I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Watching and Sticking
Tiger Claw had spent the better part of the Morning gathering what he needed and it was costing him a lot. It didn't help that the Mutant he was working with was a straight up Skin Flint. He had greased back brown hair only a jean vest and jean pants, with a small bug abdomen sticking out. Antenna and a bug like face and replacing his hands was the trade mark mantis scythe like arms. He seemed to adapt to them. But Tiger Claw suddenly wasn't so mad at his paws.
"So One Motor Cycle, The helmet and all this scrap. What are you up to?" the Mutant Repo Mantis as he called himself asked.
"That's my business." Tiger Claw replied.
"I guess I'll add a twenty percent hike." Repo replied back. "Unless…" he said hinting.
Tiger Claw sighed. "Honestly crime fighting." He admitted bracing himself. And just as he predicted Repo started laughing wildly banging his arm on the table, Tiger Claw just stared flatly.
"You…hehehehehe….you're…..ahahahaahahaha….craaaaahhhhzzzeeehehehe!" he sputtered between laughs.
"Are you done?" Tiger Claw growled. Repo held up his claw and nodded. He took a breath before composing himself.
"You're not gonna clean up a city like New York." Repo said simply his smile turning sinister.
"I don't need to. I just need to get rid of the worst of the scum." Tiger Claw replied. "Do you know a Black Smith?"
Repo hummed tapping his chin. Tiger Claw knew what he wanted and gave him a twenty. His lips curled back to reveal his teeth as he spoke. "Do you or do you not, know a black smith!" Tiger Claw growled getting angry now.
"Yeah, yeah, relax." Repo replied. "Outside of the city: I just recently repossessed an RV from him. Before my best side hustle was taken from me. He's a Mutey too so you don't have to try and hide." Repo said.
"Good to know, thanks." Tiger Claw replied finally able to get out of here.
"No, thank you." Repo said using one of his claws to flip through all the money Tiger Claw gave him, with a chuckle as Tiger Claw rolled his eyes. It was going to be a long day.

Light spattered through the lab illuminating a misshapen figure. "My Inventions were meant to do good, not evil!" shouted the distressed voice of Donatello.
"What have you done to my body!? My perfect body!?" shouted Leonardo horrified as stuff flew from the counters. A large thick green arm flailed. It slammed against the computer dash board before sliding across it. The being worked to balance itself, another stripped arm flailed as the three turtles were trapped together in a ball of glue and fell forward with a groan.
"Why did you this Raph!? Even for you, this feels like a poorly thought out idea!" Donnie snapped as Leo glanced in the mirror. Donnie's head was dead center between them and above them with one leg out having to coordinate with Leo's but the Slider was more concerned with how the whole thing felt and looked as he winced at the mirror.
"Is this what it feels like to have a Dad bod?" he whimpered feeling the orb a little. He placed his face in his free hand.
"Calm down this is gonna be awesome," Raph assured his youngest brother. "Being stuck together is gonna force us to work together as a team!" he said trying to fist bump Leo before they lost balance again. Leo basically had his left leg out the left side and basically had to coordinate with Donnie.
Leo glared at what he heard. "This is a Team building exercise?!" he snapped incredulously.
"How are we gonna get unglued?!" Donnie asked from above them angrily.
"Relax I'm sure you have a formula to get us unstuck Donnie." Raph said to him.
"Actually I do not have a formula! My FAB spray is still in Beta!" Donnie replied matter-of-factly.
"FAB?" Leo asked.
"F-A-B: Foam Agent Bonding, its state of the art could change-"Donnie began to info-dump as Leo groaned.
"Not this again!" he looked over at his Brother. "You see Raph, usually when Donnie is in Speech mode I could just run away but now!" he said with a broken laugh. "I'm stuck!"
"Donnie Detection a crime is in progress! Donnie detection a Crime is in progress!" Shouted Donnie's lab computer, over and over.
"Yes a Mission it's go time!" Raph declared being the only one happy to go out and fight crime in their state. They flailed a little the Ball threatening to roll. "Stop, we need to work as a Team to Reach Donnie's computer!" Raph said "Leo step," The blue turtle complied managing to get his leg up. "Donnie step!" Donnie followed suit and they managed to stand and waddle to the computer. "There we go Team work!" Raph said as he pressed the button. Donnie gasped when he realized what was next.
"Donnie what's your password?" Raph asked.
"I'm not telling you that! Just let me enter it!" Donnie muttered sounding embarrassed.
"How? You don't have hands." Leo pointed out. "Okay let's try Donnie underscore Supreme." He said as Raph and him typed that in. Incorrect: "Okay how about Uranium." The process repeated.
"Stop, you'll lock us out! It's Booty Shaker nine thousand, capital B' three Y's in Booty." Donnie relented as his brothers chuckled. "What? You know I like to dance! I'm not gonna apologize for that." He growled. A Building appeared on screen. Raph recognized it immediately.
"Someone's breaking in to the Museum of Art and Framing!" Raph gasped.
"Oooh Classy," Leo noted impressed with the thieves.
"Let's move!" Raph declared as they basically fell over. However they had managed to make it to the Garage and tried to get into the Turtle tank only to fail. "Suck in!" Raph said they all did but still they couldn't squeeze into the Turtle Tank.
"Let's use the Shell Hogs!" Donnie declared his brothers cheered before the remembered they didn't know what that was.
"Shell Hog?" They asked. Donnie sighed.
"Did neither of you read the instruction manual for the Tank I gave you?" Donnie asked.
Flash back….
Both Raph and Leo were putting in the paper that Donnie had given them into their father's elite two thousand dollar paper shredder.
"This handles a lot of paper!" Raph said grinning as and Leo took turns putting in a thick stack each
"I know right?!" Leo gleefully asked.
End of Flashback….
"It's on, my to do list," Raph replied.
"Press the button on the side of the tank." Donnie sighed, Raph did so with his arm a melodic beeping sounded and suddenly popping out of the Turtle Tank were three bikes. Raph and Leo lit up in excitement.
Leo ran his hand over the one closest to him. "Donnie these are amazing! And I know everything I say sounds sarcastic but I'm being completely genuine….this time." Leo said smiling at Donnie who smiled back.
"Let's ride!" Raph declared. When they tried to ride it they got top heavy and fell over however soon they got the idea to hold on to two of the bikes and head to the Museum that way. "If we can make this work and stop those art thieves we'll be the perfect team!" He declared.

