Flash-back: ~~~
Welp... Enjoy :D
Fourth week, day twenty-three, 1:00 P.M:
"Are you ready?" Cree asked the red wearing turtle. Raphael nodded and sat down in front of her. Cree lifted her hand to each side of Raphael's head and they started to glow a bright gray-ish light.
Cree could still remember the first time she did just this that Raphael freaked out like a two-yer-old afraid of the dark.
"what the—what do yah think ya're doing!? Trying tah brainwash like mah brother!? 'cus I won't allow it!" Raphael said with a scowl on his face as he took out both his sais in case he needed to attack. Seeing his reaction made Cree burst a laughter she herself hadn't heard in years. When she finally caught her breath she said between gasps and giggles "jaja…no, none of that. Im not trying to brainwash… gasp… you, I'm only helping you concentrate… jajaja… into the meditation. With my magic we'll be able to teleport our minds to the astral plane."
"Fine and stop laughing it wasn't funny!" he said. His face was turning the same color as his mask. Cree smile widely and said :of course it wasn't funny… it was hilarious!" and she went into another fit of giggles.
Getting back to the present Cree and Raphael were already in the astral plane. They were both walking on tiles that were floating in the air. They had already did the training they had to do so they both chose to just walk around the place for a little while. "So how come I haven't seen none of my brothers training here?" Raphael asks after a while. Cree turn to him and said "because you're the only one that has been to this place. Well. Other than me of course"
"But why?" he insists.
The brunette girl hesitated a bit she did quite know how to tell the hot headed turtle that it was because he was the most thick-headed of his brother without offending him. "We'll don't get offended but since you the most thick-headed of your brothers I brought you to this place where you can actually concentrate without interruptions. It isn't exactly the safest place to be but—" Cree suddenly stopped talking as her eyes grew wide. Face-palming herself she said aloud "Duh why didn't I think about this place before!?" and began to run through the floorless tiles. She looks from left to right as she ran. Raphael followed her and quickly asked "Why are yah running?"
"Because I'm stupid for not thinking of this place before this whole thing started!" she answered him but the forest green turtle was still confused. "What this place got tah do with anythin'?" he asked. Cree turned her head towards him as she stopped abruptly. Raphael almost crashed onto her if it hadn't been for his ninja skills. "Let's just say… that If my hunch is right, I might be able to end all this madness" she said to him and lifted her hand to put it in front of his forehead and her hand began to glow the same gray-ish light. "But I'm afraid you can't come with me Raphael…" she said as he quickly vanished into thin air.
I just hope this can work…
Elsewhere just minutes before, thanks to the remote –that was also a tracker- the Shredder had given Michelangelo, he was able to locate his target faster and was now headed their way.
Now dressed with a black mask, skin tight long sleeved shirt with "the foot" logo on it, he also had a shoulder plate that also held the sword on his back, some wrist blades that were similar to Shredder's, a weapons belt that carried his nunchakus and other types of small weapons, knee protectors which under that he wears red bandages that were also cover in his black and red combat boots. All black and some red, basically he looked like an elite foot soldier.
It took him some time but he finally found where the turtles and the girl were staying at. Michelangelo quickly turned the motorcycle off and got off. Heading towards the white wooded house the sea green turtle suddenly felt a wave of dizziness hit him. After a second the dizziness went away and he started for the house again. Almost nearing the front door another wave hit him but this time it was stronger, Michelangelo almost fell to his knees this time; but as soon the dizziness had come it went away. He stood for a few minutes in front of the door waiting to see if it would happen again. When saw that nothing had happened Michelangelo continued his mission he had been given by his master.
Carefully opening the door the terrapin went inside making sure he didn't make a sound. He went throughout the house seeing if he could find someone but Michelangelo was beginning to think no one was home. That was until he heard a set of footsteps thumping to where he was. He quickly hid in a closet that was to his left and waited to see if it was one of the turtles. Unfortunately for him it wasn't. What came through the door was an almost seven feet tall alligator with a striped shirt and green cargo pants. Narrowing his eyes the alligator sniffed the air as if he knew something was amiss. Michelangelo quickly grabbed a dagger from one of the many pockets he had on his belt and took a battle stance in case he needed to attack.
"Are yah sure it's in 'ere? I dun' see notin'!" asked the reptile, looking at where he came from. "I'm positive. Otherwise I would have not sent you here Jet" another reptile -this one with dark brown hair- said as he entered the room. "Well maybe yah left it in the closet?" Jet said as he neared the closed Michelangelo was in.
