Another Kraang plot to shut down. Only this time, it'll be different. You know why? Because every single member of the Razing Rogues are here with us. This is pretty much their first real mission. My Charizard, Kakoa, has his eyes in the sky right now, keeping his distance from the TCRI building.

"Anything happening yet, Kakoa?" I ask him from afar. "Negative. Still nothing." He says.

"This game is awesome. The combat is so realistic." Michelangelo says, talking about the game he was playing. Raphael stands in front of him. "You want me to make it more realistic?" He says.

Phoenix puts a hand on his shoulder and shakes his head. It took me a while to figure out that every member of the Razing Rogues has their own unique personality.

Phoenix is the bruiser, but he's more level headed than Raphael. Cyrus is the only female, who keeps everyone's spirits up. Kingsley's like the wise elder. Flareon, he's a bit of a goofball, much like Michelangelo, but he shows enemies that small doesn't mean weak. Kakoa is the eye in the sky. Aries is the brave type. Incineroar is the modest leader.

Kakoa has returned to solid ground. "Okay, good news first." I tell Kakoa. "Something called a scouting ship is coming through a portal tonight." He reports. "So we all have to stay alert." Leonardo points out, looking at Michelangelo. I got this.

"Forgive me, Michelangelo." I say. "Forgive you for wh- Hey!" I use my telekinesis to take the phone from him. "Come on, man, give it back!" Michelangelo begs. "Promise me you'll pay attention." I say to him with a faint smile. "I promi-"

"Don't make a promise if you're not gonna keep it." I interrupt him. "No, I'm serious, dude, I promise." He tells me. "Okay." I give him his phone back, and the good boy he is, he puts it away.

A familiar voice reaches my ears. "How submissive." I turn my head, and up on the water tower is Karai and her Liepard, Sasha. The two jump down to meet us. "Ah, we meet again. But not the best time." I reprimand her. She just takes out her tanto knife and charges towards Leonardo, while Sasha stands in front of me and the Razing Rogues.

"You do realize that you're outnumbered one to eight, right?" I ask her. "Oh, I know. But you don't seem to have your Luxray this time, so beating you think oblivion shouldn't be a problem." She lunges for us, her tail glowing. "Bad choice of moves." Phoenix says, his fist turning white. Right when Sasha was underneath Phoenix, he uses a powerful Sky Uppercut, sending the Liepard into the air. Kakoa takes in a breath, and exhales a Flamethrower. Apparently, she dodges it with a twist and lands on her feet.

"Hey, birdman!" Karai shouts to Phoenix, manifesting her tanto. Phoenix tilts his head to one side. "You talkin' to me?" He asks her, taking a step forward. "Yeah, I'm talking to you! You're a Fire and Fighting type, aren't you. Show me what you got." She challenges.

"With pleasure," He says, cracking his knuckles and his neck. Karai charges for Phoenix, and vice versa. Her tanto collides with Phoenix's arm, but it stays intact instead of getting cut. And it turns out that Phoenix is stronger than Karai. She's having trouble keeping herself steady. "You may be a kunoichi, but I can memorize every martial art there's ever been. I am the definition of martial artist!"

Phoenix knocks Karai's tanto out of her hands and spin kicks her right smack dab in the hips. "Oh, snap!" I say, snapping my fingers. Phoenix dusts his shoulder off. Karai gets back up. "Impressive. You're not as weak as I thought."

I hear barks and hisses behind me. I turn to see Aries and Sasha standing off against each other. Sasha's trying to be intimidating, but Aries' barks are scaring her, I can tell. One last bark echoes in the air, and Sasha cowers in fear, retreating to Karai. "Sometimes you can't get good help these days." She says, looking at her Liepard in disappointment. Sasha just meows. "I tried." She purrs.

Suddenly, thunder claps near TCRI. A little scared, I sulk behind Raphael. The Razing Rogues just watch. A jellyfish like ship flies out. "Oh my dog, that must be the scouting ship." Kakoa says. "Uh, guys, I think I need to change my shell..." Michelangelo says.

