It was another night out on a mission with the Turtles. I heard Mikey groan from his station in the back of the Shellraiser. "Another day, another Kraang hunt," he said. He walked up to me and Raph's station. "Raph, Kayla fire all weapons!" "I don't think so," Raph replied. I rolled my eyes. "See that's your problem. If I were in charge on weapons, I'd be firin them all the time," Mikey said, "That mailbox, BLAM! That news stand, BOOM! That portapotty, SPLAT!" "And that's you're not in charge of weapons. Now get back to your station, and tell me where to go," Leo said. Mikey walked back to his station, and looked at the map. "Hmmm... Okay, turn right... Three blocks ago," he said. We all groaned.
Pretty soon, we pulled up in front of an old building. "That must be the hidden Kraang lab," Donnie said. "Let's trash the place!" Raph said. I could go for some trashin right about now. "Hold on Raph. This is a recon mission. We find out what the Kraang are up to, and then we trash the place," Leo said. "Fine, wake us when we get to the trashing part," Raph and I said. We walked inside, and the place was already trashed. "Aww man! Someone beat us to it!" Raph said. I very disappointed. "It looks like one of their mutagen experiments got away from em," Leo said. Donnie and I looked at some charts that were on the wall. "It seemed they were doing experiments on Arthropods, weird," Donnie said. We looked around until Donnie and I found a cabinet full of equipment. "Hey this equipment still looks good. Wooh hoo hoo, nice centrifuge," he said. "If I ever get excited over a centrifuge," Raph said, "Just put me out of my misery." I snickered.
I saw Mikey look up at something. "Hey Donnie, how big do you think one of Arthropods might be?" he asked. "Well, a bee is about 4 millimeters, and a wasp is about 6," Donnie replied. "Then what the heck is that?!" Mikey screeched. We looked up, and saw a giant wasp! It started to fly towards us, and we ducked. It came back, and pinned Raph down on a table. "Get. It. Off! Get it off!" Raph screamed as it tried to bite him. Donnie whacked it with his Bo staff. I unsheathed my katana, and tried to help Donnie. Raph tried to stab it, but ended up being slammed into the ceiling. The wasp tried to stab me and Donnie with its stinger, but thankfully it stabbed a wall instead. Leo hit it against a wall and hid behind an overturned table with the rest of us.
"We need a plan fast," he said. "I know, I'll catch him with my kusurigama chains," Mikey suggested. "That wasp is too strong. How about this, Mikey you get it to chase you, and we'll ambush it," Leo said. "Why don't we ever do my plans," Mikey whined. "Because there your plans now go!" Leo demanded. Mikey groaned, and hopped up on a table. "Hey wasp," he called, "Come and get it!" The wasp flew down and started to chase Mikey. He ran away screaming. The wasp climbed on the ceiling, and stopped in front of Mikey's face. Mikey screamed, and ran the other way. "He's really turned running away screaming into an art form," Raph said. "Well, at least he's good at something," Donnie said. I snorted. Mikey tripped. "Goodish," Donnie said. I snickered. The wasp tried to stab Mikey, but he rolled away.
Leo pointed up at a high shelf. We climbed up, and waited for the wasp. It started to chase Mikey around in circles again. "On my signal," Leo said, "Now!" We jumped at the same time as Mikey threw his nunchucks at the wasp. We ended up falling on the ground. The wasp fell too. "Ha! How ya like me now?" Mikey said. The wasp started to fly, dragging Mikey along with it. It slammed Raph, Donnie and I into a wall. "A lot less than I did a few seconds ago," Raph said. Leo unsheathed a katana.
The wasp threw Mikey into a wall, and stung Leo. "Ow!" He yelped. The wasp fell to the ground, dead. "See, my plan worked, I tired it out," Mikey said triumphantly. "You didn't tire it out. The wasp died because it lost its stinger," Donnie said. "Yeah, in me! Thanks a lot Mikey!" Leo growled. "Heh, sorry dude," Mikey said. Raph and I took one look at that stinger in Leo's arm, and felt sick. "Let me see that," Donnie said, pulling the stinger out of Leo's arm. Leo yelped. "Are you gonna be okay?" Donnie asked. "Pretty sore, but I think I'll be fine," Leo replied. "Mutations are usually antrophemoriphic. I've never seen mutagen create giants like this before," Donnie said as he examined the stinger. "Yeah, real fascinating Donnie," Raph muttered.
