A/N: Hello, everyone. I figured that before I start working on "Dragon Ball Super: Cauly", I'd like to at least post one more episode of "Rise of the TMNT" (2012) that would best elaborate on what else April can do at least near the ending of this episode. First things first, though. As we all might know, Lewis Black voices both Vic and Spider Bytez. Also, there is a parenthesis to best explain what the Japanese kaiju say in this chapter now. So, without further ado, here is the 3rd overall episode of "Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (2012). Enjoy. :)
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012)
"Turtle Temper"
Chapter 1
It all started at night as while someone named Vic was watching a horror movie of sorts in his apartment, up above, Leo, Donnie, Raph, Mikey, April, Mona, and Venus were looking down from the rooftops.
"Anything yet, Donnie?", the redhead turtle asked.
"Nothing yet.", Donnie spoke.
"Aaand this could take a while.", Venus spoke.
"We just have to be patient, Venus. They'll turn up soon.", Mona assured while Mikey was annoying Raph, who swatted his hand away only for it to happen twice before Raph caught wind of it early and stopped his hand, making him scream before Mikey then sucked on his finger afterwards before Leo spoke up.
"Guys, when ninjas are on surveillance, they are supposed to be silent!", Leo whispered.
"Sorry, Leo. I'll scream quieter.", Mikey apologized before poking Raph in the head again and laughing, this time, angering Raph to the point that he then grabbed Mikey's hand and then tossed him over, inadvertently knocking down the satellite dish, and trapped Mikey in a headlock while picking him up.
"Say it.", Raph urged.
"Raph, would you please keep it down?", Mona asked whisperingly.
"Not 'til Mikey says it.", Raph responded.
"Raphael is all-wise and powerful.", Mikey began before Raph then grabbed him and began squeezing his head playfully.
"And?", Raph spoke.
"And he's better than me in every possible way.", Mikey added before Raph released him, only to pin him down on the ground.
"And?", Raph asked.
"And I'm a lowly worm beneath his feet who isn't fit to live in the same planet as him because he's so amazing and I'm a dirt clod!", Mikey added before Raph licked his finger and prepared to poke him.
"And?!", Raph added.
"And in the history of the universe, there's never been...!", Mikey began.
"Okay, enough!", Leo whispered, prompting Raph to release Mikey.
"We're wasting our time, the Kraang aren't gonna show up.", Raph complained.
"Just be a little more patient, okay, Raph?", Mona suggested.
"Trust me, guys, they're gonna break into that lab. I have reliable intel.", Donnie spoke.
"Intel? You mean, April told you.", Raph spoke with a smirk.
"You mean your girlfriend?", Mikey grinned.
"Good one, April.", Mona responded, puzzling April and causing her to blush.
"Yeah, really good one.", Venus agreed before both Donnie and April snapped at the same time.
"She's not my girlfriend, guys.", Donnie snapped.
"I'm not his girlfriend, guys.", April snapped at the same time Donnie did before April sighed.
"Look. I'm just his friend. That's all.", April explained.
"Yeah. A friend, whose dad got kidnapped by the same aliens who are gonna break into that lab and we're gonna stop 'em.", Donnie spoke.
"Nice save there, Donnie.", April commented with a grin.
"Or we'll sit out on a cold roof all night for no reason.", Raph retorted.
"Uh, we're doing surveillance, Raph. Maybe you forgot that.", Mona commented before the door opened up, attracting the 7 mutants' attention.
"What the heck's going on up here? What are you, playin' dress up?", Vic puzzled as he went to the rooftop to check the damage.
"No, but we are gonna get out of your hair.", April responded.
"That's right, sir. We were just...", Leo began, not knowing that Vic noticed the destroyed satellite dish.
"Which one of you slimy, green ham shanks busted my satellite dish?!", Vic accused.
"Ham shanks?!", Raph exclaimed.
"I don't even know what that means.", Donnie stated.
"Me neither, but I don't like it.", Raph responded before Mona stopped him.
"Hold your fire, Raph. He's not worth the effort.", Mona spoke before they started to walk away, especially Raph.
However, Vic clearly wasn't done with him.
"That's right, you spineless cream puff. Listen to your mommy.", Vic insulted, angering Raph to the point where he drew out Tonfas.
"Hey. Watch it, buddy. First off, Mona's not my 'mommy'. She's my sister. Secondly, only Mona gets to call me a cream puff.", Raph responded.
"Oh, no. I didn't know you had twigs.", Vic mocked.
"Twigs?! I'm not gonna take this from some greasy, pit-stained slob with a combover!", Raph exclaimed just as the Kraang were carrying the Mutagen to the van with only April noticing the Kraang.
"You callin' me ugly? Seen you in the mirror lately, circus freak?", Vic goaded just as the Kraang spotted the mutants and Vic on the rooftop.
"Raph, no!", Mona urged as she, Venus, Leo, Donnie, and Mikey held Raph back.
"You want a piece of me?", Vic goaded.
"Uh, Raph?", April spoke up.
