice against each other before they broke and also swung only for Raph to dodge before he readied his sais again and then charged as Leo readied his katana and swung but missed before Raph retaliated with a blunt punch to the shoulder and wound up swept to the floor. Raph then stood back up afterwards and then clashed against Leo, who charged toward him, only for one of his sais to be swept away to the wall before it was caught by a yellow pet with cat-like ears, blue stripes along the top of its body, a blue-spotted tail, small, mammoth-like tusks, and a small, spherical vial, containing a purple liquid, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere before it then sat down and then purred as Mikey spoke.
"Good boy, Mayhem.", Mikey commented as the pet grinned.
Afterwards, Leo and Raph then readied their weapons before charging toward each other before the clash occurred, only this time, it did not last for long as Leo's katana then fell to the ground before Raph then put his sai's open path on Leo's hand before turning it, surprising Leo, and then knocking Leo to the ground. He groaned before Raph walked up to him and spoke as Leo looked up.
"Nice try.", Raph goaded before Mona then swept his legs only for Raph to stop himself from touching the ground with his tsais.
"Good thing I came prepared.", Raph commented.
"Maybe, but are you prepared for this?", Mona retorted before she drew out her Masamune and proceeded to attack, only for Raph to counter with his tsais.
It wasn't until a few clashes that Mona managed to remove the tsais from Raph and pointed his Masamune at him.
"All right. I'll let you have this one, Mona.", Raph sighed just before a booming voice called out.
「屋眼」, a stranger shouted.
Then, Mikey and Donnie turned to the source of the sound and noticed that it came from a mutant rat master by the name of Hamato Yoshi, AKA Master Splinter. Then, walking alongside him was a beautiful, white-scaled snake woman named Tang Shen, who also happened to be his wife as she was wearing a white robe based off of Master Splinter's with two arms resembling each snake and a snout, although with her natural human eyes. As they neared the turtles, Mona and Raph sat down with Leo, Venus, Donnie, and Mikey as the blue-masked turtle bowed quickly.
"You all did very well.", Tang Shen spoke.
"But Mona did better.", Raph added, earning a look of surprise from both Leo and Mona before Splinter responded.
"This is about self-improvement, Raphael. It is not about winning and losing.", Splinter spoke.
However, Raph still disagreed.
"I know, Sensei, but Mona won and we lost.", Raph continued before the rat master them pinched the back of Raphael's neck, earning his pained shouts.
"But what's really important is that we all did our best. Good job, everyone!", Raph spoke painfully before Splinter then let go of his pinching grip, allowing Raph to recover before Tang Shen spoke.
"That was quite a grip, Yoshi.", Tang Shen commented with a grin before Splinter chuckled in response.
Musical Interlude:
First, it showed many far-off planets before it zoomed away quickly to show a bright full moon in the sky and many buildings and one lamppost near it and then down to the NYC Sewer Hatch with green smoke emanating from it before the screen faded to black. Then, it showed Splinter and Shen setting a canister of green ooze down before it seeped out with four baby turtles on it before it showed one of them mutating, or in this case, evolving while a green light emanated and shine brightly.
Rise... of the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
(Rise of the) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a Half-shell
Turtle power!
Then, it showed five Mutant turtles and one mutant lizard bowing in front of Splinter with Leo and Mona being cautious, Raph suspiciously puzzled, Venus and Mikey joyful, and Donnie being curious before Splinter, as Tang Shen watched with a smile, handed a red ninja mask to Raphael, who put it on and then turned around as Leo and the others appeared, all six having blank eyes with Leo giving a serious face while Mona, Donnie, Mikey, Venus, and Raph gave grins before it showed Leo holding a crooked and sharp, yet elegant and straight katana with a bright blue handle as blue, glowing symbols glowed in the blade with Mona before Leo then shot out a blue lightning spark on the right wall, creating a portal before going through it and then emerging from another on the left wall as another portal opened up and Leo then held the weapon at the ready before Mikey then swung the kasuragami weapon with a spiky yo-yo-like ball at the end while holding the handle before the ball then lit up and became a mischievous fireball as it chuckled menacingly in a tiny voice as Venus arrived alongside him with her Kana's and tossed them forward. Next, Donnie swung his high-grade titanium Bo Staff around as each end contained a rocket booster before the staff turned back to normal and he then assumed attack position before Raph then held what appeared to be wooden sticks with handles before he fist bumped them together and gained a red aura over his body, giving off red sparks as he then posed in attack position as Mona drew out her Masamune and readied it in attack position as well.
After that, it then showed Spyder Bytez roaring with the following enemies appearing: foot bots, Kraangdroids, the two mutant guardsmen, Dogpound, Fishface, Shredder, who clenched his hand into a fist, releasing an armblade, Baxter Stockman in his robot suit, Karai, and Baron Draxum, who growled like a tiger.
Here we go, it's the lean, green ninja team
On the scene, cool teens doing Ninja things
So extreme, out the sewer like laser beams
Get rocked with the shell-shocked pizza kings
Can't stop these radical dudes
The secret of the ooze made the chosen few
Emerge from the shadows to make their move
The good guys win and the bad guys lose
4 dudes from the ooze throwin' down
Cowabunga!
Then, it turned around to Leo, who readied himself against the enemy with a smirk before the scene froze and changed into a blue-colored, comic-like still with the word "Leo" next to it before it showed Donatello watching through his two-different colored lenses, one red and small, and the other big and blue before pulling them up as it showed a swarm of robotic oozesquitoes flying in the air before the same freeze-up happened, but this time in purple, with Donnie looking determined as he takes to the sky with a purple shell that doubles as a jet pack with four hover boosters, two for each side, not to mention a chair and handlebars while the word "Donnie" appears below him. Then, it showed Raph and Mona hopping over Hypno-potamus, who pounded the ground before turning to see Raph and Mona, who got ready to strike with a red, transparent aura visible before a red freeze-up took effect with the words "Raph" and "Mona" appearing next to them. After that, it then showed Mikey and Venus evading a robotic-like dragon with purple lights and a metal armor before Mayhem then appeared on Mikey's shoulder with a grin as Mikey grinned as well before an orange freeze-up took place with the words "Mikey" and "Venus" just above them. After that, it then showed April O'Neil and her mother, Sandra jumping up as a green light began to emerge from them before it ceased as they flipped forwards just before they landed, now revealed to be a mutant turtle, looking quite similar to Donnie, that is, except for the gapped tooth, although April still had her normal hair before she then got out her black mystic tessen and readied it as Sandra was now a mutant catwoman as she landed gracefully on all fours and hissed while near Tang Shen and Splinter, who then tapped the ground with his staff before it showed the seven mutants in attack position before doing friendly, yet cool poses as Mikey did bunny ears on Raph, prompting him to turn to notice Mikey, who quickly looked away with a grin, ceasing his bunny ears thing as Leo, Donnie, Venus, and Mona grinned while looking straight with their eyes as April gave a slight giggle as she held her three-fingered hand over her mouth.
