Suddenly Leo felt a big thrust and was slammed into the wall. "Ow!" Leo replied. "What's happening?" Mikey panicked. Then he too was sent flying by the invisible force. Raph alarmed by this dove behind the couch. "Okay you! Show yourself!" Casey yelled to no one in particular. Casey was then lifted off his feet and then felt something tightly around his neck. "Ahhh!" Casey screamed. April looked around wide-eye. Then she felt like she knew what was causing all this chaos. "Donnie, please get up..." she whispered into Donnie's ear. Then Casey was finally dropped, landing on Raphael. "Come on!" Raph complained.
Slowly Donnie opened his eyes.
Slowly Donnie opened his eyes. Leo, Raph, Casey, and Mikey were all in a heap from Leo and Casey landing on them. Groaning and rubbing his head, Donnie sat up sluggishly and spoke "What happened? And why are you guys dog-piled on each other?" They all looked at each other and quickly detangled themselves.
April spoke to Donnie saying "Are you okay Donnie? You were out cold for a while." Donnie replied "I don't know; I have this huge headache and its not helping that Mikey keeps yelling 'pizza' every few seconds." Leo looked at Mikey who was for a change not saying anything at the moment and then looked at Donnie worriedly. "Uh Don, Mikey isn't saying anything." He said. "I think that the mutagen might have warped his brain!" Raph said. Donnie glared at Raph and replied to the hot-head "I am not crazy and I am not as dumb as Mikey now!" Raph looked startled and yelled "How did you know that I was thinking that!?" Donnie jumped up off the couch as he gasped in surprise, "Why are you even thinking about that?" Donnie yelled at Raph. As Leo watched this, he thought "If I didn't know better, I'd say its as if Donnie is reading our minds."
"What? I'm reading your minds?" Donnie yelled in surprise as he received this. As Donnie said this, Raph was thrust into the T.V. "AHH!" Raph yelled as he slammed into the now really demolished object. "Yep, and it seems you might have telepathy." Leo observed the demolition. "Ughh," Donnie said grabbing his head; the pizza which was now on the floor was sent sailing right into Casey's face. Splat! "Eww, you did that on purpose!" Casey fumed as he peeled the pizzas off his face. Donnie glared at him and snapped "No I didn't!" as he sat down again, still holding his head. "My head is killing me right now..." Then Donnie's eyes started to glow light blue. "Ahh," Donnie started to panic "Hit the deck!" Mikey yelled as he dove behind April. Everyone except Donnie, took a cautious step back away from the glowing-eyed turtle. Donnie, who was starting to panic a bit, unconsciously started to lift everyone around him once more. "Whoa-ah!" they said as they felt themselves being lifted up and spun around, like a mini tornado. Leo looked to Raph and said "Donnie's must be losing control, we need to find a way to calm him down!" "Yeah" Raph agreed "before he trashes the lair."
"Uh Raph," Mikey spoke up "You kind of already did that..." Raph growled and his hands set aflame once more as he tried to grab Mikey. "Whoa" Mikey said as he ducked in surprise narrowly missing the flaming turtle's clutches. "Guys focus!" Leo snapped to the quarreling turtles. "Leo is right" Casey said looking a little green and nauseous, "so whatever you do, do it fast! Now, because I feel like I'm going to..." Casey broke off as he put his hand to his mouth. Mikey laughed as he said " Wow, I didn't know humans could turn green like that!"
"I might be able to help" April shouted to Leo as it got even windier. "Donnie" April shouted. "You need to stop!" "April!" Donnie looked up still in wide-eye panic as his eyes continued to glow. "I don't know! I can't control..." "Yes you can!" April shouted back to him. "Just pause and focus your mind! Relax!" Donnie nodded and closed his eyes.
Then suddenly a flash of energy was sent from Donnie and the threes turtles, April, and a very green Casey Jones were sent flying. Leo, thinking fast, focused his newly found ability and caught himself and April before landing on the sharp remains of the T.V. Mikey was sent flying in the closet and Raph and Casey were dropped into the sewer water pool. "Whoa!" April said as Leo grabbed her and lowered themselves back onto the floor, "Looks like you're getting the hang of your powers Leo!" She said to him. "A good thing too..." Leo replied back.
