I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Tiger Claw
Big Mama through a vase, in rage, it shattered with an audible sound as it hit the wall. "He's refusing to fight!? It's Lou Jutsu all over again!" she snarled then huffed calming herself down. "The unnecessary Frizzle Wizzle!" she growled.
"Yeah but at least Lou Jutsu had the decency to be calm about it." The Red Fox Yokai grumbled as he rubbed his cheek where Attila had punched him. "But there's been something I wanted to talk to you about. The Magic Resin, it was applied an hour before you gave the order."
"What?" Big Mama said her anger giving way to curiosity. "You're sure?"
"Affirmative Big Mama, I went to treat him myself. And his shell was already repaired." The Red Fox replied.
The Spider Yokai hummed in her human form which she had kept intact despite her rage. She thought for a moment having seen the little turtle hit Tiger Claw before running into her. She thought of something. "Keep an eye on Tiger Claw." She said darkly.
Attila in his cell had been in there for a week or so he lost count. But every day they tried to get him in that awful ring and every day he refused, so he believed he could keep some count from that. But he had to get out today. It took him a while but he had figured out how to climb to the top of the room and with some practice he could hold his position up there for a bit. He listened and began to hear footsteps coming towards his cell immediately he began climbing and plastered himself to the ceiling watching as a frog Yokai came in the minute he did he gasped dropping the food meant for him and looking around. Attila then dropped down and kneed the Frog in the back of the head knocking him out. He rushed out into the hallways.
He could hear vicious cheering and howls of pain from the arena ahead of him. He went into the large hallways that surrounded the arena. He couldn't find an exit anywhere and was starting to get anxious. He heard more footsteps louder ones he gasped and looked around seeing a nearby door with 'Do not Enter' on it. He grabbed the knob and twisted it. It opened a surge of hope filled his heart as he entered and shut the door. It was an apartment. It was pretty basic red and white with gold patterns with a couch, in a living room and a path to a bed room and a kitchen. He gasped when he heard the door knob turn again and dove behind the couch retracting into his shell. He watched seeing large white paws enter the room with black stripes hidden slightly under the pant legs.
"Why him?! Why!?" Attila groaned in his thoughts realizing it was the Tiger Yokai from before.

It turned out those strange bugs that had been unleashed from Draxum's lab were responsible for the mutants they had been encountering. Repo Mantis as Leo had been calling him. Todd and the Cockroach gang, Meat Sweats who had tried to eat Donnie which oddly enough was the same night Raph and Leo gave him a seven hour lecture on the evils of shock collars. And Hypno-Potamus who he kind of broke the heart of; was he forgetting something though? Oh yeah the Silver Fish! Anyway they needed to catch those Oozequitos before they mutated more people.
"The News said this Hotel is full of Oozequitos so let's get down to business!" Raph shouted as they arrived at the hotel people running out. They quickly rushed in getting into battle stances in their hazmat disguises which were armored suits Donnie made. Each with their signature color and spikes in Raph's case with no bug stickers they put on before coming here.
"Alright bugs!" Raph said as he readied the badminton racket he held. Glaring down on Oozequito who got close with its grey body and large transparent purple wings, "it's just you and us!"
"And me, I'm here too!" popped out a persnickety looking Bell Hop said popping out. From behind the counter, somehow he had avoided getting mutated, Leo jumped into action as the face man.
"Do not fear sir! We are unlicensed amateurs and we have the situation mildly under control!" Leo assured.
"Ick! You're skin's all green!" the Bellhop said pointing at Leo's face.
"Relax, sir it's perfectly normal side effect of all the chemicals we use!" Leo said going back to his brothers for a team meeting.
"Okay now, remember the plan, catch, smash, zap, smash, gas! Bash, SMASH!" Raph declared fist pumping as he stood though some potted plant was hit and started flying off the table. The Bellhop expertly leapt out and caught it holding it tightly.
"Don't break anything!" he scolded at them Raph especially. "The Boss will have my hide!" he snapped placing it down. As he did though a few of the bugs began swarming him, he screamed flailing wildly as he tried to slap them away but they were too fast.
"I say we revise Raph's plan so this guy doesn't get mutated," Leo said jabbing his thumb at the Bell Hop.
"Stick to the plan!" Raph argued. "If we stop the bugs nobody gets mutated." He shouted as he rushed towards a couple that were buzzing near the wall he swung as wildly as he could but they were expertly dodging him as he caused a couple more vases to fly which the Bell Hop caught.
"No stop! Gentle! Gentle!" he shouted. Raph tipped toed in response to seeing one on the nearby statue he reared back his arm powerfully, the Bell Hop gasped and ran out putting himself between Raph and Statue but the Oozequito was already gone and the Bell Hop got zapped instead. "Not me the bugs!" he snapped at Raph who winced in response apologetically.
Leo had grabbed out the gas hose and was letting the gas flow freely as he grabbed the Bell Hop who started to thrash in fear. "Get behind me! My trusty cloud of noxious gas will save you!" he declared heroically as the Bell Hop gasped for clean air.
"Leo you're wasting it we need that for the bugs!" Raph shouted.
"I'm protecting this guy!" Leo argued glaring at his brother who glared back. The two then began physically fighting the Bell Hop getting caught between them.
Meanwhile Donnie was readying a capture orb at one of the Oozequitos as he eyed it carefully. "Alright Bugs check out time is now O' Clock!" he said throwing the orb as it successfully and catching it. "Yess!" he said with a slight hiss and fist pump. He ran over and picked it up letting out a laugh as he glared down at the trapped Oozequito who then started rapidly slamming into the orb breaking it to Donnie's shock before he heard his two brothers tussle behind them.