After that, then it showed Baron Draxum's henchmen screeching as Baron Draxum pointed forward for his army, issuing a "charge" tactic before it then showed showed Donnie opening the sewer hatch with blank eyes before Mikey kicked against the two guardsmen working for Barron Draxum and then Leo slicing the two muscular kraangdroids into pieces with his magic, sparking katana before the pieces split apart and fall before showing Sandra as a mutant cat fighting Dogpound as she even slashed him in the form of an uppercut as April was even holding her own against Fishlegs before then showing Mikey, Leo, Raph, Mona, Venus, and April riding down toward the magical sewer with villainous enemies such as Repo Mantis, Big Momma, Warren Stone (a mutant worm), Munnin, Meatsweats, and Hypno-Potamus before Raphael activated his weapons, giving him a red aura coating over him before smashing against the ground with April, Leo, Donnie, and Mikey launched forward before Leo used his katana to create a portal to go through as he charged forward with seriousness, causing Meatsweats to miss him as he swung his hammer with Donnie and Venus climbing up on him and jumping up before then forming a rocket booster at one end of the bo staff to throw toward Big Momma, who struck back by blocking the staff and trying to grab him only for April and Mona to kick her back before Mikey then grabbed her by the arm with his weapon of choice and then crashed her to the ground before then showing Baron Draxum at the top of the screen with New York in the background and especially with Munnin and Huggin on his shoulders with Donnie riding on his titanium bo staff's rocket booster, Raph, Mona, Venus, and Leo charging forward, Mikey having fun with his own mystic weapon, and Turtle April charging forward in-between Leo and Raph before it then showed the "Nickelodeon's Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" logo on the screen as the logo glowed green for the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" part just as the following credits appeared below: "Co-Executive Producers: Andy Suriano & Ant Ward".
Leonardo's the leader in blue

Chapter 2
Later, the six mutants were eating worms and algae with Leo picking up one worm at a time while Raph "stabbed" at his food right before picking up one worm and then eating and Donnie ate one work before quickly getting disgusted as he gave a "Blegh!". However, Splinter enjoyed it the way Leo did while Mayhem ate a bowl of it with unrestrained glee as Mikey spoke with Tang Shen next to him.
"There's a little more algae and worms left of anyone wants it. Anybody? Anybody?", Mikey offered.
However, the five mutants refused as Mayhem looked up puzzlingly and purred a little.
"No thanks.", Leo politely refused.
"Yeah, I'm not that hungry.", Mona added.
"I'm good.", Raph replied.
"Haven't we had enough of that stuff?", Venus added.
"All yours.", Donnie agreed.
However, Tang Shen has a special surprise behind her back before she presented it.
"Well, then, I guess no one left room for...cake! Michelangelo and I made it ourselves.", Tang Shen shouted with glee as she presented it, revealing the cake to be made of algae and worms, while topped with cucumber slices, slightly impressing the three turtles.
"Whoa!", Leo exclaimed.
"It is a cake!", Donnie spoke as Raph took a lick of the cake.
"Made of...algae...and worms.", Raph added as he noticed a worm crawling on it before seeping back in.
"Uh, what's the frosting made out of?", asked Mona.
"Oh, I used cucumber juice as an alternative, and even used the slices as sprinkles.", Tang Shen assured.
"Yep! Happy Mutation Day!", Mikey shouted before his five siblings shouted the same thing with glee, whether it was real, or forced.
"Happy Mutation Day!", the five siblings shouted before Splinter spoke.
"Ah, yes. 15 years ago today, our lives changed forever, and we became the unlikeliest of families.", Splinter spoke before Mikey made his request.
"Tell us the story, Master Splinter!", Mikey requested.
However, Splinter felt it to be repetitive.
"Michelangelo, I've already told it many times.", Splinter responded.
"Doesn't it seem...repetitive?", asked Tang Shen asked as Mayhem teleported above her chest before Tang Shen caught him with his arms as he cooed slightly.
However, Mikey begged in response.
"Please! Pleeeease!", Mikey begged before Raph covered his mouth and shushed him.
"Please. It's the only way to shut Mikey up.", Raph requested before Tang Shen laughed as Splinter then had to agree.
"Ah, very well. Many years ago, when we were still human, just as Mona left with one of her own, my wife, Tang Shen and I were leaving the pet store with four baby turtles.", Splinter began as he and Shen were moving out of the pet store with Shen already finished petting one of the serpents that were docile and carrying home four baby turtles, one of which cooed as it tumbled over.
Then, Mikey popped up in the flashback and interrupted.
"That was us!", Mikey pointed out.
"Oh, we were so cute back then, weren't we?", Venus asked in a cooing manner.
"Yes. Don't interrupt.", Splinter replied and requested before Mikey then went down and out of the flashback before he continued his story with Mona, Splinter, and Tang Shen walking out with the four baby turtles (1 for Mona's case) before bumping into a Kraangdroid in perfect disguise before they also noticed a pet running away from two people with dogs in baby harnesses chasing after it before the couple evaded their pathway, puzzling Splinter and Tang Shen as they continued their chase.
"We passed strange men on the street, the last of which was chasing after Mayhem. Something felt off about them. We decided to follow.", Shen added before it then showed Mayhem dashing past passengers with the two workout men chasing after him, peeving some of the passengers.
"Hey!", the first passenger shouted.
"Huh?", the second passenger puzzled.
"What the?", the third passenger spoke.
"Easy there!", the fourth passenger shouted as the two workout men shoved the passengers away in pursuit of Mayhem.
"Hey, I'm shopping here!", the fifth passenger exclaimed in response to being pushed away, literally, puzzling Mona before she wondered off with her pet turtle out of curiosity.
Then, Mayhem hopped onto a flag board before hopping off, causing the flags to fall onto the sidewalk, although that did not stop them as they tiptoed along the flags before Splinter and Tang Shen leapt above the flags, minding the four baby turtles as the chase continued, at which point, Mayhem even hopped onto a fish delivery guy's red bike and then onto an apple seller's face before scurrying off as the delivery guy shouted.
"Not cool, dude!", the delivery guy shouted before he then started to hand the delivery over to the customer again only for the two gymnasts to plow them through as the delivery guy gave another complaint.