"Tell me you flaming fools have a plan on fighting that thing." Sasha says. "We do. I think we should–"

The ship fires a laser at us. "Run!" Leonardo says as we all run from the laser. We all jump down to ground level. Kakoa's mouth starts to glow orange, about to use Fire Blast. "Not yet." I tell him. He grunts as the glow in his mouth dies down. But now I can't find the stealth ship. "Where'd it go?"

"Marcel!"

I hear Leonardo calling my name. I turn to Incineroar. "You go. We'll think of something." He says. I come out of hiding and throw a medium sized rock at the stealth ship. Normally, when I use Smack Down, the Rock is bigger, roughly the size of my paw. And I have big paws.

The stealth ship fires it's laser at me, but it reflects off of the metal plate in my head and hits itself. I take the time while it's distracted to escape before the police arrive on the scene.

I'm thinking about how to stop an invisible ship, but an Aura Sphere narrowly misses my head. "Sorry!" Cobalt says as the Aura Sphere hits the wall. "I was aiming for, whatever that thing is." He points to the punch dummy. "It's okay. I've been watching you train, and I gotta say, I'm impressed."

"Thank you. Now, I heard that you're having trouble with a Kraang stealth ship?" He asks me. "Yes. You know about it?"

"I do. I might be able to read its aura. But the bigger problem is that they're working to awaken a really dangerous Pokémon, but I forget what it is."

"Wait a second. The Kraang are working to unleash a dangerous Pokémon?"

"Yes, but I've been trying to figure out what Pokémon it could possibly be. There are a lot of dangerous Pokémon in the world. But if it's a specific one, then it could very well wipe out all of humanity."

I know I had a score to settle with the Kraang when they boys went to the surface for the first time, but to be honest, I have more than one score to settle. They're the reason I mutated, after I met a Pokémon I shouldn't have trusted. It's a very complicated story. Although, to be fair, I'm glad I mutated, but when I was my young age, I was freaked out when my fur color changed.

It took me years to keep my new fire powers under control back then. I rarely use my torch anymore, mostly because, well, I don't need a weapon, like the boys do, to win a battle. I have multiple ways of defending myself.

"Hello? Marcel? You in there?" Raphael's knocking on the metal plate in my head. I swat the hand away, realizing that I was spacing out. "D'uh, sorry. Anyway, do you have any idea what this dangerous Pokémon is?" I ask Cobalt.

"Um... It has enormous black claws, short legs, the biggest pair of wings I've ever seen, with the tail looking similar, blue eyes, and gray fur around its neck, that's all I know." He explains. This is a very interesting description.

"Well, if it has wings, then it's definitely a Flying type." Donatello summarizes. "I bumped into a talking Arbok that supposedly bit you the other day. He was asking me where you were, and I was all like 'I ain't tellin' you!'" Cobalt tells me.

"If he wants to bite me again, he don't know what he's up against." I tell him. "Actually, and this should be quite helpful, during a monologue, he said he works for the Kraang, and sometimes he's with this Shredder fellow."

"Is that so?"

"Yup. Poison types aren't too bright, I gotta say."

"Do you have any idea where he is now?"

Donatello brought his radar beacons that'll give them a signal once the stealth ship comes nearby. Cobalt and I found the Arbok that works for the Kraang. "So, you finally showed up." It says. He trails on the 'S' for a second.

"Yeah, and we know that you work for the Shredder and the Kraang." Cobalt says. The Arbok's eyes widen. "Who told you that?!" He asks us. "You were monologuing. You told me, and I told him."

"Me and my mouth. Well, I'm not telling you anything. Especially about the ultimate Pokémon the Kraang are planning on unleashing."

I pin the snake down. "You will tell us something helpful. Tell us what they're up to, you slithering serpent!" I hiss in his face. "My name is Zeke. And if you want me to talk, you're gonna have to make me."

I glance at Cobalt with a knowing smirk. "Oh, well get you to talk."

Zeke chuckles like he doesn't believe us. "I would love to see you try."