He turned to see a spinning ball of red and blue crash into him hitting a panel on his suit which trapped them all in a large trap orb. It then bounced like a pinball all over the lobby before finally slowing down and rolling slowly across the floor.
"Plan, is really coming together Raph." Leo muttered sarcastically as the Bell Hop had sighed in relief they had stopped and nothing had broken. He dusted a potted plant he gently placed back on the counter only to feel a sudden burst of pain that seemed to spread through his very veins.
"Oh! Oh that's Odd, NO NOOOOOO!" he shrieked as he began changing his legs becoming much more thick same with the rest of his body as it sprouted fur and his face contorted into that of a Bull. He let out a roar as his coat split open. Big Mama had been watching from the security room.
"Oh so that's how it happens." She muttered interested. "His love of Beef jerky was his downfall." She said as she watched the Mutant thrash and crash all over the place knocking over several vases and furniture as he screamed.
"Ahhh no! Leo, if you had just listened to me, we would've gotten the bugs smashed!" the Red one snapped.
"We did listen to you Raph and that persnickety guy was ironically mutated into a clumsy bull!" 'Leo' snapped.
"How about we continue this classic Raph Leo argument outside the trap!" the purple one said. She turned at the sound of beeping as she headed out.
"Time to greet the Turtley-boos." She muttered sinisterly to herself.

Before they could leave the elevator dinged, and they turned to see a woman at the top of the nearby steps. "Crap!" Leo thought. Although he wasn't expecting a bunch of the workers to roll out a red carpet for who he was guessing was the Hotel owner. Which was classy, but that wasn't going to save them.
She then had her people carry her down the stairs she expertly jumped off and landed at her feet. And looked around like a kid looking at a mall for the first time. "Well you've turned my Hotel into quite the fizzy winkle!" she declared in a British accent.
"You sure that was us?" Raph asked trying to play it cool. "I'll tell you what; we totally human exterminators. Will wave our usual fee and-"
"Don't fret," the woman said cutting him off. "My people will sort this out crackadoo!" she declared clapping her hands as many workers then sprung, into action. Some even coming out of the vents, Leo was finding the timing of all this and her attitude a bit too convenient.
"Well since you have this situation under control. We'll be heading back to our human office like humans do!" he assured.
"No need for flim-flam." She replied. "You're amongst your own kind." She assured with a clap of her hands all the workers had pressed their badges and were suddenly turning into all kinds of mutants. The three gasped as they retracted their suits.
"Wait, Mutants can work here!?" Leo asked in disbelief.
"Mutant? What strange words you use." The Woman replied. "We prefer to call ourselves Yokai." She turned waving them along. "Come I'll give you the grand tour!" she replied. This felt too good to be true.
"Okay anyone else think we shouldn't follow a stranger we just met, into who knows what now?" Leo asked. Raph just groaned rolling his eyes still annoyed from earlier.
"She's a nice lady, Leo what's not to trust?" Raph asked as they piled onto the Elevator to see a small bird like Yokai with Octopus legs.
"Yokai level 5 please." She said to the Elevator operator.
"Yes Big Mama!" the Yokai said cheerfully. "Welcome Gentle turtles to the best hotel in town!" he said with a bow unleashing some magic that changed the inside of the elevator the ceiling now had an eye in green and gold tile with the corners being made of carved jade and various pictures of the Hidden city among blue crystal on the walls. His brothers were impressed, Leo was wondering about the eye and where they were going.
He then pushed the level in which changed the symbols to ones Leo didn't recognize before pulling it to change it to level five as Big Mama called it. After a few minutes the elevator door opened again revealing more columns of jade in gold among red walls as they came out to a restaurant area with various mutants sitting eating and talking. Big Mama spreading out her arms as she led them to present the room.
"Whooaaaaa," Donnie muttered.
"Awesome, did Draxum create everyone in here?" Raph asked, finally a reasonable question!
"Draxum? Whatever is a Draxum?" Big Mama asked innocently. There was no way someone as rich as here with this quote best Hotel in town where many Yokai were going to hang out or gossip or just rich people being in the know about everything in general?! Bull Crap.
"I'm sorry," Leo began expressing his skepticism and disbelief. "You've never heard of Baron Draxum!? Tall, ugly goat dude with talking gargoyles for shoulder pads, and his fire spinning ninja lackey?! Likes to make Mutants in his spare time?! None of this is ringin' a bell?" he grilled getting more suspicious and ignoring the glares Raph and Donnie were giving him.
"Hmmm sounds fascinating, no." Big Mama replied quickly. "We Yokai have existed for thousands of Eons! Many live in the Hidden City there are places like it around the world. But my Hotel gives them a chance to kick up their flippers and stretch out their Hollydoos!" Big Mama said stretching herself to emphasize her point. She tapped on a wall that lit up before revealing another path into a Sporting lounge.
Donnie and Raph were chatting impressed with the large yellow room with a bar and food. The Scent of Alcohol was strong, strong enough to make Leo wonder how many of the Yokai in here were sloppy ass drunk. He glanced over to see one Yokai in the ring impale his opponent in a way that made Leo turn away in horror. It made him glare at Big Mama's back.
