The next day...
"I'm bored!" Mikey announced, sitting upsidedown on the couch. Leo sighed and turned off the TV. Mikey had been wining for a half an hour and wasn't going to be stopping anytime soon.
"Why are you bored Mikey?" Leo asked, turning around. Mikey got rightside up.
"Because there's nothing to do!" Mikey wined, over-dramaticly sighing and laying down.
"Well what did you expect cat-boy?" Raph asked. Mikey swished his tail around.
"I want to go to the surface!" Mikey said. Leo rolled his eyes.
"Mikey, you know we can't go up there." Leo said, standing up and walking over to the couch. Mikey sighed again.
"Can't Donnie make another batch of that human juice stuff for us?!" Mikey asked, throwing his head back. Leo thought for a second. Mikey had a point. The three of them exchanged a look to each other.
"Oh Don!" They all called, walking towards his lab. Don was sitting at his work bench on his laptop.
"What?" Don asked not turning around.
"Can you make us human again?" Leo asked. Mikey stood behind him with a huge smile.
"I suppose." Don said. They all cheered, "It will take a while though, I have to remeber how to do it, how much of each chemical to use and-"
"Blah blah, science science, just get to it!" Raph said.
"What I'm saying is that it will take a long time, maybe even a day or two." Don said. Mikey sighed.
"Then we'll just leave and let you get to it." Leo said, shooing everyone out. Don shrugged and started working on the chemical.
"Are you done?" Mikey asked, peeking his head out from the door. Don sighed and turned his head all the way around, "Ew!" Mikey yelled, running away. Don smiled and turned back around. Maybe, just maybe, he could do this and they could be humans forever. They could live normal lives and have normal relationships. He loved the way that April looked at him at the dance. He know that his brothers felt the same way. Especially Raph; he was more in love with Hannah then all of the four brothers combined.
Don got back onto his laptop and looked at his notes on making the chemical. He sighed and rested his head in one hand while scrolling through the pages with the other. He heard a scream in the other room and nearly fell out of his chair. Before he could even take a breath, Mikey was in the lab, closing the door and dragging a table over to put in front of it.
"Uh Mikey?" Don asked, standing and walking over. Mikey sunk to a seated position and caught his breath.
"Raph's gonna eat me!" He yelled. Don was about to just roll his eyes and tell Mikey how crazy he was, but he noticed a feared look in Mikey's eyes.
"Just, tell me what happened." Don said, bending down.
"It happened so fast. I was in the TV room and suddenly, Raph's stomach growled. It kinda freaked me out so I started moving away but Leo stopped me before I could get even three feet away. Raph caught me with his tail and started to strangle me again. I brought out my hot nunchuck fury on him and knocked him out. He let me go and I escaped to here." Mikey explained. There was a giant bang on the door. Both of them jumped.
"It's like the wasp thing all over again." Mikey said, remembering when Leo got stung by the wasp and went all crazy eyes on them. Don shuddered, "Did you finish the human juice?"
"No, I hadn't even started." Don said. There was another bang on the door. One more bang and Don and Mikey would be lion and snake food, "Just in case they break in here, I'll grab my laptop and some chemicals and let's get out weapons ready." Mikey nodded and flung out his nunchucks. Don stuffed his laptop into a laptop bag and slung it over his shoulder. He pulled his stafff out if its holder and readied himself for battle. There was another bang and two insane older brothers ran in. Don heard a low growl from Leo. He took his bo-staff and, really not wanting it to have come to this, hit Leo upside the head.
Leo stepped back and held his head, letting out a low growl again.
"They were fine just a minute ago!" Don yelled over to Mikey. Mikey screamed and just kept hitting Raph with his nunchucks. Raph deviously smiled at Mikey and lunged forward. Mikey dodged and rolled to the side, hitting Raph right on top of his head. Raph fell to the ground and hissed. Mikey hit hi again.
"I know!" Mikey yelled, trying to get a safe distancce from Raph's tail. Raph turned over and flipped his tail near Mikey's feet. It grabed one of his legs and he fell down. Don knocked Leo out and tied him to a chair. He then, rushed over to help Mikey. Don lifted up his skinny leg and stomped as hard as he could on Raph's tail. Raph hissed and yanked his tail back, releasing Mikey. Mikey crawled away.