"You gotta watch where you're going, man!", the delivery guy complained as Splinter and Tang Shen arrived.
"Are you all right?", Tang Shen asked as she helped the delivery guy up.
"Yeah, but honestly, those people are rude.", the delivery guy replied before Splinter spoke.
"Rest assured, we'll deal with them.", Splinter assured before he and Tang Shen took off, although, not without shouting to the delivery guy.
"I hope you do well with your business!", Tang Shen shouted, making the delivery guy smiled.
"Aw. Thanks. Whoever you are.", the delivery guy gratified just as Mona caught up with Venus in tow.
Meanwhile, by the time Mayhem was caught on a dead end, Splinter and Tang Shen were watching from the wall as the gymnasts, along with two strange men in black suits, cornered Mayhem.
"This way.", the gymnast in red spoke before Mayhem turned to notice the two gymnasts growling as they and the two strange men neared him.
Then, just when it seemed like they were going to get him, a rat suddenly squeaked, prompting the two villains, including the two Kraangdroids, to turn and notice Splinter, who inadvertently stepped on a rat's tail before he lifted his foot off the tail and it scurried off, and Shen, allowing Mayhem to teleport out of harm just as the gymnasts turned back and tried to catch him, but failed before Mayhem reappeared near Tang Shen and crawled up on her shoulder, earning her grin and giggle as he purred before Splinter chuckled a bit and then spoke.
"I'm guessing the pet likes you, Shen.", Splinter guessed.
"Apparently.", Shen responded before she and Splinter then turned back to see the two kraangdroids, one of which held the mutagen canister full of green ooze, and the two gymnasts, one in blue with a poodle, and the other in red with a German shepherd puppy.
"Give to me creature. How you say, pretty please, or I'll destroy you.", the blue gymnast threatened before he and his red gymnast partner's eyes glowed purple and then revealed their true forms, resembling mighty beetle hybrid warriors with a sword and staff while the dogs also happened to be Cerberus-like bloodhounds, minus the additional heads, scaring Mona a bit before Splinter and Shen decided to fight them with fists, for Splinter's case, and a silver tessen, for Shen's case, in slight awe, as she used it to cut the strange man in a black suit before it came apart just as he dropped the mutagen canister before the plate that the four baby turtles were standing on broke apart with the four baby turtles landing on it as well just as when Mona moved forward, she inadvertently tripped on the mutagen, causing her own turtle tank for Venus to break in pieces in the process.
Then, both Tang Shen and Splinter wound up mutating into a full-sized rat man, for splinter's case, and a mutant snake, for Tang Shen's as they screamed just as Mona screamed as she, a 4-year-old, wound up mutating as well, but as a mutant lizard while the four turtles evolved due to the green ooze, both shocking and astonishing them before Shen noticed that a man she sliced in half was actually a robotic disguise as the robot powered down before a pink brain-like alien squeaked in anger before hopping off and scurrying off, puzzling her before she noticed that the two mutant beetle warriors disappeared. Then, Shen turned to help the woozy Splinter, now a mutant rat, back up.
"Are you all right?", asked the mutant serpent.
"I will be fine.", Splinter assured before he noticed that he was a mutant rat.
As if that wasn't peculiar enough, he even saw not only the frightened mutant lizard girl who backed away and hid behind the trash can in whimpers, but also the five baby turtles walking in all fours and cooing like normal human babies would just as Shen slithered over to Mona and had to calm her down.
"It's all right, little one. There's no reason to be afraid. We mean you no harm.", Shen assured, calming the little lizard girl down a bit.
"You really mean that?", Young Mona asked puzzlingly.
"Yes.", Shen nodded before Mona calmly stepped out and then saw what Splinter saw in surprise and mystifying awe.
"Whoa...", Mona spoke before Splinter asked a question as Mayhem purred.
"What happened?", asked Splinter before Shen turned to the broken, empty canister.
"I think that canister may have something to do with this.", Shen guessed before it flashed back to the present and Splinter finished up while holding the broken, empty canister.
"That was the beginning of our life together. It was the mysterious substance in this canister that, in a way, gave birth to us all.", Splinter finished before Mikey grabbed it and hugged it.
"Mom.", Mikey sighed as his three brothers watched puzzlingly while Shen only giggled in response.
"Mikey. Technically, Shen is our mother, remember?", Mona grinned.
Mikey then understood that before continuing his hug.
"Oh. Right. I mean, second Mom.", Mikey sighed before Leo spoke.
"So, Sensei. Now that we're 15, I think we're finally ready to go up to the surface, don't you?", asked Leo.
"Yeah. I want a piece of that action.", Venus agreed before Splinter responded.
"Yes.", Splinter responded before the turtles cheered only for Splinter to continue his answer.
"And no.", Splinter continued, bumming the turtles out quickly before he stood up and explained.
"Oh, man. Come on.", Leo complained.
"Lame.", Mikey dejectedly spoke.
"Aw!", Donnie groaned.
"I hate when he does that.", Raph admitted.
"You're telling me?", Venus responded.
"Well, I'm sure it's for a very good reason.", Mona assured.
"Indeed. You have grown powerful, but you are still young. You lack the maturity to use your skills wisely.", Splinter explained.
Then, Donnie knew what it was supposed to mean.
"So, Sensei, isn't that just 'no'?", asked Donnie before Splinter then replied the same answer.
"Yes...and no. Wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from making mistakes.", Splinter replied.
Then, Donnie thought he understood the point.
"Aha! So, in order for us to gain the wisdom, we have to make the mistakes. So, we can go.", Donnie hypothesized.
However, Splinter proved him wrong as did Shen.
"No.", Splinter replied.
"And yes?", Donnie asked.
"No!", Splinter rebuffed before Tang Shen then whipped Donnie in the wrist with her tail.
"Ow! Hey, what was that for?", asked Donnie.
"I think you misunderstood the point.", Shen replied as Mayhem purred before Donnie groaned in displeasure.
Then, Leo had to make his point stand.
"Sensei, we know you and Shen are trying to protect us, but we can't spend our whole lives hiding down here.", Leo pointed out.
"And can Mayhem come with?", Mikey added before Tang Shen spoke.
"He does have a point.", Shen concurred before Splinter then ran his fingers through his small, yet long beard, and thought this over before he noticed his four sons and two daughters in begging positions and giving cute puppy eyes, sighed, and finally gave his final answer.
"You may go tonight.", Splinter replied before the turtles then cheered.
"High three!", Mikey shouted before Leo, Raph, Donnie, Mona, and Venus followed through.
Later, Leo, Mona, and Venus were watching an episode of "Space Heroes" as it showed Captain Ryan spoke to his lieutenant.