With Huggin and Muggin, they were relaxing while scoping out why all of the Oozequitos had been coming to the Nexus Hotel that connected to the battle Nexus. There were also rumors that Attila was there as well so hopefully they could find him and bring him back to Draxum. Huggin looked over and saw three familiar turtles. He quickly shook Muggin.
"Hey, do those Turtles look familiar to you?" He asked. Muggin looked at them and tilted his head.
"I think they do, but I can't be sure." He replied.
"Well that's what familiar means." Huggin replied lowering an eyebrow changing the shape of one of his red eyes. "I think they're the ones who exploded Boss' lab. And let all his Oozequitos loose."
"Oh yeah!" Muggin said lights going on in his head. "I thought I just knew them from spin class!" Huggin sighed face palming, as they began shadowing them all.

"Give her our blood types, address and life stories why, don't ya Donnie?" Leo growled in his thoughts as his twin basically gave Big Mama all information about what had been going on. Their encounter with Draxum as well as profiles of all the Mutants they had met including Todd, and the Silent G's.
"So this Draxum's Oozquietoes," Big Mama began pronouncing it wrong. "Are causing quite the tissle-tassel by creating all these new Mutants." She finished as she played the data on the Flash Drive Donnie gave her. The windows were replaced by their screens lighting up showing off the Mutants they had encountered so far. Including a worm one Leo didn't recognize. "Oh so troubling gives us Yokai a bad name. I prefer to keep a low profile." She replied. Leo looked at her skeptically as she continued. "Excuse me while I slip into something a little more comfortable." She replied as purple magic began to swirl around her not unlike the magic that had spun around her staff when she pressed her broach.
"Uh oh," Leo muttered as they heard a screech and finding a large spider monster and an ugly one at that, in Big Mama's place. But bits and pieces of her resembled her.
"Mutant Arachnid/Spider Lady!" Raph and Donnie yelled as Leo grinned.
"I knew it!" Leo said having bet with himself that her Yokai form was ugly. "Not that specifically but there had to be something!" he declared with a slight shrug.
"I see my True form shocks you," Said the Spider in Big Mama's voice yet slightly more monstrous so it was definitely her. She pouted looking hurt at Leo's comment.
"You would hurt a nice Spider Lady's feelings wouldn't ya Leo?" Raph growled.
"For shame Leonardo; for shame," Donnie scolded.
"You know come to think of it," Big Mama suggested. "Perhaps my webs could be of use in catching the bugs. I have no means to splort them around town. But surely a clever genius like you can create a clever device to use them to capture the bugs."
"Okay I know what you're doing," Donnie began. "You're just trying to flatter me."
"He didn't go into detail about that how much does she-"Leo began to think to himself before Donnie spoke out grinning brightly.
"With the truth and its working!" he cheered happily. Leo suddenly wished Dad complimented them all more.
"Well then," Big Mama said smirking. "Allow me!" she said backing up while tossing a bucket at Donnie who looked at it before looking up at Big Mama who began to dry heave before rearing back as literally vomited a huge stream of webbing at Donnie that shot him back and stuck him to the wall with a full bucket. Leo felt his stomach churn as he let out an 'ew,' and he knew Donnie was in his own personal Hell.
"As fascinating- hrrg-as it is-hrrg-hideous!" he said between dry heaves. "Ooohh I hate it!" he said peeling off the wall to the floor. Raph let out a sound of displeasure as well before they turned to Big Mama who was casually wiping her mouth.
"Once you capture the Oozquietoes, bring them to me and I'll safely return them to the Hidden City." She told them.
"You've got yourself a deal!" Raph replied with a grin he chuckled as Leo looked at him in disbelief before rushing over to get close to his brother and whispered.
"Raph! What are we getting into?! In case you haven't noticed; these mystic types have a nasty habit of trying to kill us!" He hissed.
"You're being crazy; she's helping us catch the Oozequitos. Don't look a gift spider in the mouth." Raph assured.
"Never look her in the mmm-mouth!" Donnie muttered trembling in disgust covered in webbing.

They had spent the next day driving around having Leo tied to the roof of the Turtle tank holding a big tank of Carbon Dioxide. Donnie with his new device, which he had worked on all night radioed into the Turtle tank where Raph was driving.
"I looked it up! Bitey bugs or Phylum Arthropoda, are attracted to Carbon Dioxide!" Donnie said from his Radio.
"Leo let it loose!" Raph commanded from below. Leo sighed turning the knob on the tank he was strapped too. "Fire Up the bug slapper!" he added as Donnie raced from the Roof tops above. He was holding a small brief case like device that had their logo on the front.
"Genius powers go!" he shouted throwing the case with a spin it suddenly morphed into a purple hover bike with various targeting devices and a hole for the shooter at its base at the front. Donnie zoomed after the Oozequito that was attracted laughing as he pulled down his goggles to aim; the gun coming out as he shot web at it. It dodged. "Chordata!" he shouted as he chased it towards where he had laid a large web. But it veered up he got worried scared he was accelerating too fast as he attempted to do the same and just managed to do so, catching up with the Oozequito.
"Eat silk bug eyes!" he shouted finally landing a hit as the bug was plastered to a lamp post. "Dead-eye Donnie shoots and touch down! Or insert correct sports reference!" he said realizing he may have messed up that last part.
They were unaware of the gargoyles watching. "Hoo, Barron Draxum is not gonna like that," Huggin said.
"Dibs not telling him! No you tell him! Jinx you owe me a Corn Dog! You tell him, no takebacks!" he argued at the same time glaring before sighing "Fine we'll tell him together!" they said flying off.