"Come on, let's get to the surf-" Don stopped, falling to his knees. Raph had flicked his tail right at Don's leg and broke it. Raph hissed one last time before slithering away. Mikey ran over to Don.
"Are you okay?" Mikey asked. Don nodded, his eyes closed and his face facing the ground. He took a deep breath and looked up. Horrible pain was coming from his leg.
"Get me one of my broken staffs behind my desk." Don said, pointing. Mikey nodded and grabbed half a staff for Don. Don pulled himself over and grabbed some bandages. He put the staff on the side of his leg and wrapped the bandages.
"We need to get to the surface. Thank goodness that it's night." Don said. Mikey bennt down and put an arm around Don's shoulder to help him up. Don grit his teeth as Mikey lead him away.
"Then what?" Mikey asked once they were walking through the sewers.
"Well, I can finish the antidote." Don asnwered as Mikey climbed up the ladder and helped Don up.
"What if they come up? How will you escape?" Mikey asked. Don gave a small smile and moved his wings. He used his one leg to push him off the ground and into the air. Mikey jumped up the fire escape and met Don on the roof. Don carefully landed and pulled his laptop and the chemicals out of the bag.
Mikey paced around, looking down into the alley every so often. His tail was flicking around quickly and his ears were down.
"You done?" He asked, looking over. Don sighed.
"For the tenth time, no!" Don said very loudly, "I'm closer then last time though." He said.
"Hurry, they're probably on their way." Mikey said, pacing again. Don shook his head and went back to the chemical, aka the "human juice". Mikey was chewing on his claws now. Two people started walking down the sidewalk. Mikey stopped pacing and went to the edge.
"Hi Holly!" He yelled, waving. Don would've grabbed Mikey but couldn't in his present state. Instead, he just smacked his forehead. Holly neconized his voice and looked up immediatly. She saw the giant cat standing on the roof and fainted, "Opps." Mikey said, backing away, "What should I do?" He asked. Don sighed.
"Just bring them up here, we've got nothing to loose." Don said. Mikey nodded and jumped down the fire escape.
"Holly? Hannah?" He asked, walking slowly towards them.
"Mikey?" Holly asked, waking up. Mikey took a step forward and Hannah pulled Holly away.
"I'm right here." Mikey tried to explain. Holly opened her eyes and just stared at the giant tabby cat. HEr breathing started quick. She was about to scream when Mikey ran over and put a paw up against her mouth.
"Don't scream. Please." Mikey said. Holly slowly nodded. He removed his hand, "Come onto the roof with us." He said, motioning towards the fire escape in the alley.
"Are your brothers cats too?" Hannah asked as Mikey helped her up.
"Not exactly." He said, helping Holly up then following. Once they were on top, Holly almost fainted again at seeing a giant bird with chemicals surrounding him.
"Wait, are you guys humans or this?" Holly asked. Mikey went over and sat on the edge of the roof.
"We're actually turtles." Don answered for Mikey.
"Uh, turtles?" Hannah asked, sitting down. Holly went over and sat next to Mikey.
"Yeah, we were mutant turtles trained to be ninjas." Mikey said.
"I think that the chemical's done." Don said, looking at the test tube containing the human juice.
"Will that turn you guys human again?" Holly asked. Don put his laptop away into its bag.
"Yeah, but we have to wait for our brothers to get up here." Mikey said.
"What are they?" Holly wondered.
"Well Raph's a snake and Leo's a lion." Don answered.
"They lost it and they want to eat us." Mikey added. Hannah straightened, not wanting to see Raph like that.
There was a sound in the alley. Mikey immediatly got up and rushed over. He slowly looked over and saw his brothers starting up the fire escape. Leo boosting Raph up.
"It's Leo and Raph!" Mikey whispered loudly.
"Help me up." Don said. Mikey came over and helped Don to his feet, "You guys better run. Hopefully, we'll see you at school soon." Don said, jumping up into the air.
"I'm, I mean, we're not going anywhere." Holly said.
"Holly, it might get dangerous." Mikey said.
"I don't care." Holly replied.