A bead of sweat crossed down his face as the sea green turtle was mere inches in being discovered.
'So much for my stealth plan… If get discovered now…'
Just as Jet was about to open the door Kovu said "wait! I remember, I left if in the kitchen" and turned to leave for said place. Jet with a disapproving look on his face said in a low whisper "that boy will one day leave his behind and won't even notice…" and went off to continue whatever he had been doing.
Michelangelo let out a small sigh out relief and put away the dagger in his left pocket. He almost had gotten caught by the enemy. Looking around to see if anyone else was there, Michelangelo slowly and stealthily got out of the closet and continued to look for his target.
Upon looking in every room he could find the sea green turtle had yet to find his targets. Michelangelo kept looking until he found another door to what he assumed was a room but was surprised to see that it wasn't! This one had stairs. Going down the stairs the terrapin found himself in some sort of dojo. 'They have an underground dojo? No wonder I didn't find anybody upstairs' he thought. As soon as he entered Michelangelo saw two of his targets just sitting there meditating… or something like that. Moving close the terrapin felt the wave of dizziness he had before. At least this time wasn't strong so he proceeded to what he was about to do.
Taking the dagger out Michelangelo slowly approached the unsuspecting red-wearing turtle. Unfortunately for him as he was closed enough to strike the meditating turtle suddenly sprung up ward and yelled "Hey! Don't kick me out like that. Gimme a warnin' first!" pointing a threatening finger at the still meditating girl. Somehow Michelangelo couldn't help but smile at the turtle in front him. It reminded him of something or was it someone?
Raphael quickly turned as he felt a presence behind him. When he saw his youngest brother went agape and rapidly took out his twin Sais. "Mickey?" he asked. The smile the sea green turtle had dropped and attacked. Michelangelo took out another dagger from his right pocket and kept attacking the forest green turtle.
"Mickey, please! I don't want tah fight yah" Raphael tried to reason with his brother but the terrapin only smirked evilly and said "Good. It'll make my job of killing you easier."
Raphael's eyes widened at what his youngest brother said. He had never before heard such cruel word from the youngest turtle. Not even to their enemy, before this whole thing started!
The forest green terrapin now narrowed his eyes in anger. "you are no brother of mine…" he said and charged at the sea green turtle but the only thing Michelangelo did was smirk and hold up the remote Shredder had given him earlier the day. Recognizing it Raphael quickly stopped.
"Ah, I see you know what this is and does" Michelangelo said grinning wide. "So that means you know what will happen if you do something I don't like"
Raphael narrowed his eyes trying to think of a way to get the remote out of his brother's hand. "Mikey, don't do this" Raph said sternly to him. Michelangelo's smirk grew into a grin on his face. "What? No please with a cherry on top" he said mockingly. "I mean she mainly is the reason that I'm like this you know. And guess what… there's no turning back"
"What?" Raphael asked in surprise but quickly replaced it with a scowl of suspicion. 'If he knows he's been brainwashed why doesn't he seem to care or do somethin' bout it?' Raphael thought to himself.
"And now I'm guessing you asking yourself 'if he knows he's brainwashed why doesn't he do anything about it?" Michelangelo crouched down next to the brunette, the grin leaving his face, and he began to explain. "Well you see Raph the thing is that the potion little miss brunette here made was indeed for wiping my memories and manipulating them but like she may have mention one ingredient had been missing to complete the thing, right?"
All Raphael could do was nod to what his brother asked. The sea-green turtle stood up once more and continued explaining. "Well dear brother without that ingredient, all the potion did was remove all positive emotions I always had and turn them into the turtle you see in front of you. Cold, merciless, crude, sadistic, you know all the villainy package that comes with being obviously evil. But you know what's the only thing I find humoristic about all of this?" Michelangelo asked the red banded turtle. This time Raphael shook his head no. "Two simple things really… one: is the fact that Leo still thinks I haven't noticed him sneaking up behind me" as he said this Michelangelo did an inhumanly fast spin-kick to the blue banded turtle's face. Making Leo fall to the floor with force clutching his now bleeding cheek and mouth.
Straitening up and turning to Raphael Michelangelo continued to say "and two I have the knowledge that I can kill all of you and not feel a thing as I gut you and rip your throat out" with a renowned grin that stretched to each side of his face. Now both blue and red banded turtle's eyes widened in shock. They had never heard their youngest brother speak like this!
"Now here's what we're going to do: First you all die quietly, cus really all that screaming ugh… what purpose those that have? And second-" The sea green terrapin was saying but didn't get to finished as he got interrupted by the brown haired girl as she grabbed his arm twisted it over her shoulder until he let go of the remote. Then Cree kicked him away but not hard enough to do any real damage.