The Turtles spent the rest of the day catching Oozequitos as well as accidentally webbing a pro basketball player a cantaloupe and some cabbages. But mostly Donnie had been gathering a lot until the large jar they had were full of Oozequitos. "Boo to the yeah! Another Oozequito! You know Big Mama was smart to believe in me because I am killing it!" he said proud of the large web glittering in the light of the struggling Oozequitos wildly.
Raph grinned at the large jar that was now full and glowing bright green. "Nice work team we must have got a hundred of them! Good thing we didn't do Leo's idea of being afraid of Spiders." He said with a chuckle.
"I don't know I still don't trust her!" Leo shouted. They arrived at the Battle Nexus and went to the Elevator where they were greeted by a large Owl Yokai that even looked strong enough to overpower Raph. He glared down at them.
"So other guy's day off?" Leo asked non-Challantantly while red flags were going off in his head as he played cool. The Owl grunted and let them on they had stopped along the way to the top floor to let on a large Polar bear and Seal Yokai they were large and taking up all the space Leo tried to move but couldn't while his brother's hummed.
When they got to the top floor Leo found the place dark and covered in webs now extremely foreboding. He had managed to squeeze to the back of the Elevator without being noticed and watched as Raph and Donnie went on ahead.
"Greeny-boos!" called Big Mama coming down from a string of web looking down on them. "Gifts for Big Mama?" she asked sweetly as Leo saw a bunch of the Bell Hops and more that had been in the room gather around his brothers as Raph proudly lifted the jar.
"Oozequitos!" he declared. "But we're almost out of web goo." He added.
"Fantumptous!" Big Mama declared gleefully. "And Look at that marvelous device you've built me!" she said going into examine Donnie's invention.
"Her?! Crimson!" Leo muttered in his thoughts eyes widening.
"Oh glad you like it!" Donnie replied politely. "But uh actually it's mine. And why are your extra-large Bell Hops standing so close to us all of a sudden!?" Donnie asked as Raph had the jar snatched from him to his surprise.
"Oh they'll just be taking those bugs and your device!" she said sinisterly. Leo groaned inwardly. "My Battle Nexus thanks you!"
"Wait a minute you run that Barbaric Battle Nexus?!" Raph asked.
"Called it!" Leo thought from the Elevator as he could only see Raph's head poking out.
"Yesss Big Mama's kind of the Bee's knees down in the Hidden city." She admitted. "You see the pickings have gotten a little slim lately." She said showing the Bell Hop from before battling it out with another thin Yokai. And with these Oozequietoes, I'll be creating wondrous Warrior Mutants! Who will be more exciting than ever!" She said laughing. "And I'll be putting you boys to work in my Battle Nexus as well."
"Absolutely not, we will not be fighting for you!" Donnie snapped.
Big Mama scoffed a laugh. "Heaven's no you'll be my bumbling arena clowns!"
"I take offense to that!" Raph snapped.
"As do I! But as I said, we will not be doing anything for you!" he said reading his tech-bo as one of the Bell Hops threw out a peel that Donnie slipped on and crashed into Raph who fell on top of him as Big Mama laughed.
"Okay Leo, I admit it you were right! You. Were. Right! Leo? Leo, where are you!?" he asked as Leo rapidly pressed the button on the elevator door and it closed as he pressed himself as flat as his shell would allow against the sides.
"Find the blue one!" Big Mama shouted as a bunch of Yokai rushed out towards the elevator two large ones pinning them down and casting a spell that made glowing chains appear that pinned their arms behind them much to Donnie discomfort. "Wait!" Big Mama said changing her mind. "I have a better idea! Ohhh Gusssss!"
"Gus what kind of mutant is named Gus?" Donnie asked as large rapid footsteps rushed towards them. As a wall lifted and a barred gate opened standing there waiting was a large brown Dog like Yokai with razor sharp teeth and claws with a collar that snarled as he got close to the turtles before sniffing them and howling.
"Eyyup that's a Gus," Raph muttered fearfully.
"Dude!" he said going over to face Big Mama, "If this is about chewing all those slippers? I totally didn't do it!" he said pleadingly putting his paws together above his head.
"Never mind the stupid slippers!" Big Mama snapped. "Get their scent and find the missing Turtle!"
"On it Brah!" Gus stated sniffing them intensely before letting out a howl and letting the tufts of fur all over him and his ears point and harden as Raph saw two of his teeth jutted out like tusks as he rushed out after Leo as Big Mama handed one of her Bell Hops Donnie's device.
"Put this splendiferously ingenious contrapulation in my safe!" She ordered.
"I'm flattered yet, much betrayed!" Donnie muttered.
"Take these charming young clowns to the battle Nexus gateway!" Big Mama said as the Bell Hops gathered around the two.
Leo meanwhile was no climbing into the vents. "Come to the Mutant Hotel we'll get together have a few laughs!" he growled as he crawled through. "I knew we couldn't trust Spider-Lady!" he said before he felt light hit the side of his eyes. He looked over to see the Polar Bear Mutant stick his fingers in the nearby wall which revealed under an illusion a large safe. Then he entered a simple yet long combo of one repeating. Leo got an idea as he watched the Bear place the two items into the safe then leave after changing one of the keys back to zero.