"I do," Hannah said softly.
"Holly-" Mikey started. He was interupted by Leo climbing onto the roof. Raph was close behind.
"Get to the next roof, Raph won't be able to follow us." Don yelled down. Mikey nodded and grabbed Holly, jumping across and almost missing.
"Hannah!" Holly yelled. Leo pushed Hannah aside and lept to the next roof. Hannah was left alone with Raph. She backed away untill she was at the edge. Raph kept slithering closer.
"Raph! Stop!" She yelled, tripping over to a sitting position. Raph just came closer and closer, flicking his tongue a little. His eyes, "RAPHAEL!" She screamed. Raph stopped and blinked a few times, looking down at her.
"H-hannah?" He asked, bending down. She slowly looked up at him. His eyes changed. It was almost unnoticable, but she could tell. His eyes seemed to show more "Raph" somehow. He stood back up and held his head, "What happened?" He asked, cringing. He let out a low hissing/growling sound, his eyes changing a little
"Raph," She said, standing and grabbing him by the shoulders, "You need to snap out. Please." Raph snarled at her a little. Her eyes welled up with tears. Raph shook her hands off and got back a little. He flipped his tail at her and grabbed her by her feet. She let out a scream as she fell.
"Hannah!" Holly yelled. Hannah started crying.
"Raph! You're acting like a bully!" Hannah screamed, turning her head away. Raph stopped and looked at her again. His eyes changing.
"I'm sorry," He said, releaseing her. He backed away and she waited for him to loose it again. When he didn't, she jumped up and hugged him, "I'm so sorry." He kept saying.
"It's okay." She said, letting go and stepping back.
"I couldn't control myself I just-" Raph started. He was interupted by Hannah kissing him. He stared at her closed eyes.
"I forgive you." She said, leaning back. Raph was still in a trance by the kiss.
"Okay," He coughed out. She smiled at him. He shook his head and smiled too, "Come on." He said, picking her up and backing away from the edge.
"Um, Raph." She said, alarmed.
"Don't worry, Raph's got ya." Raph said. She wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes tight. Raph started slithering quickly to the edge and coiled his tail and pushed off. Hannah's grip tightened as they were in the air. He landed with a somersault.
"You okay?" He asked Hannah. She slowly looked up and gave a weak smile.
"Y-yeah." She finally said, shaking a little. They got up and saw Don and Mikey fighting Leo.
"AH! Raph!" Mikey yelled, hitting raph in the upper arm with his nunchucks. Raph let out a not-so-manly scream and glared at him.
"I swear Mikey-" Raph started. Hannah quickly covered his mouth before any colorful words were said.
"He's back to his normal mindset." She said. Mikey innocently smiled at Raph and went back to fighting Leo. It was one against two yet Leo was winning. Hannah ran over to join Holly behing some air conditioners.
"Move, I'll take him." Raph said, pushing Mikey away.
"Raph, we don't have to fight him anymore! I'll just get the chemical out." Don yelled down, reaching in his bag for the closed test got it out, coming down for a landing.
"Hurry!" Mikey yelled, kicking Leo in the gut. Don nodded, he was shaking a little. He got the juice out and was about to open it when Leo grabbed his bad leg. He screamed, and dropped the test tube.
"NO!" Mikey and Raph screamed, reaching out for it. It tumbled around in the air a little before landing in a dumpster and breaking. Don was now on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain. Leo started towards Don.
"Oh no you don't!" Raph yelled, jumping over and tackling his older brother. Leo clawed at Raph, but that didn't matter because of his hard scales. Raph smiled.
"Mikey, your chain!" Raph yelled, pinning Leo down. Mikey pulled out his chain and ran over, tying Leo up. Raph got up and caught his breath.
"Now what genius?!" He demanded, walking over to Don, who was still laying down. Don turned over and looked up at Raph.
"I don't know. I could try to make the chemical. Again." Don snapped back. Hannah and Holly came out.
"You guys aren't humans." Holly said, going over to Mikey.
"Egghead dropped the chemical!" Raph yelled, crossing his arms.
"I'm sorry, okay?!" Don yelled, trying to get up, "Can somebody help me?" Mikey rushed over and helped Don up. Don jumped into the air and started hovering above them. Don looked into his laptop bag and gasped.