"Mr. Crenshaw, Status report!", Captain Ryan requested.
"Status? I'll give you the status! We're gonna blow up in two seconds!", Crenshaw shouted in panic before Captain Ryan slapped Crenshaw's face to snap him out of it.
"Thank you, Captain.", Crenshaw spoke calmly.
Then, Leo began quoting Captain Ryan as he spoke on the TV.
"Gentlemen, I have a bold and daring plan. There's no time for hesitation. My orders must be carried out without question!", Leo quoted as Mayhem purred.
Then, Captain Ryan's men on the TV spoke.
"Aye, sir!", the lieutenants agreed as Mona and Venus quoted their lines.
However, Raph only gave his two cents in response.
"You two know this show is stupid, right?", critiqued Raph.
Leo, however, was undeterred by Raph's comment.
"'Space Heroes' is a great show, and Captain Ryan is a great hero. Someday, I am gonna be just like him.", Leo spoke before Raph then made a comment in response.
"Well, you do like to hear yourself talk, so you're on your way.", Raph responded, peeving Leo a bit as Mayhem purred puzzlingly as he looked around before Donnie and Mikey ran in.
"It's go time!", Mikey shouted joyfully.
First, Donnie readied his Bo staff with an aerial twirl before clutching it and then twirling it again before grabbing it and thrusting it forward and then twirling it and then held it behind him. Then, Raph got his sais ready, spun them around, and then grabbed stopped then, the main blades touching each other before Raph did a couple of spins and then point the main blades close together, but not actually touching this time. Next, Mona drew out her Naginata Staff and then gracefully did a penetrative horizontal slash with it before sheathing it back in. Then, Leo grabbed his two katana swords and pulled them out of the scabbards swinging one blade on one side and another blade in another before finishing with a pose with one blade pointed forward and another held upwards. After that, Venus jumped up, got out her Kana's and tossed them like swirling ninja stars before landing on the ground. And finally, Mikey jumped in and got out two nunchucks with and spun them before he stopped, with which the process three times before he spun them again, but this time with one nunchuck in front of him and another behind him and then prepared a sickle blade from the bottom of the handle of one of his nunchucks and held onto one handle while spinning the free handle around.
Afterwards, Leo, Donnie, Raph, Mikey, Mona, and Venus, with the inclusion of Mayhem, were standing before Splinter and Tang Shen.
"You are going up to a strange and hostile world. You must maintain awareness at all times.", Splinter warned.
"Hai, Sensei!", the mutants shouted in agreement before they began to leave only for Splinter to say something else.
"Stay in the shadows.", Splinter warned.
"Hai, Sensei!", the mutants shouted before the same process repeated for three times with the turtles becoming somewhat more deflated each time.
"Don't talk to strangers.", Splinter added.
"Hai, Sensei.", the mutants agreed.
"Everyone is a stranger!", Splinter warned.
"Hai, Sensei.", the mutants spoke deflatedly before running up to the stairs just as Splinter mentioned another rule.
"Make sure you go before you leave! The restrooms up there are filthy!", Splinter shouted, peeving the four mutant turtles.
"Sensei!", the mutants groaned before Shen giggled and spoke.
"Just let them go for now. They'll be fine.", Shen assured before Splinter sighed.
"Good luck, my sons and daughters.", Splinter spoke.
Then, the mutants smiled again before quickly getting excited.
"Here we go!", Leo shouted.
"I am so pumped!", Donnie exclaimed.
"Surface time!", Raph shouted.
"Oh, this is gonna be epic!", Mikey exclaimed before they quickly left with Splinter shouting one more thing.
"Look both ways before crossing the street!", Splinter shouted.
"We will!", Mona and Venus shouted in unison.
Up at the surface, in the same alleyway where the two guardsmen attacked 15 years ago, a rat passed by near the sewer hatch before Leo opened it up and looked over both ways before pushing it off and then he and his siblings popped out of the hatch, leading to the alleyway, astonishing them as they looked around the walls and even saw a hobo sleeping on a mattress with a newspaper for a blanket.
"Okay, that's just unsanitary.", Mona commented.
Afterwards, the mutants then looked up at the night sky.
"It's so beautiful.", Mikey spoke astonishingly.
Chapter 3
The mutants, with Mayhem in tow, were exploring the city on ground.
"The city is just full of possibility. There could be an adventure around this corner...or-or this one. Or this one.", Leo spoke before the others only noticed a lone dumpster with a cat in it as it meowed before hopping off it.
"Uh, not that I'm complaining, but...why is there nothing here?", Venus puzzled.
"There's not, but there could be.", Leo spoke excitedly before catching up.
Then, Donatello noticed something from the computer store that caught his eye while Raphael was unimpressed.
"Look at all the computers. Is that the next-generation cadmium processor with quantum encryption?", Donnie asked excitedly.
"I don't know, Donatello? Is it?", Raph asked sarcastically.
"It is!", Donnie spoke in excited joy before Michelangelo spoke up with Mayhem on top of his head.
"Guys, guys, check this out!", Mikey spoke while pointing to a flashing Fortune Teller symbol as the hand lit up first and then the eye as the hand dimmed down before the hand lit up again while the eye dimmed down.
"A hand made out of light. Now, it's an eye made out of light. And the hand again! Now, the eye's back! Now, the hand!", Mikey exclaimed as Mayhem grew amazed with the light.
"Come on, genius.", Raph spoke while dragging Mikey away.
"The eye!", Mikey exclaimed.
"So, where to next?", Mona asked before a pizza delivery guy on a motorcycle stopped by in front of the five turtles and lizard all surprised, puzzled, and scared before Raph growled, frightening the delivery guy as he then drove away.
"That was kinda fun.", Raph chuckled a bit.
"Raph, don't you realize what could happen if people see us?", Mona reprimanded slightly.
"We're too exposed out here.", Leo spoke before looking up to see that in terms of the shadows, the rooftops seem to be the best place.
"Come on.", Leo suggested as he, Donnie, Raph, Mona, and Venus headed over there before Mikey stopped and noticed a lone pizza box on the street.
Later, Mikey had already taken the box with him and set the box down and read the word on the bottom of the logo.
"Piz-za?", Mikey puzzled.
"Should we open it?", Donnie puzzled.
"Careful! It could be dangerous.", Leo warned before Raph only opened up the box to reveal its contents to be a big, freshly baked pepperoni pizza.
"I think it's...food.", Donnie stated.
"It's not like any food I ever saw.", Raph stated.
"Well, it's bound to be better than worms and algae, am I right?", Venus guessed.
