The Evil Inside
Author's Note
Oh my gosh, it's been six months! I am so sorry I haven't updated in so long. I've just had so many tests and so much homework, I haven't had time. And in my defence I wrote this chapter a few days ago but I couldn't update because we had no internet. But I've finally updated and I know it's a bit shorter than usual but it's something right? Anyway enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 4: What if?
Mikey's POV
*"Guys … I remember … everything."*
"I started off in a black room, with one light in the middle of it. Then that shadow being Mikey was talking about stepped out of the darkness. Only this creature clearly had white fangs and red eyes. It attacked me but I managed to block it. It started to speak to me and it's voice sounded as though a thousand were speaking at once. Anyway, I asked him questions and it said that it was darkness, a literal shadow, it's name was Demon and that the reason it was doing this was for fun. I asked it why and he told me that it was from the spiritual plane and it was evil."
"So we now know that it is a spirit." Donnie stated.
"Right." Leo replied. " It then told me that this was just the beginning of a nightmare and then it turned into a giant blue dragon and dove into me. After that, it's all black apart from when I was speaking to you guys and after I woke up."
"But, how did you know to break the sword handles?" I asked and Leo turned to me.
"Well, when I was speaking to you during the fight, my soul self-was conscious as it fought Demon. But because it was inside me, I could hear it's thoughts and meaning I could hear it's weaknesses, which I then told you guys about."
After we continued to ask questions, we each split off to different places. Leo went to Sensei's room to meditate, Raph went to the dojo to use his punching bag, Donnie went into his lab to do … whatever he does in there and I went into the living room to play video games.

Leo's POV
'I need to meditate on these recent issues.' Was my excuse for leaving the room, but in truth, I would've rather talked about what's happening instead. However, everyone else had other plans, so I decided to do the same.
I thought that the best way for me to get into a deep trance was to mediate in Splinter's room, as previously done.
I sat down, relaxed and closed my eyes. Not long after, I was in a deep meditative trance.
I don't get it, why are we the ones with all these problems? I mean I get it with the Shredder, Purple Dragons, and Krang. But now we're going into battle against a spirit! We can't fight a demon … I can't fight a demon. How can I protect my brothers if I'm used against them? I'm not strong enough. Demon was able to win our fight easily. I can't let that happen again, I don't want to see the fear in my brother's eyes; fear of me. But I can't protect them … I'm not strong enough.

Raph's POV
When we all split off, I went straight to the dojo and started taking out my anger on my punching bag. Seriously, though, I would've well preferred to talk about what was going on but everyone else had other plans and since Spike's been gone, I've got no one else to talk to.
I took out all my frustrations on my punching back. A punch for every problem.
-Punch- Stupid Demon.
-Punch- Stupid visions.
-Punch- Stupid controlling crap.
-Punch- Stupid spirit.
I could've killed him. I let Demon control me and I almost beat Mikey to death, while Leo was almost stabbed. It doesn't help that my anger probably intensified his power. Great! Me and my stupid anger … again! Sensei and the others are right, I do need to learn to control my anger. One day I might get too angry and … hurt them.

Donnie's POV
"Hey, Timothy." I greeted as the blob of acid turned towards me. "A lot of stuff has been going on." He looked at me curiously.
"Basically, there is this 'Demon' creature going around controlling us to use us against each other." I said bluntly, frankly, I was just sick of this whole situation.
"I don't know who it's gonna choose next, there doesn't seem to be a pattern. But I know it's gonna be either me or Mikey. And another problem, no one remembers what happens after. The only one who has so far is Leo, Raph hasn't remembered yet. But the only bit Leo has remembered is his subconscious battle with Demon and when he told us what to do to get rid of it." Timothy was now listening intently to what I was saying.
"Timothy. I don't know what to do. There's no scientific way to defeat Demon and that's the only way I know how. It doesn't even make sense on how it got here, the only way spirits like him can leave the spirit plane is if someone releases them."
"Obviously at the time, you know what's going on but you don't remember what happened until after. So … I wonder … what does it feel like to be under it's control."

Mikey's POV
I just stared at the TV screen, showing my failure in the video game. The words 'GAME OVER' blinking rapidly. I can't believe that my brothers don't want to talk about what's going on. We should be coming up with a plan, not going our separate ways. How are we supposed to fight Demon if we don't have a clue how? He's just so powerful. The creature can change our appearance for God's sake.
Appearance. That was the worst part for me.
The grey skin and those red eyes staring back at you; eyes that don't belong to the owner. I don't wanna see my bros like that. And I hope out of all things that I get picked before Donnie. That way I'll have a chance to stop him and maybe save Donnie from going through that experience.
But what will happen if I do let that creature in, though? What would it do? And what if it never comes out, if neither me or my brothers beat it? What if this time … it wins?

? POV
"I don't know how Demon escaped the spirit plane, but my guess is he did not do it alone. But who helped him?"
"I'm sure you'll find out soon enough, my-"
"Yes, but those poor turtles are suffering because of that spirit, we need to do something to help them."
"I want to help too, but you know we can't interfere with history. Only once the turtles have completed their actions that will affect whether they succeed or fail, can we interfere."
"But-".
"You know the rules, Salvador. We cannot interfere until certain actions have been made."
"Well, we can't just sit here, father, and watch as the turtle creatures could well be making their way to their deaths."
"You have a kind and caring soul, my son, but I am the general and it is my job to enforce the laws. But if it makes you feel better, as soon as anyone is able to go down to earth, I will send you first."
"Thank you, father."
"You welcome, my son."