"When I'm done, a piece of you is all that's gonna be left...!", Raph began before one of the Kraang started firing but missed.
"Kraang droids!", Leo exclaimed.
"Holy Toledo!", Vic exclaimed.
"Great. You let the Kraang spot us.", April spoke in frustration.
"Yeah, way to blow our position, Raph.", Leo added as he and the others prepared for battle before the Kraang droids prepare for battle as well.
Chapter 2
The Kraang began to fire at them.
"Scatter!", Leo urged before the 7 mutants jumped up to avoid the blasts just as Vic ran and hid near the exit door.
"April, you need to stay back and hide somewhere safe.", Donnie urged.
"What? I can fight, too, Donnie.", April responded.
"Just do it, April. I don't want you to get hurt.", Donnie only urged.
Seeing as the Kraang are not to be underestimated, April only sighed before agreeing.
"Fine.", April responded before then heading over to where Vic was, but this time, behind the small area that Vic is in.
Just in time, too, as Vic got the idea to get out his phone and began to record the fight.
"Holy cow. They're some kinda...king fu frogs.", Vic spoke, not knowing that April saw him recording the fight as Raph dodged the lasers and then generated a red mystic force field before smashing one of the Kraang droids on the rooftop just as Leo dodged the lasers and then kicked him back while Mikey did flips and then used his Kusari-Fundo to grab another one of the Kraang droids and then spun him around in the air before smashing him into the ground before Donnie charged in and then formed a rocket fist on his tech bo and then smacked it against the Kraang droid.
After that, Venus and Mona dodged the lasers with Venus creating a portal for Mona to go through with her Kana's before Mona stepped through toward another short range portal before quickly dispatching the droids with her mystic naginata staff in Masamune mode, mowing down the robots, causing them to power down with the Kraang then popping out of said robot bodies and fleeing before Donnie turned the rocket fist at the end of the staff back to normal, prompting the Kraang to retreat with Donnie's staff then retracting into a small size before then placing it on the bottom of his purple tech-like shell strapped onto his own just as Mona's Masamune reverted back to a naginata staff.
"Keep goin', Kung fu frogs. This is pure gold.", Vic grinned.
"We're not frogs, you idiot!", Raph snapped.
"Yeah. We're Turtles!", Venus agreed.
"Uh, not me. I'm a lizard.", Mona stated.
"Yeah, and it's not kung fu. It's an ancient Japanese battle art.", Donnie added.
"Uh, guys? Are you forgetting the fact that that guy just caught you guys on video?", April asked, making Raph growl.
"Not for long, he doesn't.", Raph spoke before charging toward Vic, only for him to close the door on Raph, making him hit himself in the head before laughing.
"I'm gonna make a fortune off of this!", Vic laughed just as sirens sounded
"Guys, look down there.", April spoke, pointing toward a nearby fire truck.
"Fire truck's en route. 30 seconds.", Donnie spoke.
"Let's move.", Leo urged before Raph refused.
"Wait, we need to find that guy and break his phone and his face!", Raph urged.
"We can worry about that later, Raph. Right now, we gotta head back to the lair.", April urged before Raph only growled in exasperation before leaving with Leo, Donnie, Mikey, Mona, Venus, and especially April, who followed close by.
Needless to say, neither Splinter nor Shen were happy as the latter gave a look of disappointment toward Raph as the former spoke.
"Not only did Raphael alert the Kraang, but you got caught. On video.", Splinter spoke.
"Well, not ALL of us were caught on video. I was the only one who wasn't.", April stated.
"And that's the reason why you're not getting scolded by Splinter.", Sandra grinned to April as she gave April a slight scratch in her head, making her giggle a bit.
"Yes. You were wise to stay back, April, which is more than I can say for my sons and daughters, especially Raphael.", Splinter stated.
"Sensei, he was the angriest, nastiest guy you ever met.", Raphael responded before Mikey popped up and interjected.
"Except for you.", Mikey spoke before getting slapped in the back of the head.
"Ow!", Mikey exclaimed.
"You should've heard the insults this guy was throwing at us.", Raph spoke.
"You mean at you?", April corrected.
"Whatever! They were so...insulting!", Raph finished.
"Oh. I did not realize he said Jean things. Of course. You had no choice but to jeopardize your mission!", Splinter spoke sarcastically.
"Burn.", Mikey smirked.
"Just cool it, Mikey.", Mona sighed.
"You are ninjas. You work in the shadows. In secret. This becomes difficult if there is proof of your existence. In high definition.", Splinter stated.
"Look. We know where this guy lives. All we need to do is find him and shake him until the tape pops out.", Raph stated.
"Actually, Raph, there isn't any tape.", April explained.
"April's right, Raph. Video phones use flash memory a...", Donnie began to agree before getting cut off by Raph's angry growling.
"Raphael. Anger is self-destructive.", Shen warned.
"I always thought it was 'others-destructive'.", Raph responded.
"Raphael! Stand up.", Splinter responded before he did so.
"Somebody's in trouble.", Mikey spoke in a sort of mocking tone.
