Munks Meet More Mutants
About This Story: While the Chipmunks are taking a spring break concert tour, they spend a few days in New York City, where they meet a group of their unlikely fans - the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Age-wise they are 11. I don't own any part of the Chipmunk franchise, just borrowing them from Nickelodeon, Janice Karman, & Ross Bagdasarian, their family, & their company. I also don't own any part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, just borrowing them also from Nickelodeon, as well as Mirage Studios (Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird & their entourage) who founded them.
About This Chapter: Rated PG, for mild action violence and mysterious elements
Pairings: Alvin/Brittany, Raph/Brittany, Raph/Alvin (Bromance)
11. Meeting With Destiny
"We're almost there at the warehouse rendezvous point." Donnie explained. "And for the last time, Alvin - no, you cannot drive the ShellRaiser!"
"Wow, I didn't even have to ask that time. I mean, you've only known me a few hours, but you have the same psychic ability as my brother Simon. How do you do it?" Alvin was impressed, but he still crossed his arms and sulked in one of the back seats.
"Years of practice with Mikey." Donnie chuckled.
Alvin leaned over to Donnie again, holding his hands together in a begging position, while making his eyes look as big as possible, while protruding his lower lip. "What if I just drive the Stealth Bike?"
Donnie thought for a moment. "I could at least show it to you, but we don't really have time right now to go anywhere on it. Maybe once you and Raph switch back to your own bodies, Raph could actually take you for a spin. The Stealth Bike is more his thing."
Alvin cheered up. "Cool! I'd like that!"
Within another minute, Leo pulled the ShellRaiser into a warehouse near the docks. After parking it and turning off the engine, he asked, "So, Donnie, what is the ETA for Casey driving the Sevilles and the others in the Party Wagon van?"
After checking an app on his T-phone, Donnie replied, "About ten to fifteen minutes, depending on traffic, and taking into consideration Casey's affinity for driving at higher velocities." He glanced over at Alvin. "Oh, that's probably enough time to show you the Stealth Bike, and maybe show you a few things around this warehouse. Bishop and the Utroms have done a lot of work."
After the brief tour, Alvin exclaimed, "Wow! Simon and Jeanette would love this! I mean, what little I could understand was cool. You'll have to give them a tour when they get here."
"Speaking of which..." Donnie motioned to the entrance of the warehouse as Casey pulled in with the Party Wagon, and Dave and the rest of the Seville family started filing out.
"Dave!" Alvin shouted excitedly from nearly thirty yards away, as he ran to greet his dad.
"Whoa, Alvin!" Leo intercepted him when he was ten yards away from the rest of his family. "Remember, you're in Raph's body now, so you're much bigger than usual. You'll knock them over if you plow into them with that kinda energy. So be careful."
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Sorry..." Alvin chuckled.
"It's OK, Alvin, I'll come to you." Dave laughed as he came over to Alvin to give him a hug. "Even though you are in a taller body for now, you're still my son."
Alvin smiled as he soaked up the hug. "Oh, David...you are still the best dad ever, even though I'm almost as tall as you. I wonder..." He straightened more upright, but kept his hold at his dad's mid-back level, which lifted Dave almost two feet off the ground.
"Whoa!" Dave cried out. "I never thought you'd actually be able to lift me like that."
Alvin set him back on the ground. "Sorry, Dave. I just wanted to know what it was like to be able to pick you up. I guess I should've given you more warning beforehand."
As Leo was enjoying watching the father-son reunion, he felt a small, yet still powerful kick to his shin. "Oww..."
"'Sup, Leo?" Said a chipmunk voice at his feet.
Leo laughed as he stooped down. "Raph? Look at you! You're actually kinda cute like that."
Raph rolled his eyes as Mikey rushed to look at him. "Oh, Raphie! You are so cute! I just wanna hold you and cuddle you!" Much to Raph's disgust, Mikey picked him up and rocked him like an infant.
"Mikey...I swear I will go 'rabid squirrel' on you if you don't put me down right now!" Raph growled at his little brother.