"I can't wait to save Raph so I can rub it in his face." Leo said to himself grinning. As he saw a place a place that would get him back down to level five where his brothers were being taken. He saw a Yokai mutter hatefully about his job once he left Leo jumped down and opened the chute door and smelt the laundry from down below. "Ewww Dirty Yokai Laundry this is not gonna be fun! Those guys are gonna owe me!" he jumped in then, Leo screamed as he bounced around the chute as he fell into the dirty laundry below and pulled himself out, dirty underwear now on his head. "Uhhggg I was gonna tell myself this was a T-shirt." He whined using two fingers to pull it away from his face but the waist band slipped over his fingers and back onto his face causing Leo to recoil and fall back in both pain and disgust.

It had been a day a whole freaking day! But finally The Tiger had stopped walking around his apartment and cramming stuff into a mystic bag that could store an infinite number of items and started to sleep on the couch. Once he heard a slight snore that sounded like a low moo from him Attila saw his chance. He began to sneak out tip toing but something caught his eye. It was a Katana the hilt was in the shape of a lotus the blade itself was two colors black and green. The bottom half was in the shape of a Dragon surging up the blade to a sun at the tip that was gold. Attila wasn't sure who had made it like that or how. He also noticed strange symbols on the thing they weren't quite like the ones the Yokai of the hidden city used he reached for it to get a closer look only for something to rush over grab his extending hand and turn him around.
"DON'T TOUCH THAT! NEVER TOUCH THAT SWORD!" the Tiger Yokai screamed at him. Attila screamed and punched him in the nose as hard as he could. The Yokai blinked he took a breath and stared at the small turtle blankly.
"Was that supposed to hurt?" he asked flatly.
"Yes!" Attila muttered his head practically in his shell.
"What are you doing in here?" the Tiger asked calming down letting Attila's wrist go. He was surprised it wasn't hurting like when Draxum did that.
"I just want to find my Kitty please let me go!" Attila begged tearing up.
"Relax, believe it or not, I'm a prisoner here too." He replied.
"How?" Attila asked.
"When you attacked me yesterday you broke a collar that had been controlling me." The Tiger replied. "It makes me obey but I was aware of everything." he muttered sadly.
"She was controlling you for how long!?" Attila cried.
"Too long," The Tiger muttered rubbing his neck Attila could see it was scarred where the Collar had been. He sighed. "Sorry about screaming that sword is very important to me." He muttered Attila looked at him sympathetically.
"I didn't know swords could be art." Attila muttered at the Sword's beauty.
"Well now you know." The Tiger replied sheathing it and putting it on his back, suddenly a yellow light they looked up. A crystal was glowing.
"The Gate's open! I can smuggle you out to New York." The Tiger said grabbing him Attila jumped away.
"I can't leave the Hidden City not without Klunk!" He argued.
"Your cat?" The Yokai asked with an arched eyebrow. Immediately Attila pulled out the picture he had and showed him. He looked it over.
"Those, little stooges, of Draxum, I saw them take a cat just like this and dump it in a portal to the surface the other day!" The Tiger muttered.
"That was Klunk!" Attila said gasping. "I have to get out of here and find her!"
"Then let's go!" he said as he pulled Attila along out the door and down the hall. Attila yelped as he couldn't keep up. When he realized he was doing he slowed down and let go. "Don't lose sight of me." He muttered as the staff, were starting to run around panicked like they were looking for something.
"This is gonna be tricky…" He muttered as he eyed each Bell Hop carefully and he and Attila carefully weaved around them and made it out into a door way to the ring. "It's on the other side."
Attila took a breath "Uhhh Mr.-"
"Tiger Claw." He replied quickly as he waited for the Limb retriever to leave.
"Uhh Tiger Claw, why did you, work for Big Mama in the first place. You don't seem bad like the other Yokai here. Angry maybe but-"
"I am, but to answer your question, something happened and I needed to get by. But I found out she was a crime boss when I tried to leave and go to the Hidden City Police, I got caught and had that collar placed on me. That was ten years ago." He muttered Attila stared in horror.
"Come on, don't worry about me!" he said running out Attila not far behind suddenly a magic ring appeared under his feet as crystals swarmed him immediately they began zapping him with magic that was draining his life force as he screamed in sheer agony.
"Tiger Claw!" Attila shouted running over but not being able to get close.
"Big Mama was right," said a voice with an accent like Big Mama's he looked up to see a Red Fox and a Squid Yokai grinning down on them. "You did get out of your collar. Using your cloaking pin to hide that fact was clever. You forgot to put on a show tonight sadly. But it just so happens she has decided your more trouble than your worth. But we appreciate helping track down the little champion."
Attila glared pulling out his Kuro-Sai and readying it as the two jumped down. He dodged out of the way of the Fox's clawed hands and with a twist of his body slammed his foot into the side of his face then used his weapon to tie up the Squid and crash it into the Fox knocking them some ways back. He activated the Mystic Flames and summoned it turning towards the crystal.
"Stop it!" he shouted at the spell the ball at the end and slamming it hard into one of the crystals. In response it shattered he gasped and swung it again hitting the other two as the Yokai charged at him. Attila had to quickly dodge and land a couple more hits on them. One of them tried to grab the weapon and pull Attila towards him but Attila lit it up causing the Fox to scream in pain. The Squid lunged and jumped at Attila who cartwheeled out of the way. Instead the Squid crashed into the crystal and broke it.
"NO!" the Fox shouted as Tiger Claw was now able to force himself to move and punch out the last crystal. With a mighty swing of his arm, he panted a bit before wiping himself with his arm the two Yokai backed away nervously. Tigerclaw handed Attila an orange pin with a magenta diamond in an electric blue rim.