"Oh, hush you.", Mona responded.
Later, at the dojo, the 6 mutants were surrounding Raphael with bows and plungers as arrows.
"Evade the arrows.", Splinter instructed.
"No problem.", Raph agreed.
"派時眼 (Hajime)!", Splinter shouted before all 6 began firing their arrows with all of them missing Raph, especially with one of them headed toward Splinter, who caught it.
"屋眼 (Ya Me)!", Splinter shouted.
"Again, except this time, Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo, insult Raphael.", Shen stated as Raph then stood up straight, holding on to his Tonfas after Splinter shouted.
"Wait. Insult him?", Donnie puzzled.
"Yes.", Splinter replied.
"And he can't fight back?", Donnie asked.
"No.",Splinter responded.
"I'm feeling good about this plan.", Donnie chuckled a bit.
"派時眼!", Splinter shouted before the 6 mutants circles around Raph again, but this time, with 3 out of 6, mainly the boys, were ready to lay down the insults as Mikey laughed a bit.
"You move like a bloated buffalo.", Mikey insulted before firing his arrow just as Venus did as well, only for Raph to dodge and then retort.
"I do not!", Raph retorted.
"And you're always whining. 'Poor me.
Nobody understands me.'", Leo insulted before firing his arrow.
"Yeah.", Mikey agreed as Mona then fired her arrow as well.
"Well, you don't understa...Gah!", Raph spoke as both Mona and Leo's plunger arrows hit him and stuck in the back.
"And...oh! You don't keep your back straight when doing 表向定 固定 逆(omote kote gyaku).", Donnie added before she and April then fired their arrows at Raph, angering him.
"Gah!", Raph exclaimed upon contact.
"And you're ugly!", Donnie added before he and April fired more plunger arrows at him with the former laughing.
"And gassy. Bull's-eye!", Mikey spoke.
"Stop it!", Raph shouted.
"Oh, you talk so tough, but inside, you're just a scared little baby.", Leo insulted.
"Who needs his bottle?", Donnie added.
"And his diaper changed?", Mikey added.
"Ah!", Raph exclaimed.
"What's the matter, Raph? Gonna cry?", Leo insulted as more arrows were fired from all sides.
"I...am...not...gonna cry!", Raph retorted as he was repeatedly hit before he fell over.
"Ah... I wish this moment could last forever.", Mikey grinned before Raph then stood up, fed up with the results.
"You know what? Forget this. This is stupid.", Raph spoke before he then stepped forward.
"Ugh! It didn't.", Mikey groaned.
"Um, maybe it's for the best, though, Mikey.", April assured.
"任意苦 精神 (Ninniku seishin) is the ability to endure insults with patience and humility. You cannot be a true ninja until you master it.", Splinter stated before Mikey laughed as an arrow fell off, earning Raph's angry glare.
"Understood?", Splinter asked.
"Hai, sensei.", Raph responded.
"Then, you know what must be done. You must get that video back. Using reason, not force.", Shen stated.
Later, at night, Vic was speaking with someone over the phone about the video he took.
"That's right. I swear on my mother's grave that these guys are frogs and they know kung fu. You can't tell me that's not worth somethin'.", Vic Apple before Leo, Donnie, Raph, Mikey, April, Mona, and Venus landed around him.
"I'll call you back.", Vic spoke before hanging up.
"Lay one finger on me, frog, and I'm calling the cops.", Vic warned.
"We're not gonna hurt you.", Raph begrudgingly assured.
"Then, what do you want, freak?", Vic asked.
"Look. I think we got off on the wrong foot last night.", April explained.
"Yeah. Some things were said and, well, we would just like that video back.", Raph responded before Leo and the others grinned, not bringing much change to Vic's face before Leo bumped Raph in the arm.
"Please?", Raph added begrudgingly.
"What are you gonna give me for it?", Vic asked.
"Give you for it?", Raph puzzled.
"He might want to trade for something better than that video.", April guessed.
"Redhead's got a point. I figure I got you over a barrel, so you got to make it worth my while.", Vic concurred.
"I'll make it worth your while. I WON'T TAKE YOUR HEAD AND SMASH IT AGAINST THE...!", Raph began snapping before Mona stopped him.
"Oooookay, Raph. How about you let me take over from here, cool? Cool.", Mona suggested, peeving Raph in an exasperated tone before Mona spoke to Vic.
"Anyway, what would you wanna get for that video?", Mona asked.
"Uh..., a cool 'mil oughta cover it.", Vic responded with a grin, shocking April as Leo was puzzled.
"A cool 'mil of what exactly?", Leo puzzled.
"A million dollars.", Vic responded.
"What?! A million dollars?!", Mona exclaimed.
"That's highway robbery!", Venus added in exclamation.
"We do have some Canadian quarters that fell through the grate.", Mikey assured before Vic only refused.
"I can make serious money off this thing, and if you don't want to pay, I'll hold on to it until someone else does.", Vic refused before Raph quickly snapped, grabbed Vic by the arm and pinned him to the ground.