"Woah, look!" Leo gasped. We came over and saw this Lima bean shaped egg. "It's some kind of egg," Donnie confirmed. No stuff, I thought. "Stand back, I'll handle this," Mikey said. "I'm betting on the egg," Raph and I muttered. "Wait! We're not hurting it. We came to see what the Kraang are up to, and this is our only clue. We should take it back to the lab and let Donnie analyze it," Leo said. "Great idea. We'll take the mutant wasp egg back to our home where we live. What's the worst that can happened," Raph said sarcastically. "I'm gonna have to agree with Raph on this one Leo. It's a bad idea," I said. "It's not safe leaving this around. It'll be fine, I'll just keep an eye on it," Leo replied. "Yeah, you'll just keep an eye on it. Maybe we should let it sleep in our rooms too," I muttered. "I'll get it," Mikey said. He tried to reach for it. "Hands off!" Leo snapped. "Dude, you sure you're alright. Cause unmotivated bursts off anger, kinda our thing," Raph said, gesturing to me and himself. "It's just that the egg may be fragile. Michelangelo cannot be trusted with it," Leo said, "I'll carry it myself." He picked up the egg. "I'm beginning to think that Leo likes that egg more than me," Mikey said. "Well the egg talks less than you, so there's that," Raph replied. Donnie and I rolled our eyes.
At the lair, Leo carried the egg out of the Shellraiser as if it were his own kid. "I got a really bad feeling about keeping that thing in the lair," Raph said. "Raphael, think of all we could learn from it," Leo said. "You do know what's inside of wasp eggs right? Here's a hint, WASPS!" Raph snapped. I crossed my arms. I really didn't like being around that egg. "That's not a hint dude, you gave it away," Mikey said. I balled up my fists, but calmed down when I took a deep breath. I can get irritable at times. Raph looked at Donnie, and he shrugged.
Leo had put the wasp egg in Donnie's lab like he said. Good, at least now I don't have to look at the thing so much, I thought. "Fascinating," Donnie said, pulling out a knife. "Stop what are you doing?!" Leo screeched. "Dissecting it," Donnie said. "Absolutely not! This is the only egg we have, we need to learn how it develops," Leo said. Since when did Leo give a crap about developing eggs?! "Well then... I guess I'll keep staring at it..." Donnie said. "Good idea, from over there," Leo demanded. Donnie took a few steps over to the right, and smiled nervously. Leo glared him. Donnie stepped all the way back to where we were. Leo turned around, and knelt in front of the egg. "Well... I think I'll do something in the other room. Raph, Mikey, Kayla... Care to join me?" Donnie said. "Not unless you get more specific," Mikey answered. Donnie grabbed the ends of Mikey's mask. "Come on!" he growled.
We walked into the kitchen. "Okay Leo's acting totally weird, right?" Donnie said. I nodded. It all started after he was stung by that wasp. "Yeah, it's like he's obsessed with that egg!" Raph said. "Maybe we should ask Splinter what to do," Mikey suggested. "No dice guys, looks like he took April out for a training exercise," Donnie said. "Okay look. We gotta destroy that egg before it hatches," Raph said. "Agreed. But he won't let us get anywhere near it," Donnie said. "Well, maybe we can make him come to us," Mikey suggested. "Yeah, but what should we do?" I asked.
"Who's wants pizza? Leo's favorite! Jelly bean, anchovies, and jalapeno!" Mikey called. "Isn't that your favorite?" Donnie whispered. "Just go with it," Mikey whispered back. I honestly didn't want to eat that pizza gone horribly wrong. We walked into the lab, and made a huge deal of eating it. Well the turtles did. I just pretended to eat it. "Leo," Mikey called. Leo didn't respond. We scowled, and went to plan B. "Oh boy! That not at all stupid Space Heros show is on!" Raph said loudly. We watched the T.V., trying to catch Leo's attention. He still didn't come out. "Gentlemen, I have finally found the woman I am going to marry," Captain Ryan said on the screen. A very pretty lady turned out to be an ugly alien with tentacles for hair. "Dr. Mindstorm. Captain Ryan has fallen under the control of a deadly hypnoticon!" the private yelled. "How about some sugar baby," Captain Ryan said. The alien licked his face, and I scrunched up my face. I felt Raph squeeze my hand, causing me to smile a little. "Oh, you're missing a great one Leo," Donnie said. We popped our heads into the lab. No response. Time for plan C. "Hey Mikey, where are you going with Leo's signed Space Heros issue 1 that he keeps in plastic?" Raph asked. "Well, we're outta toilet paper, and I thought that the pages from this rare and valuable comic book would do the job nicely," Mikey replied. He started to rub the comic book on the back of his shell. "Oh yeah, that feels great. Hope Leo doesn't see me!" he called. Still no response. "Wow, he's farther gone than I thought," Donnie said. "Alright that tears it. I going to destroy the egg. Myself!" Raph growled.