Cobalt and I meet up with the boys when I'm standing on top of the Shellraiser, interrogating Zeke. "So? You jusst bring me to another random rooftop to do what?" Zeke asks.

"This," I hold Zeke by the tail so he's dangling over the edge. It would be a pretty tragic death. With how fast we're going, and the enormous wheels on this, he's gonna get run over. Zeke yelps in fear as he tries to squirm out of my hand. "The more you squirm, the more you'll slip!" I tell him.

He stops squirming after hearing what I told him. But he was still breathing heavily in fear. "Now, tell us what they're up to." Cobalt says to Zeke's face. "You gotta try harder than this."

"Okay, you asked for it." In a split second, I let go of Zeke, jerking him downward, then grab him again. He yelps again. "Say something!"

"I don't know!"

"Your call," I get ready to drop him when he talks again. "No, no, no, no, I swear, I don't know! They don't tell me everything! Nobody does! But I do know this," he twitches his tail, gesturing me to come closer. "I won't bite you this time, I swear."

I didn't lean in very far. "The Kraang are planning to unleash the Destruction Pokémon, Yveltal. They're awakening it in hopes they can wipe out all of humanity. I don't know how they're gonna pull it off."

"You're not lying to us, are you?" I ask him suspiciously. "Cause I'll drop you if you are."

"No. I'm being serious."

I look at Cobalt. "Now, please, I'm too mesmerizing to die! I don't wanna be roadkill!" Zeke begs. I roll my eyes. "You won't be. But if we find out that you're lying to us, I will hunt you down and kill you myself. Got it?"

We're in the subway now, waiting for Leonardo. He went out to save Karai, for some reason. "Okay." Zeke says, frantically nodding. "You won't be sorry."

"Dude, she'll see all our gear!"

"Yeah, 'cause if Shredder finds out you have an ice cream lamp, it is over."

Zeke, Cobalt and I roll our eyes. But then Zeke wraps himself around my arm and gets into my face. "I am the same Arbok that bit you the other day. And I don't regret biting you. And I will gladly do it again if you ever coerce me into talking again."

"I won't coerce you if you talk the first time I tell you. I'm a menace when I'm angry. And you, Zeke, do not want to see me angry. And I can smell a lie from a mile away." I hop down from the roof of the Shellraiser.

"Aren't you already a menace as it is?"

"In a way, yes. However, I don't want to kill you if you're lying to us. But I will if I absolutely have to. Do I make myself clear?"

"As clear as a bell."

"Put him down." Karai's stern voice demands. "Give me a reason why I should. Unless you really need him for something."

"Put him down or the deal's off." She says, holding out her hand. I give her a confused look. "What deal?" I ask her. "She'll get us a shoulder-fired missile launcher, and she'll team up with us in return." Leonardo explains from inside the Shellraiser.

"As if. The Razing Rogues and I can just destroy the Kraang ship ourselves. We won't be needing some mythical weapon from the Shredder. Key words, from the Shredder!"

"I know it sounds hard to believe, but you gotta trust me this time!" Karai argues. "Why in the world would I do a preposterous thing like that after you threatened to kill Ivan?" I ask her in disbelief.

Karai just glares at me, trying not to lose her temper. I glare back, growling. "Um, if I can have a say, we don't really have time for arguing. We have a Kraang stealth ship to take down. And the more time you two spend arguing, the less time we'll have stopping the Kraang ship." Cobalt says. He has a point.

I slump in defeat, dropping Zeke on the floor. "Fine. But I still don't trust you."

"You don't have to trust me. After all, I did risk my life to save yours." She says. "I was too caught up interrogating Zeke to notice that, so how would I know?"

"Allow me to silence him for you." Zeke says. He lunges for me, heading straight for my right eye. I have no idea how or why, but he pretty much scratches my eye, and I have to cover it, roaring in pain. He then does the same thing to my left eye, and now I'm blinded, covering both of my scarred eyes.