"That's it! Hand over the video or so help me, I'll kick your hairy butt all the way to New Jersey!", Raph threatened just as the Kraang were getting in the van and suddenly overheard Raph blowing up again before the van went toward the area where Raph and Vic are.
"Guys, look!", Leo shouted before April was the next to notice after Leo and just before Donnie, Mikey, Mona, and Venus noticed as well.
"The Kraang!", April shouted before the van arrived at the area near Raph.
"Raph!", Mona shouted as the van got closer to him and Vic with the lights shining on them.
Chapter 3
The van was headed for Leo and Vic when Mona ran in toward them.
"Look out!", Mona shouted as she then pushed Leo and Vic out of the way before the van could hit them.
Afterwards, the two mutants then stood up and turned to notice the van trying again.
"Let's try not to let this one get away.", Mona suggested before Raph then picked up a trash can and tossed it toward the van, causing it to swerve toward the metal gate on the building.
"Well, that was easy.", Raph commented with a grin.
"Maybe. But I don't think we're out of the woods yet, Raph.", April responded before the Kraang burst out from the back of the van with their guns and began firing.
"Ooookay.", Raph responded before Donnie yelped in surprise.
Then, yet another skirmish with the Kraang began with the mutants dodging the lasers up until Raph ran in the metal gate and launched himself from it before kicking the Kraang to the ground, powering up the Tonfas, and then smashing his fist against the Kraang droid before then grabbing it by the leg and then smash it against the ground while Vic was crawling down to avoid the skirmish all while missing the stray lasers at the same time.
Meanwhile, Donnie whacked one of the Kraang with his tech bo staff while Mikey whacked the Kraang droid to the ground with the ball just as Venus launched her kanas at the Kraang droid, dealing little to no damage as a distraction before April kicked at the droid's back from behind Vic was about to run off only to wind up inside the van with his phone sliding in. At that point, Leo, Raph, and Mona were fending off the Kraang droids with their own weapons up until the latter of the three took notice of Vic inside the van with his phone. Unfortunately, Raph noticed him, too.
"Oh, no, you don't!", Raph growler as he then started making his way toward the van.
"Raph, what are you doing?", Mona asked in worry before she went over to him, puzzling Leo.
"Raph, Mona, what are two you doing?! Get back here!", Leo shouted before he got kicked away by one of the Kraang droids and even get kicked repeatedly.
"Raph!", Leo shouted.
Meanwhile, just as Vic was about to crawl out, Raph stopped him.
"We've got unfinished business! Give me that phone right now!", Raph growled as he cornered him before Mona stopped Raph and then spoke to Vic.
"Sir, it's not safe for you to be in here.", Mona urged just before the three Kraang droids went inside the van just before it started to drive away.
"Guys! Raph and Mona are in the van!", April shouted.
"Come on, guys! Let's go after that van!", Leo urged.
Meanwhile, inside the van, Raph Mona fought off the Kraang with his Tonfas and her naginata staff and impaled one of their guns with it before kicking one of the Kraang to the wall and shocking it, causing part of his face to be exposed before Raph then tussled with the remaining two, one of which grabbed him by the neck and tried to toss him out only for Raph to bite him in the arm, allowing Mona to sweep the Kraang droid's legs with her tail before turning to Vic.
"Come on. We need to get out of here, Mr. uh...", Mona puzzled.
"Vic. The name's Vic and you can forget it. You lizards don't want to buy my video, maybe these guys will.", Vic refused.
"Except they aren't normal people.", Mona responded before Donnie shouted for Raph and Mona.
"Raph! Mona! Get out of there!", Donnie shouted.
"Not without Vic!", Mona responded before taking Vic's hand.
"'Vic'?", Raph puzzled before Mona spoke to him.
"Look, Vic. Believe me when I say you do not want to involve yourself with them. They're dangerous.", Mona responded.
"And another thing, frogs are not lizards, and we're not frogs!", Raph reprimanded before one of the Kraang grabbed him and Mona and then tossed them off the van with April catching her.
"Gotcha, Mona.", April spoke before Raph tumbled toward Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and Venus as Vic saw the mutants seemingly getting smaller.
"So long, froggy.", Vic laughed before one of the Kraang move toward him.
"Uh, thanks for the help, guys. Have I got a deal for you.", Vic spoke before the Kraang only stared blankly.
"So, are you all triplets or what?", Vic puzzled as the Kraang then walked toward him.
Meanwhile, Mona turned to April in relief.
"Phew. Thanks, April.", Mona grinned.
"Anything for my BFF.", April grinned.
"Yeah, but the Kraang got away with Vic.", Venus added before Leo scolded Raph.
"Nice going, Raph.", Leo spoke sarcastically.
"What did I do?", Raph puzzled.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! You left our brothers, sister, and my best friend to fight the Kraang to yell at a guy I was trying to reason with!", Mona reprimanded angrily in response.
"Calm down, Mona. There's no need to yell at him like that.", April urged.
"Yeah, sis, just go to your happy place.", Venus agreed.
"There is no happy place with repetitive mistakes like that!", Mona responded angrily.
