Chapter Two
"So he can't activate the crystal with his magic unless he's in his own body!?" Michelangelo shrieked.
"What he just say Shell for brains!?" Raphael growled.
"Crud!" Michelangelo groaned.
"it's sort of like if the wrong battery is in the wrong machine." Donatello said.
"Alright!" Raphael snapped "We got it brainiac!"
Tyroth frowned as he looked at everyone.
"Okay." he said "I'm going to tap the Crystal and try and get myself back into my body! Maybe if luck is on our side, we may end up back in our own bodies and I won't need to do any magic!"
"Guess we'll have to play it by ear." said Sephie.
"And soon as well!" said Raphael "I feel so weird in my mate's body!"
"Okay! Brace yourselves people!" Tyroth said as he placed his finger on the crystal and closed his eyes.
Once again the same sensation filled everyone's bodies and Tyroth opened his eyes to see the results.
"Okay!" he said "Now where are we?"
"Hey! I'm me again!" Michelangelo's cheerful voice was heard from his own body.
"Yippee for you(!)" came the sarcastic voice of Mona who was now in Splinter's body.
"Great(!) I didn't shift at all!" Sephie's voice came from Donatello's body.
Leonardo and Raphael looked at each other and frowned.
"That's my body!" they said together as they pointed at each other realising they were in the opposite body.
Tyroth looked down and saw he was in Mona's body.
"Oh great! Now I'm a girl!" he said.
"And I'm a Dragon." Splinter's voice groaned from Tyroth's body.
"And where's Donnie?" asked Mona.
"I'm still Sephie!" Donatello sighed.
"Curses!" Tyroth groaned as he looked at everyone who was looking annoyed, apart from Michelangelo who was grinning at the fact he was himself again.
He looked at Mona in Splinter's body "Touch the crystal again!" he said.
"Awww no!" Michelangelo whined but Mona touch the crystal and Tyroth closed his eyes hoping he would end up in his body.
He opened them again and this time, he found himself in Leonardo!
"Dammit!" he growled.
Meanwhile Mona had ended up in Sephie's body.
"Right gender, right species, wrong body!" she moaned.
"Ditto!" Sephie had added when she realised she was in Mona's body.
"Eww man! Not the old hairy body!" Michelangelo groaned when he ended up in Splinter's body earning him a whack on the back of the head from Raphael who had Splinter in him.
Meanwhile, Raphael had ended up in Donatello and Leonardo found himself in Michelangelo!
"Again!" Tyroth barked at Michelangelo in Splinter's body who instantly touched the crystal.
"Gimme my handsome self back!" Michelangelo pleaded as he touched it.
But again Tyroth found himself not in his own body but in Donatello's!
"Oh for the love of Odin!" he cried to the roof "I can't take it anymore!"
"Neither can we big T!" Raphael's voice came from Sephie "I'm starting to feel sick from the different hormones!"
"I just want my body back!" Michelangelo whined from Raphael.
"This as all your fault to start with!" Donatello growled from Tyroth's body "If you hadn't touched it, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
As he spoke, some flames came from between his teeth and he started to choke.
"Oh shit!" he spluttered as he coughed and balls of fire began to spray out.
"Oh no!" Tyroth shouted "Clear the way people!"
Everyone instantly dived out of the way as the fireballs his the floor and wall.
"Get out of the room Don!" Tyroth shouted "Before you blow up your lab!"
Donatello didn't need telling twice as he raced out of his lab into the main lair where he continued to cough out fireballs.
"How do you turn it off!?" Leonardo yelled from Mona's body as fireballs went everywhere.
"Tyroth! Do something before he blows up the place!" Mona shouted from Michelangelo's body.
"Quickly!" Splinter's voice came from Leonardo's body.
Tyroth instantly touched the Crystal but this time he ended up in Leonardo's body.
"Oh Come on!" he shouted "This isn't funny!"
"Oh crap I'm Donnie again!" Mona whined.
"I'm Tyroth again!" Michelangelo sighed.
Hearing the others moaning about being in each other's bodies again, Tyroth touched the Crystal.
"If I don't don't end up in my body soon I'm gonna kill myself!" he growled under his breath.