At night, Raph got ready to destroy the egg. I put my katana on my back. There was no way I was going to let Raph do this on his own. I tried to follow him out of his room, but he stopped me. "Where do you think you're going?" he asked. I crossed my arms, "With you. There's no way I'm letting you do this on your own Raph," I said. "No. You're staying here. It's too dangerous," he said. I scowled. "I'm. Coming. With. You," I growled. "No. You're. Not!" Raph shot back. "There's no way you're stopping from coming with you," I said angrily. "Kayla, you're staying here," he said, "end of story." "No I'm not!" I yelled. He came up to me and kissed my cheek. "Yes you are," he said softly. My cheeks grew warm, and my face was more than a little red. Try redder than Raph's bandanna. I didn't want him to continue (even though I did), and I sat down on his bed with a huff. Raph sure does know how to make me tick. Raph smirked, and I glared at him. "I just want you to be safe okay?" he said. He kissed my cheek again, and my glare softened. "Be safe," I said. "I promise," he said. He winked before stepping out, and closing the door.
I laid down on the bed and tried to get some sleep. That little moment was still locked in my head. Raph actually kissed my cheek. Me! I smiled like an idiot as I went to sleep. I dreamt about a certain red masked turtle. I wasn't asleep for ten minutes, when I felt a strange burning sensation in my chest. I opened my eyes. My necklace was glowing, and I felt the sudden urge to touch it. When I did, my head was filled with a horrible image. Raph was fighting Leo, only there was something wrong with Leo's eyes. They weren't blue, but pitch black. Raph kicked Leo to the floor, and looked at his arm. There were teeth marks. "Did you just bite me?!" He yelled. Leo grinned evilly. "You bit me!" Raph screeched. The image faded. I touched it again, but the image didn't come back. That's when I saw my reflection. My eyes were glowing PURPLE! They slowly faded back to hazel. I went back to my necklace. But no matter how hard I tried, the image wouldn't come back. I checked one more time, and went to sleep. "Weird," I muttered.
Donnie and Mikey yawned. They must've slept pretty well, Ithought. "Um, where's Raph?" Donnie asked. He and Mikey turned towards me. "I don't know. He didn't come back into his room last night. I should know, I sleep in there," I said. They looked confused. I rolled my eyes. "Nightmares," I growled. They nodded. "He said he was going after the egg last night," Mikey said. I had a really bad feeling. I still remember that image. We poked our heads inside the lab. That goddamn egg was still there. But to my horror, Raph was in the same daze as Leo. "Oh boy," Donnie said. Leo and Raph took out there weapons. "Uh Raph, whatcha up to there bro?" Donnie asked. What the hell does it look like he's up to?! He's gone all fuckin crazy! I thought. "Something's definitely wrong," Mikey whispered, "He's gone all Leo, who isn't Leo on us!" Donnie and I looked at Raph's arm. Sure enough, there were bite marks on his arm.
"Look at his arm. He got bit. Leo must have bit him," Donnie said. I took a huge step back. This is too much like that image I saw last night. Leo ad Raph turned around. Their eyes were pitch black. "Bros. Snap out of it dudes," Mikey said. They ran towards us. We screamed, and ducked. "Get the door! Get the door!" Donnie screamed. We shut the doors, and Mikey tied them together with his nunchucks. "That oughta hold em," Donnie said. I hugged my knees up to my chest. I heard Leo and Raph bang on the doors from the inside. "Mikey! The garage door!" Donnie yelled. "On it!" Mikey ran around the corner. I heard a slam, and saw Mikey come back around the corner. We walked into the kitchen so that Donnie could look up something on his laptop.
"Here it is. The parasitic wasp infects animals with a virus that brainwashes them into protecting it's eggs," Donnie read. "You think that's the kind of wasp that stung Leo?" Mikey asked. "A mutant version. Then Leo bit Raph, and passed the virus on to him," Donnie explained. "The virus must be passed through saliva, and that's probably why Leo bit Raph," I said. "So when the egg hatches, will the guys go back to normal?" Mikey asked. "Not exactly. Look what happens to the caterpillar guarding the egg," Donnie said. He showed Mikey and I some images of the wasp eating the caterpillar. "It's eating him! It's eating him! AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Mikey screamed, "What are we gonna do?" I put my head in my hands. Raph promised to be careful, and ended up becoming the parasitic zombie guardian of a mutant wasp egg, and now, he's going to get eaten alive. "Well, I might be able to creat some sort of antibody, but I would need a sample of the virus from the egg," Donnie said.