"Mona's right. We could've stopped them, but thanks to your temper, the guy with the tape...!", Leo began before Donnie interrupted.
"Yeah, technically, it's a flash...", Donnie began.
"Not now! ...is in the hands of the Kraang! How are we supposed to find them?", Leo continued reprimanding just as April and Donnie noticed the leak puddles on the street making a trail.
"Guys. Take a look at this.", April spoke, pointing to the bubbles.
"The truck's leaking.", Donnie stated.
"All right! We can follow the trail to their hideout.", Leo grinned before Raph spoke up.
"And bash some bots.", Raph added, only to earn a growl from Mona.
"What?", Raph puzzled.
"We are going to bash some bits. You, on the other hand, are going home.", Leo responded.
"What, are you kidding? Come on, guys. Are you gonna let Leo power trip like this?", Raph asked.
"I think Leo's right.", Donnie stated.
"Yeah. You have been killing the good vibes lately, and not in a good way.", Venus added.
"You gotta control your temper. Until then, we just can't trust you.", Mona agreed before she, Leo, Donnie, Mikey, Venus, and April turned their backs and left.
"Sorry, Raph.", Mikey apologized.
"If it makes you feel any better, you can come help us after you got your temper under control.", April assured before she left.
Raph, however, did not take it lightly and then smashed his fists against the ground once.
Later, at the lair, Raph was ranting to Mayhem and Spike about Leo's quote-unquote "unfair decision".
"Who does Leo think he is? So what if I got a temper? I'm still the best fighter we got. If anything, my anger makes me a better fighter. You understand me, don't you, Spike? Chew on your leaf if you understand me.", Raph spoke before Spike then chewed on his leaf.
"Yeah, I thought so.", Raph grinned.
"We understand you, too.", Shen spoke before she and Splinter arrived with the former slithering in.
"Seriously. You two gotta knock or something.", Raph commented.
"Raphael, let me tell you a story.", Splinter suggested.
"Sensei, I'm not in the mood for a story.", Raph spoke before Shen turned to Spike.
"Spike, chew on your leaf if you're in the mood for a story.", Shen spoke before Spike then chewed on his leaf.
"Very well. When I was a young man, I fell in love with a woman.", Splinter began.
"Oh, hey. Isn't that late?", Raph fibbed as he tried to get out of it only for Shen to sit Raph back in his seat.
"Sit.", Shen urged before Raph groaned before Shen spoke.
"Please. Continue, Yoshi.", Shen spoke before Splinter did so as it then showed a flashback of Splinter and Shen back when they were human before then showing Oroku Saki, who became Shredder with one lightning flash, and then earlier, still as Saki from before, he was seen talking down on Yoshi.
"Thank you, Shen. Now, as you know, her name was Tang Shen, and I was not the only one who loved her. There was another man competing for her attention: Oroku Saki.", Splinter spoke.
"Shredder...", Raph realized.
"One day, he insulted me in front of her. He called me many things.", Splinter spoke.
"What makes you believe that Hamato Yoshi has any interest in you, Shen? He does not care for you or your child. Only for his clan! For himself!", Saki shouted, angering Yoshi as lightning struck and rain began falling.
"I felt I could not let those insults go unanswered.", Splinter continued before Yoshi then gave a short, yet fierce roar as he then quickly brought Saki down to the ground, literally, making him growl as Saki then brushed his mouth with his fist and then started walking away as it then started snowing before then showing Shredder's attempt on Splinter's life ending in failure due to Shen's worthwhile sacrifice, although she survived as Splinter finished the story.
"I lost my temper and over time, our rivalry festered into hatred...until Shredder sought to finish me...and I nearly lost my beloved Tang Shen.", Splinter finished.
"But...but it...it wasn't your fault. Shredder insulted you. Y-You had no choice.", Raph responded.
"No choice? I could have chosen to ignore him. I could have chosen to let his words wash over me like a river over stone. But I let him anger me. It was I who made his words into weapons. That's the choice I made. What choice will you make?", Splinter asked before then walking out.
"I trust you will think carefully and make the right decision this time, Raphael.", Shen grinned to Raph out of faith before slithering out to follow Splinter.
Meanwhile, Donnie, April, Mona, Venus, Mikey, and Leo were still following the trail stealthily when they arrived at where it leads.
"Looks like we're here, guys.", April whispered.
"Are we really gonna do this without Raph?", Mikey asked.
"I'm not sure we have any other choice, Mikey.", Mona sighed.
"Besides, we can handle it.", Leo assured.
"I don't know. It just feels like something's missing.", Mikey Spike before Venus playfully slapped Mikey in the back of the head.
"Ow! Thanks.", Mikey grinned.
"Happy to help.", Venus grinned.
"Now, let's go.", Leo spoke before he, Donnie, Mikey, April, Mona, and Venus began climbing up the building and went down the stairs before eventually arriving at a sort of stronghold with crates and cobwebs full of...
"Spiders.", Mikey spoke nervously.