Mikey squeaked out a small scream as he dropped Raph and withdrew to hide behind Leo. "No squirrelanoids!"
Donnie chuckled as he knelt beside Raph. "If it's any consolation, Raph, I still find you just as feisty and formidable as you were during the years I was taller than you." He held out his right fist so that Raph could bump it with his fist. "Whoa...and even though your hand is a lot smaller than mine now, you still pack quite a punch."
Raph smiled up at him. "Donnie, you're probably the only brother who won't try to physically take advantage of me in this smaller size - except for the fact that you're looking at me like you want to use me as a rodent test subject in some science experiment."
Donnie laughed. "Oh, you know I don't believe in using rodent test subjects, since our father raised me better than that. Come to think of it, mostly it's because we were raised by a rodent."
Simon cut in, "Now, Donnie, you're almost making me regret all the times I've experimented on Alvin - you know, almost."
Donnie chuckled. "What fun are brothers if you don't get to do experiments on them, anyway?"
Alvin was right behind them, with Theodore riding on his left shoulder and Eleanor riding on his right. Jeanette was also standing on his left foot while holding onto the hole in his jeans at knee-level, while Brittany rode on his right leg in the same manner. "And now it's my turn to 'experiment' on you! I'm trying to see if I can carry all six of you at once. Come on, Simon! I'm sure I can fit you on the back of my neck. Then I can try carrying Raph in my arms."
"Ohhh..." Simon groaned, but let Alvin pick him up to place him astride the back of his neck.
"Now, where is Raph?" Alvin looked around.
"Right in front of you. Down here." Raph sighed. "I'd probably want to do the same thing, so I might as well surrender. But just remember - this is your rockstar body, and the public wants to see your beautiful face..."
Alvin cocked his head to the right side as he picked up Raph is his chipmunk form. Simon held onto Eleanor so she wouldn't slip off from her perch on Alvin's shoulder. Alvin blinked as he lifted and lowered his arms to study Raph from every angle. "Huh...that's what the top of my head looks like... Oh, that's what I look like from the back... That's what my butt looks like..."
Raph blinked as he studied Alvin in his Ninja Turtle form. "It's so weird to see up my nose." He called over to his brother, "Uh, Leo, before this gets any more awkward - when is Bishop supposed to meet us?"
"At this very moment." A voice could be heard some thirty yards away as a figure stepped out from the shadows. He was wearing dark sunglasses, a business suit and tie under an open black trench coat, and a black fedora. Members of both families gasped and hushed at his stealthy entrance.
Leo stepped forward and cleared his throat. "Bishop, thank you for meeting with us on such a short notice. Sorry for any inconvenience." He turned to Dave and the chipmunk children. "Dave, Chipmunks, Chipettes, this is our friend and ally, Agent John Bishop." He looked back toward Bishop. "And, Bishop, these are our new friends, Dave Seville, and the Chip - "
Bishop interrupted him, "It is no inconvenience to me at all, Leonardo. In fact, it is more like destiny. I know who they are. I remember Dave, Simon, Alvin, Theodore, Jeanette, Brittany, and Eleanor like it was yesterday." He smiled at each one with the corresponding name. "But they may not remember me. The children have grown since I last saw them some seven to nine years ago. According to our records, the children should be eleven years and two weeks old by now."
Dave's and the chipmunks' jaws all dropped upon hearing this. Alvin even almost dropped Raph in his chipmunk form.
"Please, come with me - all of you." Bishop bade everyone to follow him into another part of the warehouse. He stopped at something that looked like a dusty breaker box on one of the columns of the wall. Soon the others could see that he was pressing buttons on a keypad. The sounds he made entering the code sounded like a brief jingle for "heroes in a half-shell", but combined with "ting-tang walla-walla bing-bang". As a panel opened from out of nowhere on the wall, Bishop led them all into a large elevator cab. It was hard to tell at first, but it seemed as though they were going down.