We heard a crash, and tons of growls. Mikey and Donnie screamed, and held each other, and I screamed at the top of my lungs. I saw Raph and Leo walk in. "Oh no! Stay away! Stay away!" Mikey yelled. I screamed again when Raph tried to grab me. Donnie, Mikey and I made a beeline for the living room, Leo and Raph on our heels. Leo tackled Donnie, and tried to bite him. "We need to get to the egg, it could be our only cure!" He said. Leo continued to try to bite him. Raph was fighting Mikey and I. He fight me, but Mikey would eventually step in. Raph grabbed him, and threw him on the ground. Raph pounced. Mikey took out his nunchucks, and thankfully Raph bit them before he could get to Mikey. Mikey kicked him into the water. I started to make my way to the lab, but I saw Raph, and backed up. Donnie was currently rolling around on the ground with Leo. Donnie managed to get away, but Leo grabbed him. Mikey wrapped him up with his nunchucks before he could get Donnie. We pinned him down. "Raph?" Mikey and I asked. He was nowhere to be seen. Great. Donnie looked inside the lab. "Holy mackerel! He took the egg," he said, "He's out there somewhere, waiting." "Way to sugar coat it Donnie," I muttered. "You mean he could be there!" Mikey said hysterically, "Or there! Or even- Ow!" Donnie slapped him. "Calm down man. We'll barricade ourselves in my lab," he said. "So what about Leo?" Mikey said.
Leo growled and hissed as Donnie and Mikey carried him up the steps to the lab. "Ugh, he's a lot heavier than he looks," Mikey said. "We that antidote. Now that we have Leo, we can get a sample from him," I said. That burning sensation came back, and I touched my necklace. Another image filled my head. Donnie and Mikey. They had the same pitch black eyes. It ended, and I saw Donnie and Mikey looking at me like I had three heads. "What?!" "Your eyes. They're glowing purple," Donnie said. I practically felt them turn back to hazel. It felt like something very hot turning very cold. "Well, they're back to normal now, so let's focus on making that antidote," I said. They shrugged, and carried Leo up the rest of the stairs.
Donnie and Mikey were busy putting nails in a beam they were going to tie Leo to. "Donatello, Michelangelo, Kayla. What happened?" Leo asked. Leo's voice was normal, but his eyes took a while to change. "Leo! You went crazy dude. So did Raph, he ran off with the egg," Mikey said. I rolled my eyes. Oh Mikey so gullible. "Don't worry, I'm better now. You can untie me Mikey. Untie me, so we go find Raph together," Leo said. Mikey took a step forward, and I grabbed his wrist. "No! Don't do it look at his eyes," Donnie and I said. Leo's eyes were black again. He growled, and tried to bite us. "It is useless to resist! It is only a matter of time before the egg burst, and the hatchling will feed on us all!" he hissed. Donnie slapped him. "Sorry to burst your possessed bubble Leo. We may not have the egg, but a sample of your blood should help me make a cure," he said. Mikey shrieked, and pointed to Donnie's shoulder. "Bite! You've been bitten. You've been bitten!" he screamed. I was starting to get a headache. Those images are so real, they're overwhelming me. "I must've been bitten during the fight. Now... I'm infected too," he said. "We need to make that antidote. Now!" I said.
Donnie and I were working on the antidote, and Donnie was stressing. A LOT! "I'm not gonna make it! I'm not gonna make it!" He said hysterically. "Don't stress dude, you're almost done," Mikey said. "Mikey, Kayla, you gotta help me. If I turn, you're gonna have to knock me out so you can finish the antibody," Donnie said. "But Donnie-" "Just promise me! It's up to you," Donnie said. I rolled my eyes. "Okay, okay! But what do I do?! I'm not the most sciency type of guy, in case you didn't know," Mikey said. I snickered, believe me we knew. "First, the hyperdomaculture has to incubate for ten minutes. Then, it has to spin in the centrifuge for another five," Donnie said, "Besides, Kayla can help you." He put a hand up to his head. "Ack! There's not enough time! I'm not... I'm not feeling so well..." He fell to his knees, and started to growl. Uh, oh. Mikey grabbed his nunchuck, and swung. Donnie grabbed it, and threw it aside. I screamed as Donnie grabbed Mikey arm, and bit him. Mikey shrieked, and knocked him out. "Oh no! I'm doomed! Gotta remember what Donnie said. Gotta remember. Ugh feel kinda..." Mikey said. He fell to the ground. "Mikey!" I screamed. He got up, and I picked up his nunchuck. "Stay back!" I growled. "It's me, I'm still okay, but you should hide just in case Donnie wakes up," he said. I nodded, and looked for a place to hide. I ducked behind a shelf. "You sure you got this?" I asked. Mikey fell over. "Ugh, yeah," he said. He got up, and fell over again. He got up, and fell over again. Mikey managed to get into a chair, only crash it into a shelf. I laughed. Mikey rolled the chair the other way into another shelf. He fell over, and had finally remembered what Donnie said.