Later, as the group looked around carefully, Venus noticed a spider on the back of Mikey's head and then flicked it off of him.
"What was that?", Mikey puzzled.
"There was a spider on your head, but I flicked it off for you.", Venus responded, pointing to the spider on the ground crawling away.
"Aw. Thanks, Venus.", Mikey grinned.
"No problem.", Venus responded.
Meanwhile, the Kraang were speaking about the video Vic took with Thraxum along with the Kraang as well.
"Anything to report?", Thraxum asked.
"The image that is the image on the phone is pleasing to the eye of Kraang.", one Kraang droid spoke.
"This is true. Kraang is looking what is known in your terms as handsome in this phone.", the second Kraang droid spoke to Vic.
"Thraxum? Of course she'd be involved.", April whispered.
"Well, y-you guys drive a hard bargain. Tell you what, I'll drop it down to $500,000 and you can keep the phone.", Vic offered before the Kraang only turned his back on Vic, focused on the video.
"Okay, $400,000.", Vic spoke.
"Can someone explain why that greedy, pit-stained buffoon even needs to be here?", Thraxum puzzled.
"This is our fight with the creatures called the Turtles.", one Kraang droid spoke.
"The usefulness of this will be proven usefully with the more watching of this.", the second Kraang droid spoke.
"Also, this is being a good image of Kraang.", the third Kraang droid agreed as it showed him from when he was firing lasers from two guns.
"We should be showing the image of Kraang to Kraang.", the first Kraang droid suggested.
"Fine. We can learn more about how the Turtles fight, but after that, the video has to be destroyed. No one can know of our existence until the time is right.", Thraxum responded as Vic was suddenly getting moved toward Leo, Donnie, Mikey, April, Mona, and Venus.
"Stay calm, Vic.", Mona whispered.
"We're gonna get you out of here.", Leo added.
"But what about my phone?", Vic puzzled loudly only to get shushed by Leo.
"We'll get to that later. Right now, we need to get you out as soon as we can.", April whispered.
"Don't you shush me! I ain't leaving here without my phone!", Vic shouted in response, attracting both Thraxum and the Kraang's attention.
"Intruders! Stop them at once!", Thraxum shouted.
"Kraang heard the one called Thraxum! Stop the one that needs to be stopped! Stop!", Kraang urged as he and his fellow droids prepared to fire on Thraxum's command.
"Remind me why we have to rescue this guy.", Donnie commented.
"Yeah, I don't know who's worse. Raph or Vic.", April agreed.
Chapter 4
"FIRE!", Thraxum shouted before the Kraang began firing with Leo then charging in and then slashing his Ōdachi toward the ground, creating a portal just below the Kraang, causing them to fall inside the portal with Mikey distracting one of the droids before Donnie snuck up on it from behind and smashed it against the ground with his tech bo staff just as another droid ran in and prepared to get the jump on Donnie only for the portal to appear suddenly in front of the droid as it went through said portal before it vanished with both Leo and Venus' portals appearing in the ceiling before they then landed on the ground with Mikey, Venus, and Donnie moving in toward other droids as Vic noticed the phone on the ground and proceeded to get it. However, Mona accidentally moved the phone over to a different part of the area just below the Mutagen pipe, urging Vic to rush over and get it as the chair was even blasted at the bottom, prompting it to land down with the back of the chair on the ground before Vic eventually reached his phone, not knowing that a black widow spider was on it.
"Got it!", Vic grinned before both April and Mona went up to attack Thraxum only for her to stop them in midair with her telekinetic powers.
"Have you mutants learned nothing?", Thraxum asked just as the two mutants suddenly noticed Vic just below the Mutagen pipe ", which was accidentally shot by one of the lasers, setting it loose on Vic.
"Vic! Look out!", Mona shouted as April gasped, puzzling Thraxum.
However, it was too little, too late as the ooze was headed right for a surprised Vic, who screamed as the ooze landed on him, causing his voice to deepen. After that, Thraxum turned to the Kraang.
"Go find out what happened to him. Now.", Thraxum spoke.
Then, the Kraang went over to the dark spot before it was suddenly knocked back, prompting the pink alien to pop out and flee in terror as a roar occurred in the shadows.
"Uh, why do I have a feeling I'm not going to like that sound?", Venus asked.
Then, sure enough, the answer was made known as an apparent spider mutant jumped up with Mutagen-coated webs on his four additional legs from his back and his claws before it looked up and then roared.
"Oh, yeah. That's why.", Venus squeaked fearfully.
"Another day, mutants. Another day…", Thraxum spoke before teleporting away with her gauntlet.
"What the? She can teleport now?", Venus spoke in surprise.
"What did you do to me?! I'm hideous!", the spider monster formerly known as Vic shouted.
"Come on, you don't look that ugly.", April responded.
"Don't worry. The seven of us can handle him.", Leo assured.
"Okay, this might be a bad time to point that out, but you sent one of the seven of us home.", Donnie stated.
"And right now, I wish it was me.", Mikey added.
"This is your fault! I'm gonna rip your heads off!", Vic threatened.
