Chapter 5: In which Casey is surprised and wonders if he is dreaming
Previously
"What if this doesn't work?" April asked as she put her t-phone back in her pocket. Leo turned to her with a look of uncertainty. "I'm not sure. Let's just hope that this works…" he responded quietly.
As they were all waiting for Casey and the pizzas, Mikey was playing with ice cream kitty, who was doing the licking instead when Mikey suddenly said cheerfully "We could always use some of Donnie's sciency stuff in his lab to wake him up!" Raph looked at him like he had water ballooned him. "Are you out of you mind?! Only Donnie knows how to handle most of those things in there!" "Yeah, let's leave Donnie's lab alone," Leo said calmly "Remember last time you went in there? I'm still finding burned sludge and black slime everywhere."
Mikey shrugged and replied "Eh, it wasn't that bad…" Leo shook his head. "Mikey, Donnie was so mad at you, even I was scared!" Raph snapped. "Donnie's lab is off limits until he is woken up." Mikey laughed "You were only scared because Donnie was threatening you with a cockroach." Raph growled and said as his hands covered with flames once more "I'll show you scared!" and dove for Mikey.
Mikey seeing this coming, immediately dodged the attempt. Missing Mikey, Raph landed into the sewer water that was behind the orange-masked turtle. Leo seeing this turned and said to his annoying baby brother "Mikey, I'll give you one good piece of advice that will help you and might enable you to live a little longer." "What?" Mikey asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Run." Leo said simply. Mikey turned to see Raph climbing out of the pool. "You are so dead turtle." He said with water dripping from him, eyes burning with fury. With a small squeak, Mikey dashed into the dark hall and disappeared into his room.
"Hey you guys!" A voice called out from the front. "What's up?" "In here Casey, you got the pizza?" Raph called out to the voice. "Yep, I got the chow you asked for Red." it called back to them. "Hawaiian and Meat lover..."Casey said as he walked in, then stopped in surprise "What happened here? The foot clan invaded and you didn't invite me!?" Casey stood slightly stunned by the half burned lair. Leo sighed as he looked towards the unconscious Donatello on the sofa "It's a long story," he explained. Casey laughed as he saw Donnie on the sofa as well "Brainiac finally knock himself out with one of his experiments?" "Yeah, quite literally too." Raph answered. "We're hoping that the pizza will revive him. It works with Mikey and me."
Casey looked puzzled. "Why? What happened on that recon mission you guys planned?" Casey asked them. "Well, we discovered that the Kraang had developed a new mutagen entirely." Casey's eyes grew wide. "A different mutagen?" he said with surprise in his voice. "Yeah, we decided to sabotage their new mutagen supply and erase their work, because whatever they have planned cannot be good. Anyway, they had that place locked up tighter than we thought and before Donnie could finish,, he was zapped by one of their lasers and threw into the mutagen canisters. Donnie and the rest of us were somehow exposed to the stuff. We need Don to analyze the new mutagen and find out what effects it had on us."
"You guys were exposed to the new mutagen!? How come you don't look, you know, different?" Casey gestured towards them. "It is a different kind of mutagen after all. It affected us in a different way." Leo said calmly. Then Leo held his hand up towards Casey and focused on him. Slowly Casey rose off the ground. "Whaaaa!" Casey yelled as his feet left the ground. "How are you doing that?" Casey said in disbelief. "It just happened. Different things are happening to all of us." Leo explained to the shocked teen as he lowered him back to the ground. "Well April wasn't affected, but Donnie got full blast of it." he added. Raph said "I don't know about you but I"m getting a little bit worried. Donnie getting full blast of the mutagen and he hasn't shown the slightest bit of powers or waking up yet." "Yeah, we should try to arouse him now." April said.
Mikey jumped out from his room and said quickly "I'll wake him!" and quickly snagged a pizza slice from Casey, who was still holding the hot pizzas. Slowly, Mikey waved the slice he stole in front of Donatello's face. "Don't worry guys," Mikey assured them. "This always works!" "Famous last words..."Raph muttered. "Well, its only worked on you and sometimes Raph." corrected Raph. Continuing to wave the pizza in Donnie's face, Mikey started to get bored again. "Guys," Mikey whined to his older brothers, "It is not working, we need Plan B!" "Do we have a plan B?" Raph asked to the others. Mikey shoved the slice into his mouth after the failed wake up attempt, and said "How could anyone not want a slice of pizza?" "Well, that was a bust." April said and sat next to Donnie.
Then April's eyes lit up with an idea. "Hey, maybe I can try and wake him. Last time, I manage to reach your minds when I was trying to wake you up from the Dream Beavers. Maybe it will wake him this time since he's not being control or anything like that..." She explained to them. Leo nodded in agreement "You might be right, I say go for it" he said. Casey frowned "Hey we could always try...well, you know..." "You're not worried, are you?" Raph teased. "No!" Casey said quickly "April, do it!" April placed her hands on each side of Donatello's head. "Hopefully this works" she thought to herself. And slowly she focused herself into his mind.