When my eyes don't hurt so much anymore, I uncover one eye. Zeke and Karai are gone. Raphael is standing by my side. "Are you okay?" He asks me, sounding desperate. "I'm good. I think. Arbok have a poisonous bite. Let's just get back to the lair and pray that I won't go blind."

We're back at the lair. Right now, Donatello is treating my eyes. The scars on each eye look exactly the same. They just look like two isosceles triangles on both eyelids. But snakes don't look like this!

"You should be fine. At least he didn't really bite you."

"No, but it sure felt like he did."

"They're just scrapes from the teeth." Donatello reassures, rubbing my head. "Okay, if you say so. It shouldn't affect my eyesight, then."

I walk out of Donatello's lab casually. "I don't know, bud. I think your scars make you look more intimidating." Leonardo admits. "I'm already intimidating. Why be... Intimidating-er...?" I ask him. He just laughs. "You're funny."

"I try."

Just so he knows that I have his back, I place my paw on top of his hand. He smiles. I smile back.

The boys are on top of a shipment container. The Razing Rogues and I are crouched down, hidden. They did notice my new scars. They thought the same thing Leonardo dud, that it made me look more intimidating. But then I see something that ruffles my fur.

Out of the car that was nearby, some military guy and two Foot ninjas are standing there. Oh, is that Ivan Steranko? We haven't seen each other in a long time, but to be honest, we never really got along well.

The electric grenade thing misses Shredder and shocks the military guy and the Foot ninjas. "It should be coming any second now." Aries says. Right on cue, the stealth ship appears and fires it's laser at us. We dodge it. Kakoa's mouth glows again. He looks at me. "Go for it." I tell him. A large ball of fire blasts out of his mouth and hits the stealth ship. Critical hit!

A smaller blue flame is only inches from Kingsley's mouth. He blows on it, aiming for the stealth ship. That was Sacred Fire. Aries, Cyrus, Flareon, and I take turns using Fire Blast. And down the stealth ship went, and right into Shredder. Both of them are in the water now.

"Let's go." I order as we all make our way back to the city.

At last, we make it back to the main parts of the city. The Razing Rogues went their separate ways. But I still can't get over what Zeke did to me. He just gave me soy new scars. Like I don't have enough scars already.

"Are you seriously comparing what I am going through to the time you found out leprechauns aren't real?"

"Leprechauns aren't real?"

I groan and shake my head. The stupid venom must be taking effect. "Are you okay?" Cobalt asks me as I'm staring at the night sky. "I'm just worried about myself. I mean, Zeke bit me in both eyes. I don't need any more scars!"

Two hands are placed on my shoulders. And Leonardo sets his head down. "You should remember those scars. They make you who you are." He says. "Okay, but the worst case scenario is that the poison, er, venom, starts kicking in. It's like being bit by an Egyptian Cobra."

"I don't know if I'd take it that far," Donatello says. "Their bites contain a neurotoxin."

His brothers look at him, confused. "Neuro, brain, toxin." I explain. "Meaning I might not be able to think straight. What if I lose control?"

"I won't let that happen." Raphael says. "It takes more than a snake bite to stop you."

"I know it does, Raphael. The next time I see Zeke, he'll be sorry he gave me these scars."

I jump up to the nearest water tower, overlooking the city. "Because I am Marcellos. No snake bite is gonna hold me back."

I've been having early Throwback Thursday's. And I've been listening to old songs from the Lion Guard. Some of them are even stuck my head now. Just little, short songs that I can make good use of.

Anyway, when I returned to my TMNT phase last year, I had a very creative mind. I had so many ideas. One of them being an Yveltal summoned by the Kraang.

When I first liked the show, when I was about eight, my little imaginary character basically looked like a Golem (the Pokémon Golem) with a tiger's head, paws, feet, and stubby tail, something like that. Similar name, but I can't think if what it's real name was. Somewhere along the line of Marcel.

So I derived that to name the tiger OC you guys know as of today. And that is how Marcel was created, I guess XD. You'll know more about the whole Yveltal thing in the next episode/chapter.