"All right, guys. Prepare to dish out the mighty wrath of justice!", Leo grinned as he drew out his Ōdachi.
"Seriously, just tell 'get him'.", Donnie suggested.
"Get...", Leo began before Vic then whacked Leo toward one of the crates and then giving a smirk with Donnie leaping up with his tech bo staff in hand before Vic countered it with his additional legs and forced him back with Mikey then attacking and dodging Vic at the same time before Venus and Mona proceeded to attack with Venus teleporting Mona toward Vic, only to guard himself against her and force her back as well before Leo charged in toward Vic himself from behind only for him to see it coming and block the Ōdachi's strike from the front only to get poked from behind before Leo landed.
"Is that all you've got?!", Mikey grinned before Vic only proved him wrong by spitting out Venomous acid from his mouth.
Fortunately, it landed near the mutants, who were quick to avoid it as it dissolved through the ground.
"Apparently, he has acid, too.", April stated.
"The answer I was looking for was 'yes'!", Mikey commented.
Then, Vic began spitting out acid spit toward the mutants who narrowly dodged as many as they can before Spider Bytez then caught up to them and then spat out more acid spits before Donnie then used his Tech Bo Staff to launch Vic up in the air with the rocket boosters on each side, only for him to spit out acid two more times before then aiming to bite one of them as he fell only to bite into one of the cans before April shouted.
"Hope that meal wasn't too big for you.", April smirked before then launching another can toward him just to hit him before Vic spat out the cab and then chase after them, trying to get them with his legs, leading Leo, Donnie, Mikey, April, Mona, and Venus toward the center of the ring the acid made, causing them to fall through the first floor and land into a floor underneath it before Leo, April, and the others got up.
"We're no match for Spider Bytez.", Mikey spoke.
"'Spider Bytez'?", April puzzled as she and the others got up.
"Well, he's a spider and he bites, so, I thought...", Mikey began.
"We get it.", Leo interrupted before Spider Bytez then landed in the same room as them before then standing up, hoisting himself up with his additional legs, and then landing just near the mutants and then roaring at them before then stopping the mutants from getting away as they tried to flee.
"This bug is fast.", Leo commented.
"You're telling me?", Venus commented.
"Yeah, spiders aren't bugs. They...", Donnie began before April noticed what was going to happen.
"Donnie, look out!", April shouted before Spider Bytez grabbed April with one of his legs instead.
"April!", Donnie shouted.
"Let go of me!", April urged to Spider Bytez while banging her hands against his leg at least once before inadvertently giving off a green, glowing spark on him, making Spider Bytez yelp in pain before tossing April toward the crate with which April was then seemingly coerced back into her human form with her clothes back on and with some little damage, yet as she got back up, cradling her arms on her waist as she groaned.
"Hey! How dare you zap me?", Spider Bytez spoke.
"Are you okay, April?", Donnie asked.
"Yeah. You sure took a hit for us.", Mona added.
"Guys, I-I don't know what, but...something's happening to me.", April groaned.
"But what is it?", Leo puzzled.
Suddenly, just as April's skin turned the same color as Spider Bytez, she also grew four additional eyes similar to Spider Bytez as they appeared red around her two main eyes, which were still normal, surprising the mutants.
"Ask a silly question.", Mikey spoke.
"What is going on? I thought that I would only have one mutation.", April puzzled just before she not only grew four long Spider legs from her back with each one coated in a Mutagen-like web substance as well as her claws on her hands and feet, which tore through the shoes for the latter, also causing all her clothes to rip out in the process, but also grew two fangs in her mouth, causing her to groan in wonder as a result much to the mutants' shock and awe, even Spider Bytez's.
"Whoa...I changed into a spider. But how?", April puzzled.
"Call me crazy, but maybe your mutation is more then just a turtle. Maybe you have the ability to turn into any mutant that comes into skin contact with you.", Donnie guessed, surprising April.
"So, basically, I have shapeshifting powers? That's even cooler.", April grinned before Spider Bytez spoke up.
"Playtime's over, frogs!", Spider Bytez spoke up.
"Oh, come on. The fun's just getting started.", April responded before spewing acid from her mouth on Spider Bytes, mostly blinding him at the moment as it only pestered him before he got it off him and onto the ground.
"You'll regret that, sweet cheeks!", Spider Bytez threatened before Raph suddenly spoke up from above.
"Wow. I didn't think this guy couldn't get any uglier. More importantly, I didn't know April could even have more than one mutation like that.", Raph commented.
"Raph!", April, Donnie, Venus, and Mikey spoke in surprise before Raph then landed into the same level as Leo and the others.
"You came back.", Mona grinned.
"Well, I think you've been punished enough. Come and join us.", Leo spoke in a feigned grin, mostly in fear of Spider Bytez.
"Hey. It's the kung fu frog with the twigs.", Spider Bytez insulted.
"Hey, it's the stupid loudmouth who's about to get his butt kicked.", Raph responded.