"We have been eating nothing but that stuff for over 15 years. I guess we could use some variety.", Mona responded.
"I'll try it.", Mikey suggested before picking up a slice and then taking a bite, causing his eyes to widen as his mind was figuratively blown before Mikey moaned in joy before eating the rest of his slice by stuffing it in his mouth, swallowing it, and then burping, puzzling the four turtles and lizard.
"Uh...yuck. You guys won't like it. I'll take the rest.", Mikey spoke before the turtles started clamoring to get their own slices.
"No way!", Donnie responded.
"Nuh-Uh!", Leo added.
"Not a chance, buster!", Venus added.
"No hogging, Mikey.", Mona added.
"Back off!", Raph added as the group took their own slices and then ate them.
"I never thought I'd taste anything better than worms and algae, but this is amazing!", Raph commented before finishing his slice as Mayhem was even given a slice of his own and even burped a bit.
"I love it up here!", Mikey shouted with glee.
Then, later, the mutants were running across rooftops before eventually stopping at the end of it and looking above the city.
"All right, guys. It's getting late. We should probably head back home.", Leo suggested, earning Raph's groan.
"Well, he does have a point.", Mona concurred.
"Aw, lame.", Mikey added before the five started turning back as Donnie spotted something, or rather, someone as did Mayhem, puzzling him.
"Huh?", Mayhem puzzled.
"Guys. Look at that.", Donnie spoke, pointing to a bald man with an orange goatee, a blonde young woman in a purple jacket, and a red-haired teenage girl with a small ponytail on the back of her head with blue eyes, practically astonishing both Donnie and Mona as the former beamed with love while the latter was struck with awe.
"She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.", Donnie spoke in awe.
"Uh, Isn't she the only girl you've ever seen?", Venus asked, snapping him out of his love-like trance.
"My point still stands.", Donnie retorted as Leo only shook his head as Mayhem purred puzzlingly.
"That girl...why does she look so familiar?", Mona puzzled.
At that point, a van just arrived in front of the man named Kirby, the woman named Sandra, and the girl named April.
"What?", Kirby puzzled before a driver named Snake opened the van door and got out.
"What's going on here?", Sandra puzzled.
Then, at that moment, the backdoors opened with four strange men, two beetle warriors with their mutant Cerberus-like dogs, and one mysterious being with a silver cloak resembling a robe and a black helmet with a silver casing at the bottom of it, not to mention a cybernetic right arm and a cybernetic left leg, burst out and closed in toward them.
"What is this?", Kirby asked.
"Attention, O'Neils. You have been chosen for our special project, courtesy of Baron Draxum. Do you have any objections?", the first lieutenant stated.
"Forget the formalities. Take them by force.", the mysterious being urged as April gasped.
Meanwhile, Mayhem began barking angrily at the two lieutenants, although fortunately, not enough to be loud for them to hear.
"We gotta save 'em!", Donnie urged before Leo only put his hand on his shoulder.
"Splinter's instructions were very clear. We're supposed to stay away from people. And bathrooms.", Leo reminded.
"I thought you wanted to be a hero. Since when do heroes ask for permission?", Raph retorted.
"They don't, but...", Leo began.
"The way things are right now, I don't think we have any choice, anyway.", Mona argued.
"Well, I'm going.", Donnie spoke before he took off just as Mayhem vanished at the same time with Raph and Mikey following close by, making Leo sigh before he leapt up as well.
Meanwhile, Kirby was being escorted into the van.
"Help!", April shouted before Draxum's 1st Lieutenant put Kirby in the back of the van.
"I assure you, it is for a good cause that will alter the very nature of humanity.", Draxum's Lieutenant assured.
"Hey!", Raph spoke before one of the strange men turned around and spotted Raph, who then punched him back as Leo was leading one of the strange men with a cartwheel as the strange man whom Raph punched got back up.
"Still standing, huh? I'll fix that.", Raph spoke as he got out his sais before charging in only to bump into Leo.
"Watch it.", Leo spoke.
"You watch it!", Raph retorted back as Leo leapt on top of the strange man and hopped away before the 1st Lieutenant drew his sword and struck the ground with it, forcing Raphael back before moving in to strike only for Raph to block the strikes with his sais and then flip back before getting bumped by Donnie and Mona this time.
"Watch it, Donnie! Sorry, though, Mona.", Raph spoke.
"It's okay.", Mona assured before Mayhem reappeared on top of Donnie's head, prompting the 2nd lieutenant to move in with his sword and attempted to strike only for Donnie to block those strikes before spinning his staff and then trying to poke him back only for it to break apart, shocking him and making Mayhem nervous before the 2nd lieutenant smirked with a chuckle, snapped his fingers, and got his Cerberus-like dog to chase after Donnie as he screamed, prompting Mona to get out her Masamune and start fighting the 2nd lieutenant just as Venus jumped on top of his dog.
As this happened, Mikey was swinging his nunchucks when one of them accidentally got caught in Raph's sai, making it difficult for Raph to attack, allowing the 1st Lieutenant to charge in with a sword strike, but narrowly missed as Raph managed to duck before then getting behind him while Leo blocked the strange man's strikes and even noticed Donnie getting chased by the 2nd lieutenant's Dog which barked like crazy as Venus struggled to get it to heel while Mona clashed her Naginata staff with the 2nd lieutenant's sword. After that, he attempted to move in only to wind up breaking the swords apart upon contact with the 1st lieutenant's tough exterior, shocking Leo and puzzling Raph.
"What the...?", Raph began before he got rammed back by the 1st Lieutenant.
Then, the 1st Lieutenant began chasing Leo as Raph then tried to use the same move on the 1st Lieutenant that he used on Leo once before, only for it to fail as the body was physically unable to be lifted off the ground, and as a result of the attempt to do so that followed, his sais broke apart from their handles, mostly for the 3 blades on each sai.
"Come on.", Raph spoke before the 1st Lieutenant retaliated with a punch, sending Raph back and then zapping his sais, disintegrating them.
"Hey! Not cool, man!", Raph shouted.
Meanwhile, Leo just barely dodged the 1st lieutenant's sword strike while avoiding more strikes before kicking against the strange man behind him, and the 1st lieutenant in front of him, although he guarded himself well with his big sword just before the strange man punched Leo back just as elsewhere, the mysterious being picked up April and carried her off as did the 2nd lieutenant for Sandra's case.
"You're coming with us.", the being spoke.
"Hey! Cut it out! Stop! Ow!", April exclaimed, catching Donnie and Mona's attention as he turned to notice April in danger before then jumping on top of the 2nd lieutenant's dog before propelling himself forward, puzzling it as it whined puzzlingly just as Mona dashed forward.