"What?" Mikey asked. Don just stared into his bag with shock.
"Leo freaking stabbed my laptop!" Don yelled, alomst throwing the bag at Leo. Raph and Mikey looked up at him as if saying 'WHAT?!'.
"N-now what?" Mikey asked.
"Maybe I can get us back to turtles." Don suggested with a small smile.
"How?" Raph asked, tapping his imaginary foot.
"Well first we need turtles." Don said. Holly smiled.
"There's some baby turtles at the pet shop. I should know, I work there." Holly said with a giant smile.
"We just need to hold them for a little bit for us to get the DNA, after that, we'll head back to the lair where I have some mutagen." Don said, starting towards the pet shop.
"Muta-what now?" Holly asked Mikey. Mikey smiled and scooped her up, jumping to the next roof.
"Don!" Raph yelled, Don looked over.
"Yeah?"
"I got Leo, can I trust you with Hannah?" Raph asked, smiling at her. She laughed. Don smiled and swooped down, grabbing her under the arms. Raph picked Leo up and slung him onto his back, coiling his tail and pushing off to the next roof. Mikey followed Holly's directions to the pet store until they finally made it. Mikey sat Holly down and they took the fire escape into the alley next to it. Don softly landed on one leg and leaned on Hannah while they waited for Raph and Leo. Raph finally appeared, dragging Leo down the fire escape.
"I'll get the turtles." Holly said, getting out a key ring. She put the key into the back door and opened it. Everyone waited for her to emerge with one little turtle, "I didn't want to bring all of them so here." She said, handing it to Mikey. Mikey smiled at the tiny little turtle in his hand. He pulled it close to his face and it opened its mouth, biting the very end of his nose. Mikey laughed and pulled it away, handing it to Don.
Don watched the turtle try to get up from being on its shell. It wobbled back and forth, its feet wiggling around in the air. Don smiled, it was nice being able to fly, and also be able to go to school, but he missed being a turtle. At least when they all are turtles, him and Mikey aren't being hunted by their older brothers. Don smiled and handed the little turtle off to Raph.
"Hey little guy." Raph said, rubbing the turtle's plastron. It reminded him of Spike. Raph was definatly not going to miss being a snake. He was going to be glad to have legs and feet. Even if his knees were screwed up, he missed them. The turtle rolled over and looked up at Raph with big eyes. Raph held the turtle with one hand and started rubbing it into Leo's mullet/mane.
"Thanks Holly." Raph said, giving her the turtle. She nodded and took it back inside. Holly came back out and locked the door.
"Where to now?" She asked. Don jumped up into the air and grabbed Hannah.
"To the lair!" He announced, leading the way. Holly jumped into Mikey's arms and they got onto the roof. Raph slung Leo over his shoulder and started down the sidewalk, not wanting to have to get back onto the roof.
"Raph?" A voice asked from behind him. Raph spun around and saw April standing there.
"Oh, hi April." He said.
"Why are you out here? With Leo on your back all chained up?" She asked. Raph smiled.
"Just come with me, we're about to turn back into turtles." Raph said, starting down the sidewalk again. She shrugged and followed. Raph was the last to make it into the alley.
"What took you so lo- H-hi April." Don said, blushing and waving.
"Let's just get this over with bird brain." Raph said, opening the manhole. Don scowled at him.
"I'll get the wall for you Don." Mikey said, jumping down and starting to run. Don waited for all of them to get down, then closed the manhole cover. A few seconds later the wall started opening.
"You're quick Mikey." Don said, leaning against the wall for balance.
"Thank you." Mikey said, bowing as he helped Don come in. He closed the wall and they slowly made their way down the subway tracks.
"Took you long enough." Raph said once they entered Don's lab.
"You girls stay out here so you don't get mutated or anything." Don said, closing the door to his lab. He took a deep breath and grabbed the canister of mutagen.
"Ready guys?" He asked, getting out his staff to break the canister. Raph and Mikey gave confident nods and Leo just struggled against the chain.
Don raised his staff and broke it. Mutagen exploded from the canister and it drenched all four brothers...