Then, Spider Bytez retaliated by spewing out acid at Raph, only for him to dodge it with the spider mutant then spewing acid around the mutants to form another ring, causing the group to fall off toward another floor, this time leading to a floor where the main Mutagen tank resides with a pool of Mutagen below the floor just as April managed to weave a glowing Mutagen-colored web from her mouth and then stick onto the ceiling with her additional legs while everyone else landed on the floor with Mutagen just below them.
"Ha! Not that easy.", the spider girl smirked before Donnie noticed the pool of Mutagen just below them with the floor the only thing between the mutants and the Mutagen pool.
"Uh, let's not fall through this floor, okay?", Donnie suggested.
"Good point.", April agreed.
Meanwhile, Spider Bytez spoke to Raph above.
"Dance for me, frog!", Spider Bytez goaded before spitting out acid at him, prompting Raph to dodge the incoming acid, stepping back from it.
"Watch me turn your friends into frog fries. I'll even snap them like your twigs.", Spider Bytez spoke before spewing a web from below and then heading over to the lower floor only for Raph to catch up angrily while grabbing his Tonfas, which were dropped when he dodged the acid, and then falling through the hole toward Spider Bytes before then hitting him with a mystic smash toward a wall before Raph caught up with Spider Bytez roaring at him as April, who turned invisible, watched from above.
"Come on, Raph. Don't let him get to you this time.", April spoke to herself.
"Aw. Froggy thinks he can stop me. Ribbit, ribbit.", Spider Bytez mocked, making Raph growl before he only took a deep breath and then started ignoring the insults.
"What's that, tadpole? Are you too scared to leap off your lily pad and get the water knocked off ya?", Spider Bytez continues as Raph took a deep breath.
"Like a river over stone.", Raph spoke before smirking and then opening his eyes before then charging in and then dodging the legs and then kicking Spider Bytez twice before punching him three times and then kicking him back once, making Spider Bytez whimper a bit.
"Awesome, Raph. Keep going!", April urged before Spider Bytez then launched his legs toward Raph, who powered up with his Tonfas, producing a red, mystic force field, and then caught one of his legs, prompting him to spit out acid, only for Raph to move his leg toward the acid, damaging him again, but still with no sign of any melting.
"That's some kung fu, frog.", Spider Bytez spoke in surprise before April landed behind Raph as Leo, Donnie, Mikey, Mona, and Venus caught up.
"We're not Kung fu frogs. We're Ninja Turtles.", Raph corrected with a smirk.
"You tell him, Raph.", Mona grinned before she and Raph charged toward him as did April, Venus, Leo, Donnie, and Mikey only for Spider Bytez to strike with his legs again only for Leo and Mona to dodge it while Mikey and Venus rode on one of the legs and then kicked him back before he bounced upward while moving back before Donnie got out his tech bo staff, which was now a fist at the top end before he, April, and Raph both smashed Spider Bytez to the ground without even breaking it as April even shocked Spider Bytez while smashing him with her electro-shock.
After that, April picked up the phone.
"You know what? I don't think you'll need this anymore.", April commented before shocking the phone to the point that it powered down with the same electro-shock ability she used in Spider Bytez.
"Oh! My phone.", Spider Bytez exclaimed as the mutants then closed in around him.
"Anyone ever tell you you rely on too much technology?", April joked.
"You guys are gonna regret this.", Spider Bytez spoke before then taking his leave with his additional legs as the mutants then caught up outside only to notice Spider Bytez jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
"I know a nice black widow that'd be great for him.", Donnie spoke, making April growl at him, worrying Donnie.
"Uh, other than April, that is.", Donnie assured.
"Good.", April grinned a bit before then mutating back into her human form and then into her turtle form the similar way she first changed due to Draxum's vial.
"There. That's more like it. I mean, it was a bit cool to be a spider girl, but, eh.", April grinned.
"Okay. How much did I miss?", Raph puzzled.
"We'll explain on the way back.", Mona assured.
"Good work, Raph. I just want to say...", Raph began.
"You don't have to apologize.", Raph assured.
"I wasn't going to.", Leo responded.
"Oh. Good.", Raph grinned.
"Yeah, Raph. Not bad for a bloated water buffalo.", Mikey agreed before Raph then turned to Mona.
"Go for it, Raph.", Mona grinned before Raph smirked before then pouncing on Mikey.
"Okay! Raph is all-wise and powerful!", Mikey exclaimed.
"And?", Raph asked with a smirk.
"And he's better than me in every possible waaaaay!", Mikey shouted as he waved his arms, making April giggle a bit.
"So, do you think you can handle these new powers, April?", Donnie asked.
"Well, being human was really boring, anyway. That being said...,", April began with a grin before she then jumped up with a shout.
"I love being a turtle!", April shouted in midair with her right arm raised up as high as she could make it before the scene shifted to a comic book-sketch scene of sorts.
A/N: So, what did you think about this chapter? Pretty awesome, right? So, anyways, now I'm gonna start working on "Dragon Ball Super: Cauly" to get it ready for release on December 13th. It may take some time, but it will be worth it. Until next time. :)