"Let go of me!", April urged before Mona and Donnie kicked the mysterious being and the 2nd lieutenant in the back, prompting them to release April and Sandra, who were sent flying up before landing in Mona's arms as was her mother for Donnie's case.
"Gotcha!", Donnie assured.
"You're safe, now.", Mona added in assurance before April looked at Mona's face as she smiled softly while Donnie grinned at Sandra grinned as did Mayhem as he was on top of Donnie's head before she and her mother screamed in panic, earning both Mayhem, Mona, Donnie's screams of surprise as well before the dropped them in their brief panic with April and Sandra backing away in caution.
"No, no, no. No. Don't worry. We're the good guys.", Donnie assured before April and Sandra only gave short screams in response.
"It's okay.", Mona assured before April noticed a special necklace that she knows Mona wears.
"Mona...? I-Is that you?", April asked.
"What? H-How do you know who I am?", Mona puzzled.
"It's me, April, your best friend. Where have you been? And what happened to you?", April asked before Sandra gasped upon noticing the 2nd lieutenant drawing his sword as he stepped forward, his dog, and the strange men walking toward them.
"Hand over the vial and the subjects at once.", the 2nd lieutenant urged.
"Not on your life, pal.", Donnie retorted.
"You leave them alone.", Mona added as she drew out her Naginata Staff.
Then, April and Sandra turned back to Mona and Donnie, both of which offered their hands to them as they were cautiously starting to take his hand. Although, it would've worked if Mikey hadn't hit Donnie in the face with his nunchucks, though it was entirely accidental as he was too busy defending himself against the strange men while Venus rode on a dog like a mad bull.
"Oops. Sorry. Watch out!", Mikey shouted before the 2nd lieutenant whacked Donnie and Mikey with his sword like a baseball bat, whilst also barely cutting off the necklace with the vial around it before claiming it at the same time Mona was inadvertently kicked away by the 2nd lieutenant's dog, knocking them toward the garbage cans and bags with Mayhem landing in-between bags just before Sandra and April were both put in the back of the van, which was then turned on.
"Huh?", Donnie puzzled.
"No!", Mona shouted before she and Donnie ran over to the van.
"We have the subjects and the vial!", the 2nd lieutenant spoke over the radio as the van doors, which showed Sandra and April all tied up and their mouths all taped up, closing before Donnie shouted.
"They're getting away! They got Mayhem's necklace and the family!", Donnie shouted as he then gave chase toward the van with Leo and Raph pursuing as well.
"I can't believe you just broke your own swords.", Raph spoke.
"Well, how was I supposed to know that he's that strong?", Leo responded.
"Come on, guys. We can argue about it later. Right now, we have to stop them!", Mona urged.
Meanwhile, as Mikey got up, he suddenly heard Mayhem struggling to get free as he gave cute grunts and gasped as he turned around.
"Mayhem! Are you okay, little dude?!", Mikey spoke in slight worry before Mayhem was now free and gave a determined look and grin as he purred slightly.
"Oh, thank goodness. You scared me.", Mikey sighed in relief just before noticing one of the strange men headed for him as did Mayhem, who spat out the empty can in his mouth as Mikey drew out his nunchucks.
"You think you're tough, huh?! You think you're tough enough to stand up to my hot nunchuck fury?!", Mikey spoke as he prepared to attack before hitting him three times and then trying again only for the strange man to stop the nunchuck with his right arm, surprising both Mikey and Mayhem, who gasped in shock.
"Huh?", Mikey puzzled as the strange man then removed the nunchucks from Mikey's grasp.
"I see. Well, then.", Mikey spoke before he and Mayhem screamed in panic and ran before the two ran away with the strange man giving chase as both Mikey and Mayhem eventually ran up toward an alley only to find a dead end with the strange man walking forward before Mayhem vanished and reappeared while biting into the nunchucks before swinging itself toward the strange man, slashing it with a scythe-like blade that popped out of the nunchuck, apparently cutting the strange man that began to lose balance before falling down with Mayhem giving a determined grunt.
"What the...?", Mikey puzzled before he ran over to him and tilted the strange man to the point that he lays on his back before noticing that the strange man was actually a robot this whole time as a purple eye blinked out and went back on.
"This is all kinds of wrong!", Mikey commented before the robot powered down and a brain with eyes and mouth was seen just behind the shirt before awakening with an angry squeal.
This scared Mikey and Mayhem before the brain popped out and then jumped onto Mikey's face, making him scream in panic.
Chapter 4
Mikey was running in panic, trying to get the pink creature off him before running into a wall. Although nothing seemed to work until Mikey forcibly removed the creature from his head straight toward the wall before it slid down and then ran in a panic with a squeal, relieving and worrying Mikey as Mayhem grew puzzled with a purr.
Later, Mikey and Mayhem caught up to Leo, Donnie, Raph, Mona, and Venus.
"Guys, guys! You're never gonna believe this! That dude, he-he...had a brain!", Mikey exclaimed.
"We all have brains, Mikey.", Leo responded.
"Not all of us.", Donnie responded.
"In our chests?!", Mikey responded.
"No, Mikey. Not in our chests.", Leo replied.
"You're not listening to me!", Mikey exclaimed in anger before Leo slapped Mikey to try to calm him down, only for it to fail, slightly at least.
"Did you just slap me?", Mikey asked.
"I was calming you down.", Leo explained.
"WHY WOULD THAT CALM ME DOWN?!", Mikey responded angrily.
"I think he's delusional.", Donnie guessed in his opinion.
"Just...just come here. I'm telling you, the big guy was a robot and he had a freaky weird alien brain thing in his chest!", Mikey urged as he and Mayhem then headed back to where he was with Leo, Donnie, and Raph following them.
"You gotta believe me.", Mikey spoke as Mayhem climbed back on top of his shoulder.
"I'm not sure we do.", Raph responded.
"Well, we have fought two beetle warriors and their pet dogs, Raph.", Mona interjected.
"Don't remind me.", Raph retorted calmly.
"Oh, yeah? Well, you'll change your tune when you see that he's...", Mikey began as they arrived only to notice that the robot suit in human skin was not here.
"Gone?", Mikey puzzled.
"There are no such things as brain aliens, Mikey.", Mona stated.
"Would be cool if there were, though.", Venus commented before Leo, Donnie, Raph, and Mona have puzzled glances at Venus and walked away with Mikey walking dejectedly as Mayhem purred dejectedly for him as Venus grew puzzled.
"What? Is it just me who thinks that?", Venus puzzled.