"Don't say that!" Sephie said, her voice coming from Splinter's body.
After about ten minutes of touching the crystal and hopping between bodies other than his own, Tyroth soon found himself back in his own body.
"Yes!" he cried triumphantly "Finally!"
He looked at the others who were frowning but in a way relieved that Tyroth had found his body again.
"Thank Goodness!" said Raphael who was in Sephie's body "I thought he'd never find his body!"
"Ditto!" said Leonardo who was in Mona's body.
"Man this fur itches!" said Donatello who had ended up in Splinter's body.
Tyroth looked at his own body and grinned.
"Oh yeah!" he said "It feels so great! Me back in my own body!"
"Yeah, wonderful, you're back in your own body(!)" Raphael said sarcastically "Now will you get on with it!?"
"For once I agree with Hot head!" Michelangelo said from Donatello's body "Get on with it!"
"Alright, alright!" Tyroth groaned as he looked at the crystal and charged up his mana "Everyone brace yourselves!"
Everyone held their breathes and watched as Tyroth hovered his hands over the crystal, he charged his mana into his hands and looked at the crystal.
"Okay." he said "If I can try and control the magic within the crystal, I can guide all your souls to the right bodies! Wish me luck!"
"Good luck!" said everyone "And it better work!"
"Oh it should." said Tyroth "At least, I hope it will."
"Oh don't say that!" sad Michelangelo "I don't think I could live in someone else's body!"
He soon felt Raphael whack him on he back of the head.
"Shut up Mikey!" he said "Let Big T focus!"
"Both of you! Quiet!" Splinter hissed from Leonardo's body to which Raphael and Michelangelo shut up and stood to attention.
"Please let this work!" Michelangelo whispered under his breath.
Tyroth stared down at the crystal and frowned as he focused his mana on it, and soon began to whisper under his breath.
Everyone else watched, and soon they saw the crystal pulse and it started to light up brightly then Tyroth's mana got brighter too and soon a whole mix of light filled his hands.
"Okay." Tyroth thought "Let's focus, here we go!" he then opened his hands and the mutants saw the blast of light aim straight for them!
They didn't get a chance to duck or even scream as the light hit them and they all fell backwards like a large tidal wave had rushed over them!
"Whoa man!" Michelangelo groaned "That was a hard hit!" he blinked and looked at his hands then at his body.
He then looked at the others who sat up and groaned rubbing their heads and any sore bits they had from the fall.
"Everyone okay?" Leonardo asked, he then grinned as he realised he was in his own body "Hey! It worked! I'm me!"
"Me too!" Raphael cheered.
"I'm back too!" Mona grinned as she hugged Raphael joyfully.
"We're all back in our own bodies!" Donatello said "At least I hope we are!"
"Yep!" Michelangelo confirmed "I'm in me!"
"As am I!" said Splinter as he looked at his furry paws "Although I have to say, it was interesting to feel young again!"
"As was it was interesting to be a girl for a short time!" said Michelangelo.
"Please don't say you enjoyed that!" Sephie groaned as she looked at Michelangelo.
"Um...well..." Michelangelo said sheepishly worried about what he could say without angering the Gecko "well..um..." he blushed hard but Mona just chuckled.
"Never mind that." she said patting Michelangelo's cheek "We're all normal again! That's what matters!"
"And I hope you learnt something too!" Donatello said in a stern voice to his younger brother.
"Oh yeah! You bet I have!" said Michelangelo "Being in someone else's body isn't an experience I wish to repeat again in a hurry!"
"Well, we have Big T to thank for that!" said Raphael "Getting us back to normal!" he looked towards Tyroth who was laying flat on his back and out cold.
"Um...big guy?" he said "You okay?"
The others stared at Tyroth in shock then Sephie gasped in horror.
"Tyroth!" she cried "Oh my God Tyroth!" she ran over and knelt next to him before tapping his cheeks "Tyroth baby!" she cried "Speak to me! Speak to me!"
Lol! Those poor mutants had a bit of an experience trying to find their way back into their own bodies! But at least Tyroth did it at last! yay!
But what's happened to him now? Has he collapsed from exhaustion, or is it something more serious? Find out in the next Chapter!