Alvin set the other chipmunk children gently on the ground of the elevator cab, letting them walk the rest of the way. He was growing slightly more nervous by the minute, and wasn't sure he could keep a secure hold on all of them.
Mikey whispered over to Alvin, "Dudes, is he taking us to see the Oompah-Loompahs working in the chocolate factory in the basement?" A quick kick to the shin from Raph in the chipmunk form quieted him with a slight yelp.
It seemed like five whole minutes later before the elevator doors opened, and Bishop led the group down a large open hallway. He explained as they walked, rather nonchalantly, "Forgive me if I lose my emotional bearings, but for nine years I have foreseen this day coming. When this morning arrived, I did not know at the time that this was to be that day."
Brittany shrugged and said over to Raph, "This Bishop guy's 'loss of his emotional bearings' make Simon look bipolar. And it makes Alvin and me look even more psychotic!"
Raph chuckled, "I'm right up there with ya, sister."
Bishop led them into a darkish room with a desk and a white presentation screen at one end of it. It seemed like a conference room or classroom of some kind.
A woman sitting at the desk stood up when she saw the group enter. She wore a khaki button-up shirt and a pencil skirt that was slightly darker, along with plain dark brown shoes. Her hair that was mostly gray was pulled into a French twist. Despite her militaristic dress, she smiled at them and had a warm, welcoming look in her hazel eyes.
Alvin started rubbing the back of his neck nervously. "I feel like I'm in trouble, and that I've been sent to the principal's office." He whispered over to Donnie.
"Welcome, visitors!" The woman greeted them. "Please have a seat." She motioned behind the group as a spotlight illuminated a large, sectional couch arranged in the shape of a horseshoe.
Another girl was behind the couch, beckoning them to sit. She had chin-length, brown hair in a bob with a pink barrette on the left side, black square-framed glasses, a pink peasant-top blouse, and a knee-length pleated plaid skirt that was mostly dark blue, with some purple and pink stripes. Her socks were white knee-highs, and her shoes were black Mary Janes. "Right here would be the most comfortable place to sit. I'll be right back with refreshments."
"Thank you, Irma." Bishop nodded to the girl as she disappeared.
As the Turtles and the Sevilles took their seats on the couch, Jeanette kept looking questioningly after that girl. "Now, she looks very familiar. Where have I seen her before?"
As Eleanor took a seat next to her, she giggled, "Probably every day, when you look in the mirror."
"Especially when you borrow my clothes." Brittany added with another giggle. "I'll say she has great style."
Other softer spotlights came on, illuminating various niches with framed posters on the wall. Each niche contained various Chipmunks and Chipettes memorabilia through the years.
Theodore blinked from sitting in Dave's lap. "Wow, I never would've pegged him as our fan."
Once everyone was situated, Bishop looked at the older woman. "While our guests await Irma's refreshments, you may get started, Ms Campbell. I think they are ready for you to play the video feed."
A/N: In the Nickelodeon TMNT cartoon, when Bishop, Ms Campbell, and Irma are introduced, they all have (code)names of chess pieces (Bishop, Rook, Pawn, etc). I kept the Ms Campbell and Irma names, so they would sound more human and less "Kraang-y". I suppose the biggest difference between the Kraang and the Utrom would be that the Utrom have hearts inside their brains, or a better understanding of human(ish) emotions. It's in an episode of the 2k3 TMNT cartoon where Bishop's first name is John. The "Oompah-Loompahs" mentioned in the elevator are from the Roald Dahl book "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory", made into a movie "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory" (starring Gene Wilder in 1971, and Johnny Depp in the remake in 2005).
Some years ago, as my sister and were watching "The Chipmunk Adventure", we noticed that Brittany and Eleanor look like Blossom and Bubbles respectively from "Power Puff Girls". But we said that Jeanette looks nothing like Buttercup, she actually looks more like a younger version of Irma from the TMNT cartoon of the 80s and 90s. Or was Irma's design inspired by Jeanette? What came first, the Chipette or the egg-head? Lol!