"My cloaking device, get to the portal go through run and don't look back!" Tiger Claw shouted. "Get to human level one and out the door!" he said. "Push the lever into the wall to switch the numbers then, move it to that level it's one click got it?"
"But what about you!?" Attila asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about me I know how to get out on my own." He turned grinning at the now terrified Bell Hops. "Besides you don't want to see this." he said cracking his knuckles and flexing his hands to unsheathe his claws with a murderous grin.
"Tiger Claw old chum!" The Fox muttered suddenly looking very guilty as he and the Squid continued to back away. "Can we talk about this?!" he asked meekly.
"Absolutely not," Tiger replied and roared jumping towards them.
Attila turned as he heard Tiger Claw snarl and snap his jaw with an audible sound as the other two howled and yelped in pain. Attila suddenly smelt some blood. "He was right, I didn't want to see!" he shouted rushing as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Ooohhgg I can't believe we're gonna end up being Rodeo Clowns!" Donnie complained as he and Raph were being lead towards a large yellow door way. Raph gave him a side glare. Giving him a slight shove as they soon faced a large door way with strange pink gunk surrounding it and egg shaped glowing Jade crystals surrounding the large yellow light.
"Here we are gate way to the Battle Nexus. Say good bye to New York Turtles." He said shoving them forward to move. However a laundry cart suddenly pulled up in front of them.
"All right, alright hold up. Laundry bin in the middle of the Hall way?" Asked the Owl Yokai.
"Classic trap!" said the seal said shoving around Raph. "I'll investigate." He said going through the Laundry, and finding nothing everyone was focused on the small cart unaware of Attila poking his head out. "Oh It's Empty I guess we can let our guard down then." he saw as the Owl looked into the cart as Attila flattened himself against the wall and rushed into the hallway. He rushed to the Elevator and opened it up. He was relieved to find no one inside. He quickly shut the door and grabbed the lever.
"Push into the wall, to change the set." He said seeing it was working. "Now human level one with one click," he saw recognizing the one as some sort of elvish writing. The Elevator began to rise Attila didn't dare hope or believe he was safe yet but the ordeal was almost over. He rushed out into more, plain looking lobby. There was a loud crash and a bang.
"What was that?!" Attila asked jumping and turning towards the sound.
"AOOOOH!" he heard turning into the nose of a large Demon Dog Yokai. "You're a Turtle!"
"No I'm not!" Attila squeaked. "I'm a Goat Frog?!" he suggested dumbly.
"Not buying it Yo." The Dog said growling. Attila backed away nervously. He suddenly saw a ball and picked up hoping he liked to play like Klunk did. "See the ball boy."
"Yeah I see the ball!" he replied jumping and panting excitedly for it. "I see the ball, I've gotta get it and bring it back please, please, please!"
"Okay go fetch!" he shouted throwing it amping it up with mystic powers as it crashed the window at the end of one of the Halls open the Dog went after it as Attila rushed out.
"BAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!" The Dog shouted as he and the ball zig zag bounced all the way up two buildings.
Attila rushed outside as fast as he could.

"You're welcome for saving you." Leo replied in their Dog pile having crashed through the floor. He then cut them free with his Odachi.
"If you hadn't left us we could've saved ourselves together." Raph stated.
"What are you insane?! We were out-numbered and muscled we all would've gotten caught!" Leo snapped.
"Children, children!" Donnie said getting between them and pushing them apart. "We need to get the Oozequitos and most importantly my device back!"
Leo calmed down. "Well since we indubitably don't know where they are." He said pressing the button on the elevator.
"Spill the beans Leo!" Raph said pointing at him. "Every time you say indubitably I know you're up to something." He said eyes narrowing.
"Fine," Leo said "Everything is in Big Mama's office." He replied. "And we can risk our lives getting it back right now. But I can't wait till we're safe at home so I can brag about how right I was and how wrong you were." He replied grinning knowing he could get away with it.
"Fine whatever," Raph huffed. "Guys Stealth mode!" he shouted punching his palm.
"Or, stealth mode." Leo replied whispering. When the elevator door opened they poked their heads out to check for anyone. Once it was clear they went inside Donnie holding tightly to his techno-Bo he accidentally pushed over a small kettle which he caught to his relief as Raph loudly shushed him.
Leo hummed looking at the wall trying to figure out where the Polar bear had placed his fingers he saw one picture that stuck out to him with large poorly drawn eyes and tried it. Instantly the wall disappeared, revealing the large golden safe he saw before.
"This calls for the delicate touch of a genius!" Donnie said pushing Leo out of the way and pulling out the saw blade on his techno-Bo. A loud buzzing sound came from it connecting with the thick metal door. "We should be through in a couple of hours!" Donnie shouted to Raph.
"Or we could do this!" Leo said changing the Zero at the end of the combination back to one." The door opened as Raph and Leo gazed in awe. He bowed the way in to them as his older brothers rushed in.
"That's awesome." Raph said as they jumped inside Raph grabbed the jar as Donnie picked up his Bug Slapper and hugged it nuzzling the case.
"Don't worry I came back." he whispered. There was a howl worried for Leo they rushed back outside as glass shattered revealing Gus holding a ball and he looked around.
"Hey!" he said dropping the ball. "I was gotten rid of! By a turtle just like you three!" he snarled turning into his more dangerous form as he snarled at them.