"Still...I can't help but feel that this is...familiar.", Mona commented before Mayhem noticed his apparent armband beeping a bit faster at first before it slowed down and stopped, puzzling Mayhem.
Later, at the lair, Tang Shen spoke up first.
"So, how did it go up there on the surface?", Shen asked.
"Truth be told, not exactly good.", Mona responded before Mayhem shuddered a bit in response and exclaimed a bit in agreement.
"Those bad men came back, didn't they?", Shen guessed.
"Uh-Huh.", Mayhem nodded.
"Good thing they were able to keep you safe, at least, isn't it?", Shen grinned as she picked Mayhem up, making Mona grin a bit.
"Yes. But their inability to work together not only shattered most of their weapons, but it had also allowed them all to get away!", Splinter added in slight reprimand.
"It's not like I wanted them to get away. I tried to go after them but they were just too fast.", Mona spoke.
"Yeah. One of their pet dogs was even as mad as a bull seeing red.", Venus agreed.
"Well, maybe if I didn't have to waste my time arguing with 'hero-boy', I could've saved them.", Raph responded.
"Hey, if you hadn't gotten in my way, I could've done it. And you went flying off on your own! How smart was that?", Leo retorted to Raph before he spoke to Donnie.
"Well, it would've worked out great if somebody hadn't hit me in the head with their nunchucks!", Donnie responded, pinning the blame on Mikey.
"Well, none of this would've happened if...", Mikey began before he turned around to notice no one else to blame on his left before then turning back to Splinter.
"Somebody hadn't trusted us to go up there in the first place.", Mikey finished before his five siblings realized that error quickly while Mikey realized his a bit late.
"Oh, geez. Sensei, I didn't mean to...", Mikey began before Splinter peacefully interrupted.
"No, Michelangelo. You are right.", Splinter spoke, puzzling the turtles.
"I am?", Mikey puzzled.
"He is?", Leo, Donnie, Raph, Mona, and Venus puzzled.
"One of you were very close, but you were not fully prepared for what was up there. I trained you to fight as individuals, not as a team. And as your teacher, your father, the responsibility for that is mine. Perhaps, in another year, we can try again.", Splinter assured.
"Wha...Another year?! Has everybody forgotten that people were kidnapped? They don't have a year! Sensei, we have to do something, now!", Donnie urged only earning a slight glare from Splinter.
"You weren't there, Sensei. You didn't see the way that girl looked into my eyes. She was scared. And she was counting on me, er, us, to save her.", Donnie added, puzzling Splinter a bit.
"Yeah. Think back to when you took me and Venus in to the family. We were scared, too, and we had nowhere to go"., Mona added.
"Donatello and Mona do have a point, Yoshi. Besides, now that Mayhem's vial was taken, there's no telling what it could do to them.", Tang Shen agreed.
Then, after looking back at a picture of him and Shen back when they were human, Splinter had reached his final decision.
"Yes. You must save her.", Splinter spoke.
"I agree, Sensei, but in that fight, we weren't exactly a well-oiled machine.", Leo stated.
"Like that robot with the brain-thingy.", Mikey added before Mayhem nodded in agreement.
"Give it a rest.", Raph spoke.
"Robot with the brain-thingy? That was just like one of the strange men I've noticed all those years ago.", Shen stated.
"Finally! Someone believes me! Thank you.", Mikey shouted in spiteful relief.
"Wait. You and Mona saw them, too?", Mikey puzzled in realization.
"Unfortunately, yes, Michelangelo. And it was just after our mutation.", Shen explained.
"I thought it sounded familiar.", Mona commented.
"Regardless, Mona, your brothers are going to need weaponry of the mystic kind.", Splinter spoke.
"And how good are those? Just out of curiosity.", Raph asked.
"We're so glad you asked, Raphael.", Shen grinned before Splinter opened up a compartment, which held all four mystic weapons, although the purple Bo Staff was made out of military-grade titanium at the top of it while the blue katanas, the orange nunchuck with a spiked yo-yo hanging down from it, and red sticks with wooden handles as they floated.
"What?!", Leo exclaimed in surprise.
"No way!", Raph spoke in surprise.
"Amazing.", Donnie spoke as Mikey got teary-eyed in awe and then ran for the compartment to look in awe.
"You and Shen had those the whole time, Sensei?", Leo asked in surprise.
"The earlier weapons were only to prepare you.", Splinter responded.
"And truth be told, we were planning on giving you those after the birthday cake as presents anyway.", Shen added.
"So, that means...", Leo guessed.
"Yes. You may each take your mystic weapons.", Splinter agreed.
"Oh, yeah! Dibs on the yo-yo!", Mikey spoke as he then grabbed the nunchuck and spun out the yo-yo in a way that best suits his style while Donnie takes the titanium staff and then swings it around before then holding it at the ready.
"Wow. This was just like my old staff, but better!", Donnie spoke in awe.
"Michelangelo, the weapon you hold now is called the Kusari-Fundo. It can extend to great lengths and has the potential to lift any heavy object that bars your path from your goal.", Splinter stated.
"Really, Sensei? Can it even do this?", Mikey asked excitedly before then thrusting the ball forward and even began spinning it while making noises.
"Yes, Michelangelo. However, it is important to warn you that its power can occasionally become out of control, causing it to come to life as a mystic flaming skull.", Splinter responded.
"Wait, what?", Mikey puzzled before the ball sparked up with flames and laughed mischievously.
"Oh, no.", Mikey spoke before it started going crazy, causing Mikey to go everywhere in the room as he screamed from the sudden force of being moved as the ball laughed.
"I rest my case. Donatello. Your Tech-Bo Staff is made of military-grade titanium. It even serves more than one function. But only you can discover how many for yourself.", Splinter stated.
"More than one function, huh? I guess I could give it a few test runs.", Donnie grinned.
"Uh, what am I supposed to do with these?", Raph asked, pointing to the wooden sticks with handles.
"Those are called Tonfas. They not only create a mystic force field around its wielder, but it also enhances their strengths. Try channeling your emotions into pure mystic energy through those weapons.", Splinter suggested.
Raph only groaned a bit before taking them.
"All right.", Raph spoke before then taking a deep breath and then started pretending to hit someone, causing the red sparks to fly off the weapons, astounding Raph.
"Whoa...Now, this one's just right up my alley.", Raph grinned before Leo then picked up his blue katana from the compartment and grew astounded.
"And finally, Leonardo, the weapon you now hold is called the Ōdachi. Naturally, it is a five-foot long samurai sword that can not only cut through any and every known material within and beyond this realm, but it also possesses the ability to create portals.", Splinter spoke to Leo.
"Hey, not too bad. Can't blame you if there was only one of these. Still, I think it'll do just as fine.", Leo grinned.