"And secondly you are going to my lab to get you fixed" she said after picking up the remote. Michelangelo slowly got up. "And who ever said I was?" He asked sarcastically towards her.
"I think I just did. Didn't I?" Cree backfired with the same amount of sarcasm. "And it's not like you can escape or anything. I have the remote and you're surrounded".
"Let's see about that… voice command activate; CODENAME: Shocker."
At first no one understood why he had said that. At least not until Cree let out a blood curling scream, grabbing her chest and fell to the floor convulsing foam from her mouth until blood could be seen.
"Voice command, CODENAME: Cease" Michelangelo said and immediately the brunette girl stopped moving completely. Since Raphael was the closest to her, quickly went to her and checked her pulse.
Badump….…badump….….badump…..…badump
'Good. She still has a pulse.' Raphael thought in relief.
Now that he had checked the girl for a pulse he turned a chilling glare his younger brother. "Yah know Mikey. Out of us four I always thought that you'd be the only one who wouldn't do such a thing to an innocent—" Raphael began to say as he took out both of his trusted Sais. "But now dat I've seen with it wit mah own eyes… as of now you are dead to me"
A wide grin reappeared on Michelangelo's face "Good. It'll be even easier to kill you now" he said as he took out his pair of nunchakus and began to twirl them. Raphael's ice cold glare never left the sea green turtle as he launched forward to attack.
Leonardo stood up as he saw the purple banded turtle and the alligator come running towards him. "Leo! What going on we heard a scream and—" Donatello began to say but quickly shut his mouth as he saw what was happening now in front of them. "Mikey…" he said almost in whisper as his eyes widened. When Donatello move forward to help their brother in red, Leonardo quickly stopped him. "Donnie, don't bother Raph right now. You'll get hurt. Go attend Cree she needs you more than he does" he said pointing towards where the motionless body lay. Donatello's eyes widened even more as he started to go towards the brunette.
Once the turtle in blue made sure his brother was occupied he made to keep watching the fight between two of his younger brothers. Normally he would try and stop this but he knew what state of fury Raphael was in, nothing was going to calm his down until Michelangelo was either bleeding or unconscious. So he just watched just to make sure the hot-headed turtle didn't make a fatal wound that could kill the young turtle. Right now Leonardo silently thanked Cree for giving Mikey that "upgrade". If Leo knew one thing it was that Michelangelo could be able to last long enough for Raphael's ire to diminish.
He just hoped that it ended before either of them did something they would regret for the rest of their lives…
To say he was livid was the understatement of the year. Never had the turtle in red been so furious in his entire life. Much less when it concerned one of his brothers –especially Mikey—. Raphael still couldn't believe that the one who had almost killed Cree was his youngest brother. Sure, Raphael had always known Michelangelo could've been able to kill anyone but he had too much of a good heart to do so. Even to the ones that had tried to kill him previously. Yet, the turtle that stood in front of him may have Michelangelo's face, voice, physics and ninjutsu skills but he no longer possessed the heart of gold that once lit up an entire room just by being there.
No. the heart of the turtle that stood in front of him was cold, pitch black and made of coal. It didn't matter to Raphael anymore that this being used to be his brother once. He was too mad for what that thing had done to Cree. Though one thing in the back of his head asked him why did he care so much about a girl that had been the reason that Michelangelo was this way in the first place?
'It doesn't matah now. He needs tah be taught a lesson and I'll be tah one who gives it tah him' the red-wearing clad thought as he kicked his brother on the chest sending him back a few feet. Raphael then proceeded slash at him but Michelangelo dodged and gave a low kick to Raphael's ribs. The latter grunted but still stood tall and went to slash him again. Michelangelo back-flipped away from and then attacked with his nunchakus hitting Raphael hard enough for him to fall down.
"You know Raph, as much fun I'm having kicking your shell here. I must be on my way and bring little miss magic back to master Shredder." Michelangelo said as he stood up straight. With inhuman Raphael saw the sea-green turtle go where Donatello was. Sadly the purple wearing terrapin didn't notice or react fast enough defend himself from Michelangelo's kick. Donatello skidded two feet away from where he had been moments ago. With a grunt the purple wearing terrapin quickly stood and tried to stop his brother from taking the only person who may be able to find a cure. "Mikey, stop!" he pleaded but his request went on deaf ears. Michelangelo grabbed the unconscious girl and quickly threw a smoke bomb. "See yah…" he said.
In an instant he disappeared.