"Oh no, no, no, no dearies this won't do." Big Mama in her human form said spinning her chair to face them. "If there's one rule Big Mama has-"
"Is it forgive and forget?" Leo asked nervously.
"Is it don't chew on the guest slippers?" Raph asked a bit hungry.
"Is it Ohm's Law?" Donnie asked curiously.
"NO!" she shouted in frustration. Before changing into her spider form and hitting them with three bursts of webbing trapping them much to Donnie's disgust, "my rule is no stealing from big Mama!" she sneered as the window burst open to reveal Draxum.
"And my rule is no one steals from me!" Draxum declared with a yell.
"Scramulent to see you again Barron Draxum," Big Mama said to him "But you really must learn to use the dimbly door." She said eyes narrowing pointing at the door.
Draxum merely pointed back to her. "You must learn to use real words!"
"Oh look they know each other!" Leo growled. "If only one of us had seen that coming." he said rolling his eyes.
"You are a poor winner Leo." Raph deadpanned with a lidded glare. Draxum then pointed to the Jar.
"Those are my Property, fetch them my pets!" Draxum ordered as the two Gargoyles laughed rushing for the jar but Gus attacked them; Getting Muggin in his mouth and Huggin under his Foot.
"I need these Bimbally bugs for all those tasty victims! They will mutate for my Battle Nexus!" Big Mama replied.
"Those Oozequitos were made for something much greater than your silly Battle Nexus: An Army that will wipe out Humanity with my Master Piece at its head!" Draxum declared.
"You mean your fire Ninja?" Leo asked. "Kind of scrawny isn't he?" he asked; "Didn't seem like he wanted to fight us as badly as you did."
"You've notice his weakness. No matter, once I figure out how to remove his bleeding Heart, he will be the Greatest Mystic Warrior the World has ever seen."
"You mean my Battle Nexus champion?" Big Mama said. "I believe he is my property now!" she hissed.
"I'd sure hate to be fire Ninja guy right now." Leo thought to himself kind of wishing he hadn't said anything.
Draxum charged both of his arms covered in spear like weapons as he slashed at Big Mama who dodged expertly despite her size. She blocked a hit before landing a kick on his feet and throwing him. Draxum then landed on the wall kicking off it he tried to land a stab as Big Mama dodged again and kicked him away.
Draxum expertly landed on his feet unleashing large vines that chased Big Mama around the room as the Turtles all tumbled. Off to the side. They then saw Big Mama attempt to shoot web and catch Draxum but he managed to grab it and pull her towards him landing a powerful punch knocking her out.
"Quick use my shell the spikes are sticking through," Raph hissed the twins nodded as they did so. But during this time Draxum sent the ball flying with Mystic energy to send Gus far away and he fell for it dropping Muggin and freeing Huggin as they grabbed the Jar.
"Too the Roof, time for us Yokai to begin taking over the surface!" Draxum declared as he changed his vines into a flower and used it to rise to the top of the building as the Trio got free.
"Leo quick, port us to the roof!" Raph shouted.
"There you go telling me what to do again-"Leo began but his mind caught up. "Well actually no, that's a plan I can get behind!" he said using his sword to open a portal at their feet. Both cheered.
"Can we rename today Leo day?" he asked happy with his success as they jumped in before Donnie could follow the Portal immediately closed.
"LEO!" Donnie shouted in frustration. There was a loud bang suddenly Big Mama appeared with a hiss at him. Donnie glared grabbing his device. "This is will teach you to compliment my work! AND GIVE ME MY FIRST POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT FROM A PARENT AGED ADULT EVER!" he shouted activating it and flying around the room he launched a couple of webs at her but she dodged expertly and trying to land a punch on him but he managed to dodge it flying out of the hole Draxum had made for a second before launching a well-placed web at Big Mama's form which sent her flying into her own vault as he flew off.
Big Mama groaned sitting up she heard the vault door moving a little bit she looked up to see Tiger Claw standing in the door way. Giving her the bird with one hand and holding the now broken collar in the other. "Don't you dare!" Big Mama hissed knowing what he was trying to do as he started closing the door with his free hand again. "Tiger Claw! She shouted trying to rush at him. "TIGER CLAW!" She shouted but the door was shut.

"Leon's got it!" Leo shouted from Raph's back grabbing the jar from the gargoyles and landing with a spin. Draxum immediately launched vines at them. They yelped dodging passing the jar to each other but away from the vines that also pawed for it like a Game of Hot Potato. Leo was suddenly sent flying.
"Leo, pass me the Oozequitos!" Raph shouted he did so Raph managed to catch the jar before it hit the ground Leo meanwhile was sent tumbling off the edge only to be grabbed by the head band my Barron Draxum he held onto the tails tightly.
"I already have the best of you, even if I did create the rest of you. I will not hesitate to destroy you!" Draxum said.
"You created who now?!" Leo asked wondering if he heard that right.
"Let my brother go!" Raph growled.
"Not literally!" Leo pointed out to both of them.
"Awww, brotherly loyalty," Draxum mocked rolling his eyes but my bugs are important to you as well. Which will you chose?"
"Give him the bugs! Just give him the bugs!" Leo shouted fearfully flailing.
"I'm not giving him the bugs. These bad guys are all talk he ain't gonna-"
"Okay," Draxum replied simply slightly surprised as he let Leo go.
"NO!" Raph shouted rushing towards the edge.
"WITH MY LAST BREATH I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOO!" Leo shouted from his free fall.
"LEEOOOOOOO!" Raph shouted diving after him.