"Sorry..." Donnie apologized, "I...wait, did you say that Leo has powers as well?"he questioned with a puzzled look. "Yeah," April said to Donnie, "We were all exposed to the new mutagen the kraang had developed," Leo inputted. "Hmm" Donnie said, "what kind of symptoms do you all have?" "Well, Mikey said that he had itchy burning skin," April started. "And Raph past out after having a really bad fever."
"Ok," Donnie said, "What about you?" "My hands were just really tingly or itchy or something..." "What about you Raph?" Donnie asked as he turned to the turtle who was currently helping Casey out of the sludge. Raph turned towards Donnie, accidently dropping Casey back into the pool (Splash! "Hey!") and answered "My hands and head caught on fire, but it didn't hurt. But that was after I passed out from a fever, I think..." Raph reached for Casey once more and continued "I only got some of what was on Mikey, splashed onto me. When I got hit by Mikey's shaking, I started feeling really cold." Donnie thought deeply about their symptoms.
Then Leo finally spoke up saying, "What's happening to us Don?"
"Well," Donnie started, "I have some suspicions, but I need to see what your 'powers' are. Raph you said that you could go on fire?" Raph smirked as his palms ignited with flames, "Yep" he responded. "What can you do Leo?" Donnie asked the oldest. "It seems like I can make myself lighter than air or something." And then Leo's hands glowed as he rose up off the ground. "It looks like you might be able to control gravity, that's why it looks like your floating." "Whoa" Leo said as he landed on the floor once more, "So it's like telepathy or something?" Donnie shook his head, "No, telepathy is way more complicated. It's like a whole bunch of other things added to it at once. What you have is like being able to lift things up and down. Thus, controlling their gravity." "Ohh,"Leo responded looking a little confused from the long explanation.
"What about me?" Mikey shouted excitedly, "What's my power?" "It's obvious isn't it, you can shapeshift into things you have already touched." "Whoa!" Mikey said with big eyes, "You mean I could turn into Raph or someone else if I wanted to?" Donnie replied after thinking for a moment. "Yeah probably, but you might need to concentrate or something, I don't know! What am I? An expert on super powers?" he said looking annoyed. "Whoa, Big D, it was just a question." Mikey said. Raph said "Wait, if Mikey only turns into things that he already touch, then..." Raph paused and then growled at Mikey and started after him once more, yelling "It was you who ate my Jell-o!" The angry turtle started after the guilty turtle and chased him around the lair and setting things a blaze once more.
After Raph and Mikey finally stopped running around the lair after a good while and the sofa fire (which Raph set on fire after missing Mikey) was put out; Leo got up suddenly. "I just remembered," he said "We grabbed a sample of the strange mutagen. I think it's still in the Shellrazer." Then he dashed out to get it. Donnie's face brighten. "Perfect!" he exclaimed, "I could find out what made it affect us like this."
Casey spoke up, finally out of the sewer water, "Do you think that you could find a cure for this?" he asked. Donnie's face fell, "I do remember seeing what some of the things were in the stuff," he explained, "From that list it looks like, well... I think that this may be permanent." Raph's head jerked up as he heard this. "What!? What do you mean!? You're not saying that..." Donnie looked at him "Yes I am Raph, I think that we might be stuck like this forever!"
What will happen to the guys? What will Master Splinter think of all this? Stay tuned for the next chap...
Raph (interrupts): What!? You can't end the chapter like that!
Mikey: Yeah, I want to know if I turn into pizza!
Raph: Why would you want to turn into something that you just ate? That's wrong Mikey..."
Mikey: whispers...Says the hot-head...
Raph: What did you just say!? I'll show you hot-head! (Chases after Mikey with his hands flaming)
Silverwings00: Sorry, due to Mikey provoking a certain hot-headed turtle...(Raph yells to Silverwings00: I'm not Hot-headed!" and starts after Silverwings00) Silverwings00's eyes grow wide...We'llhavetocutthisshortbye!