Mikey took out the hyperdomaculture, and almost dropped it because it was too hot. Luckily, he didn't. Mikey then put the antidote in a vial. I watched him finish the antidote, and inject it into his arm, and then fall unconscious on the floor. It always amazes me how Donnie's antidotes puts people to sleep, I thought. I saw Donnie get up, and untie Leo. Their eyes were still pitch black. They walked out into the living room, where I suspected Raph was going to be. I saw Mikey get back up. "Mikey, are you okay?" I asked. He put his hand up. "Yeah I'm alright, what are we gonna do to give the guys the antidote?" he asked. I smiled. "I have the perfect idea," I said, "We should just pretend to be one of them, and when they've been distracted, we'll inject them with the antidote." Mikey nodded.
Leo, Donnie, and Raph were out in the living room. Mikey and I stepped out. "Michelangelo, Kayla, you have come to join us," Leo said. "Yes we see what is so awesome about this egg," Mikey and I said in unison. We injected the needles into their necks once we joined their circle. "What have you done?!" Raph hissed. Mikey blew the top of his injector. "Pulled the bacon out the fryin pan bro!" he said. "Donatello, you said they were safe. You said you turned them," Raph said. "I did," Donnie said. "Did you Donnie did you really?" Mikey asked, "You did, but..." Mikey pretty much explained how he finished the antidote by himself, and my plan of how we pretended to be infected. "You finished the antibody yourself." Donnie asked. "And you were just pretending to be one of us?" Leo asked. "But that's smart," Raph said. "Yeah it is. Just call us Dr. Einsteininstein," Mikey said. The guys started to look tired. "Oh, I forgot to mention, it may cause drowsiness," Mikey said. Leo, Donnie, and Raph fell to the ground. Just then, the egg started to hatch. Three wasps emerged, and I shrieked. "What?! Three wasps!" Mikey screeched. We started to shake the guys. "Guys, get up! Get up! Get up! AAAH!" Mikey screamed. The wasps flew down. I pointed to some skateboards on the wall. Mikey nodded, and we each grabbed one.
"No! Bad wasps! Get away from my brothers!" Mikey yelled as he whacked the wasps. I whacked one as hard as I could away from Raph. All three wasps flew up. Mikey gasped. They started to fly towards us, and Mikey and I screamed. We ran, and barricaded ourselves inside the Shellraiser. One got his head stuck in between the doors, and Mikey kicked it out. The wasps started stabbing the Shellraiser, trying to skewer us. Mikey tried to start the Shellraiser, but the lever was stuck. "Come on seriously!" he said. "Hey wasps!" I heard Raph yell, "Come and get it!" I almost screamed with joy. Raph's okay! I heard the wasps fighting the others. It sounded like the guys were losing. "Looks like we're gonna be wasp food after all," Leo said. Mikey and I decided to think up a plan. "Fire the garbage cannon!" I yelled. Mikey pushed the button. I heard a splat. "Fire it again!" I said. Mikey pushed the button twice. I heard two more splats. We came out. "Saved your lives again dudes!" Mikey said triumphantly, "I am on roll today!"
Raph and Leo were mopping up the wasp goop, while Donnie and I were repairing the Shellraiser. "I can't believe Mikey came through for once," Raph said. "I can't believe he fired the Shellraiser inside the lair," Leo replied. "I told you, you should should let me fire it more often," Mikey said as he ate his pizza. He finished and stuck his hand out. "Pizza me," he said. Donnie and I looked at his hand. "No, I'm not gonna pizza you," Donnie said. "You're right, it's not like I did something incredibly brave and saved your lives," Mikey said. "You did save our lives, but you also used my favorite comic book as toilet paper," Leo growled. I took that as my cue to take a break, and stand with Raph. "Yeah, but I only did it so that you would chase me," Mikey said. "We'll it worked!" Leo growled. "Wait stop!" Mikey screeched. "Mikey!" Leo yelled. Leo grabbed a mop, and got ready to hit Mikey with it. "I'm a hero!" Mikey screamed. I snickered, but then I felt something grab my hand. "You okay?" Raph asked I nodded. "Why wouldn't I be?" I asked. "I didn't want to hurt you," he said. I raised an eyebrow. "You mean when you were infected?" I asked. He nodded, and I hugged him. "Of course you didn't hurt me! I can take care of myself," I said. He kissed my cheek, and I blushed. "Good," he said.