Attila heard screaming he looked up to see the Leo from before falling towards him following was a large red projection of Mystic power that stretched out it's arm with a powerful punch. Attila stared at the fist rushing towards the ground right where he was standing.
"Look out!" Shouted a voice and Attila felt himself pulled away from the spot. He realized the Purple Turtle had grabbed him when he heard the Red one shout.
"SAVING LIKE A BOSSSSS!" he shouted landing on the ground with a large rumble. The projection looking up and cupping his hands to catch Leo who fell into his hands the projection then popped as they both landed on top of a car.
"Whew thanks Buddy." Leo sighed patting his plastron.
"I'm not sure what I just did, but you're welcome!" Raph replied in relief before they both sat up to see Donnie and Attila.
"Whatcha got there Donnie?" Leo asked pointing to the small being in a mostly black outfit with gold rimmed sleeves a gold horn pattern going down his middle red slippers and white wrappings around his three fingered hands that resembled his own. He had his red mask on again. Donnie just stared.
"My Bug Slappper." He replied simply.
"No the Ninja!" Raph shouted.
"That's Draxum's Fire Ninja!" Leo added. Attila quickly wriggled and back flipped over them landing on his feet.
"Uhhhhh, bye!" he shouted throwing down a smoke bomb and running off leaving the three coughing. As he ran and hid in the Alley way then further out into the back before taking a breath. He suddenly heard buzzing. He climbed up a bit and his blood froze with what he saw. A large glittering plum of lime greens, greys, purples and golds.
The Oozequitos were now free. "Go, mutate the humans!" Draxum shouted pointing out as his Oozequitos obeyed and flew out in different directions in the city.
"Draxum's alive!" Attila muttered fearfully. "He'll look for me!" Attila muttered fearfully. He suddenly heard familiar voices and jumped into a nearby dumpster. He shivered at some of the feelings and smells. But he had to stomach it. He heard the two Gargoyles lightly perch on top of the dumpster and started chit-chatting.
"Can you believe Attila just ditch us after the Lab exploded. You think he wouldn't have done that as it would've pissed Draxum off immensely." Huggin said.
"Yeah I don't think I've ever the boss so furious before." Muggin added Attila hid in his shell just from imagining this. He was shocked at himself for hoping Draxum had died in the blast. The two chatted about this making him feel worse for what seemed like hours before he heard them left. Attila pulled himself out.
"Ewwwwww," he groaned shaking himself he shivered as he pulled his clothes and wrappings off. He sighed looking at the Pin Tiger Claw gave him. Even if he used it they'd still know his outfit anyway, he wondered what to do until he saw a Human pull up with a large basket of clothes in their thing.
He crept over and grabbed a plain orange T-shirt that was large enough to go over his shell comfortably same with the black pants with yellow pockets and rims with useless orange belts on them. He grabbed two orange wrist bands a small Teal shoulder bag and grey high tops with orange laces and black tongues.
He hid away from the Human as he put them on then attached the Pin into the bag and pressed it. Orange Magic began to swirl around him as he felt himself changing slightly. When it cleared he saw something jutting out at the end of his eyes. He looked at his hands, extra fingers. He went over to a nearby well lit window and looked himself over. His body shape was the same but now he looked human his purple eyes with black furry eye brows stared back at him. he held one hand up to the window and touched it his reflection's hand connected.
He noticed a nose on his face. He squeezed it and felt the air in his nostrils cut off. He quickly let go. At least he found where his beak used to be. He noticed a shaggy mop of hair going to the bottom of his head that framed his face and waved out around him. His peachy light yellow colored skin that had darker spots on his cheeks freckles maybe they were called.
He shook out his distractions. He needed to find Klunk, especially now he knew Draxum was alive. If he found her still alive first… "No don't think about that! If you don't believe you will you'll never find her!" he thought to himself. He looked out on the street to realize not many people were out, which made him hang his head. it was too late to begin asking other humans if they had seen her. Suddenly he heard a noise and turned to come face to face with a large Bull Mutant both screamed at each other as they ran in opposite directions. The Bull charged out into the street behind the alley they were in. Attila meanwhile down a near stair case, he groaned exhausted and tired. Draxum would've hated that. Draxum would've been disgusted with how he acted tonight. Needing to be saved twice, staring getting scared and just expending so much energy in general, he hated his creator's harsh criticism. He always tried his best and he was never good enough. He curled up on the bench he was sitting on and passed out asleep.
His dreams took him to a deep cave network under the Hidden city searing pain was blossoming in his shoulder up his neck down his arm in his shell and plastron. Both of which had cracked. He could smell his own blood strongly. He didn't process it though. he was frozen in a position of gripping his own shoulder with bits of his plastron and shell rim on the ground beside him. He stared in horror thinking he was going to die.
Staring back at him fiercely was a large black serpent like Dragon with yellow eyes incredibly sharp teeth and claws with a yellow beard. It roared rearing back for an attack. However it's horrifying roar suddenly changed into something new that made Attila jolt up from the bench he was on. He was surrounded by Humans going in the train. It was very different from the ones he knew big Mama had. He steadied himself remembering he was in the City of New York now. He stood up and rushed top side. Because he knew so was Klunk!
The Human disguises of the boys in this AU are Japanese descent like Lou is. I hope to have an opportunity to show off other Turtles later. But yeah the picture of Mikey's human form is on my Deviantart and Tumblr Profiles and explains my reasoning. Also I head Cannon Cloaking devices are much harder to get than at first glance