"As it should. It may hold more mystic power than you ever know, Leonardo. And with that mystic power with each of you and your brother's weapons comes a great responsibility that you have to carry and honor at all times.", Shen stated.
"Hai, Sensei.", the turtles spoke.
"As for Mona and Venus, their own weapons are already mystic. Mona's Naginata staff can instantly become a Masamune for a split second and cut down all enemies from a ranged distance while Venus' Kana's can open up a portal as well, but only at a short distance. Up until recently, there wasn't any need for them to use their weapons' mystic abilities.", Splinter spoke.
"Aha! I knew you were holding back!", Raph guessed with a slight smirk.
"Look, can we talk about this later?", Mona asked.
"And one more thing. If you are going to fight more effectively as a unit, you are going to need a leader.", Splinter added.
"Can I be the leader?", Leo asked as he raised his hand.
"Why should you be the leader? I kicked your butt. I should be the leader.", Raph responded.
"I'm smarter than all you guys put together. It should be me.", Donnie argued.
"No way! It should be me!", Mikey argued, puzzling Mayhem and the three turtles.
"I don't really have a reason. I just think it would be neat.", Mikey explained.
"I, for one, hope that whoever the leader is, he'd at least more sensible about it.", Mona stated.
Then, Splinter opened the door as he responded.
"This is a difficult decision. I will meditate on it.", Splinter spoke before closing the door.
However, after a second and a half, Splinter opened the door and spoke the answer.
"It's Leonardo.", Splinter spoke before closing the door.
"No hard feelings, Raph?", Leo asked before Raph only groaned as he got up and walked away.
"Just stick it in your shell. You're just lucky we all got cool weapons.", Raph responded.
Later, outside, on a rooftop, the mutants were watching for any suspicious activity. Of course, the mutants had their own opinions on the matter of surveillance.
"Explain to me one more time what we're doing here.", Mikey whispered, earning groans from the five mutants.
"Mikey, we've been over this. That building has the same logo as the van that was used to kidnap the family. So, if we wait here long enough, one of the kidnappers will eventually show his face. And when he does, we'll make him tell us where he took them.", Leo responded.
"And then, we got ourselves a band.", Mikey guessed, prompting Leo to facepalm himself.
"Just hit the guy I tell you to.", Leo responded.
"Will do.", Mikey agreed as he gave a thumbs-up before Raph then spoke to Leo.
"Are you sure this is gonna work?", Raph asked.
"Trust me. They'll be here any second.", Leo assured.
However, Leo and Mona stood vigilant as in that same moment, Mikey flipped a piece of paper toward Donnie, inadvertently hitting him awake, before Donnie glared at Mikey, who laughed nervously as Venus slept. 1 hour later, Mikey slept as Mayhem watched Donnie do some jump roping only to trip up eventually. Then, another hour passed as Mikey was playing "I Spy".
"Okay. I'm thinkin' of somethin' green. Green. Ga-reen.", Mikey spoke to Donnie as Mayhem grew curious as it looked around with purrs.
"Is it Raphael again?", Donnie asked.
"Man, you're good at this!", Mikey spoke as Mayhem grinned with a purr.
"Whoever is out there Sure is taking a long time.", Venus stated.
Then, Raph spoke to Leo.
"Give it up, already. The guy's not gonna show.", Raph spoke.
"We have to be patient.", Leo responded.
"No, you have to come up with a better plan, 'cause the four of us standing here with our thumbs up our noses...", Raph began.
"I don't think they'd fit.", Mikey interrupted.
"...is pointless.", Raph finished just as the van pulled up.
"Are you sure about that, Raph?", Mona asked with a smirk.
"He just showed up, didn't he?", Raph guessed as the van just pulled up.
"I should've complained 2 hours ago.", Raph spoke to himself as the driver pulled over behind the building.
"Gentlemen, I have a bold and daring plan. There's no time for hesitation. My orders must be carried out without question!", Leo spoke.
"Yes, sir!", Mona and Venus saluted before they and also noticed that Donnie, Raph, and Mikey just up and left.
"Guys? Guys, wait up!", Leo spoke as Mayhem purred a bit.
"That was rude.", Venus commented before they joined Leo as he slid down the ladder before he and his siblings surrounded the driver of the van.
"All right, buddy. We can do this the easy way, or...,my vote, the hard way.", Raph warned as he and his siblings drew their mystic weapons while Mayhem gave a fierce, angry glare at the driver.
"Yeah. Look at it logically. There are six of us and one of you. What are you gonna do?", Donnie chuckled a bit.
Then, the driver retaliated by getting out a purple laser gun and then firing it at the turtles, prompting them to jump away from line of fire, giving the driver a chance to escape.
"You had to ask!", Raph spoke to Donnie before they got back down on the ground and started going after it only for the van to get much faster and get away just as Leo and Donnie landed.
"He's getting away again.", Donnie spoke.
"No, he's not.", Leo responded.
"Not this time.", Mona added before she and the turtles started following the van in pursuit via rooftops.
Eventually, Raph caught up to the van and leapt on top of it, prompting the driver to turn sharply, shaking Raph off in the process before going a different direction with Leo, Donnie, and Mikey following the van close by running across the rooftops next to the van, not knowing that the driver looked at his rear view mirror to notice the turtles heading for him before looking over to his right side and then getting out his blaster, which had a sort of blade with saw-like spikes at the bottom before firing it at the turtles, two of which jumped off while Leo, Mona, and Venus remained in pursuit before jumping off the rooftop, flipping, and tossing one of the stars toward one of the portals that Venus just made before it then sent the star straight toward a tire, popping it, and causing the van to veer out of control toward a lamppost and land in its left side as it let out a continuous honk loudly, which then slowed to a stop as Leo landed on a rooftop nearby and noticed.
"Now, we're getting somewhere.", Leo spoke.
Later, Mona, Venus, Leo and his three brothers were just behind the side of the building as the former was using hand signals, none of which Donnie, Raph, Mona, Venus, or Mikey understood.
"I don't know what that means.", Raph whispered.
"Go around back!", Leo whispered.
"Why didn't he just say so?", Mikey puzzled.
"Yeah, that would've made sense.", Venus commented as Mayhem purred.
Then, the six mutants and Mayhem circled around back toward the van and opened up the back door of the van, dropping a canister of mutagen toward the street as it rolled toward Mikey, surprising him and Mayhem as Mayhem gave a surprised sound as he and Mikey were intrigued by the glowing canister of mutagen.
"Second Mom?", Mikey puzzled before the scene shifted to a comic book-sketch scene of sorts.