Tiger Claw had arrived back in New York in the dead of Night finally. It had been a headache dealing with Todd. But somehow the view he saw made it all worth it. It was the city all lit up along with the Manhattan Bridge. He couldn't help but take in the view. But he knew he couldn't stay long he had stuff to do as he placed his helmet back on and took off. He had a list of very dangerous criminals, criminals that would hurt Attila. And if he couldn't track him down and bring him back to the apartment because of Draxum the least he could do is clear away the worst of the worst. He found a few of them out that night quickly clearing through the list and tossing them by the Police station battered and stunned. Quickly after however the Police scanner he managed to get installed in the bike suddenly went off. "28-02 28-02, break in at the Museum of Art and Framing."
"Might as well check it out," Tiger Claw muttered as he placed on his Helmet and took off towards the address being relayed on the scanner. He quickly drove up to the large building. But there was someone else there.
"Finally a crime at the Museum of Art and Framing!" declared a small mutant worm with a blonde pompadour and a suit. "My Patience has paid off! Soon the Turtles will be here and I Warren Stone will-" Tiger Claw suddenly stepped on him and ran suddenly feeling his steps off, before checking his foot seeing a large wad of pink mixed in with blue and yellow.
"Oh stepped in some gum." Tiger Claw said pulling Warren off and throwing him away before rushing in. When he entered, he suddenly what he saw surprised him as he watched carefully. In an orb of what looked like dried foam were the legs and three heads of three other Mutant Turtles like Attila.
"There's more, how many did Draxum make?" Tiger Claw watched as they rolled in. "And what's going on with them anyway." They all had masks on one of them had goggles, from what Tiger Claw could see they had a much more stable and less abusive upbringing. But they also looked like they were here to fight crime. He sighed at this, "dumb kids."
"I saw something move on the right!" Shouted the blue one that Tiger Claw could barely make out was a Mutant Red eared Slider from the markings on his head. He had seen one before as a class pet. Then there was a sound off to the left of him. "What was that?!"
"Great plan Raph, now instead of being able to investigate two leads we are now stuck together." shouted the one with goggles.
"No this is what Team Work is!" shouted the very large and carnivorous looking one. Tiger Claw face palmed. He then saw something that made him do it again. "'We put aside our individual goals to do what's best for the Team!'" He said reading a note from his hand.
"Why do you sound like you're reading," Asked the purple one. Tiger Claw sighed hanging his head about to go out and drag them home when he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye fire. He quickly rushed over grabbing a Fire extinguisher. He came across the Ancient Egyptian exhibit and quickly unleashed the foam from the device onto where he saw the fire. But it didn't go out instead he ended up covering someone in the foam they merely shook it off. What he saw was a shirtless thin man with a bright almost neon orange foot tattoo on his face and simply pants. His skin was somewhat pale and purple with the fire he saw on his head. Beside him was a burly man dressed like him. "Who dares?!" growled the thin one.
"Mystic fire?!" Tiger Claw asked surprised.

After Raph's brilliant plan caused them to destroy priceless statues they saw their culprits; "Mutant Silver Fish?" Leo asked, arching an eye brow. "They're into art?" he asked as they watched them eat food from the cafeteria.
"This should be easy!" Raph said grinning, "Turtle FAB Attack!" Raph shouted pointing but suddenly there was a loud poof of smoke. Appearing was a Mutant Hippo in a magician suit and Turban with a thin pointed goatee and mustache and a ring in one ear: Hypno-Potamus.
"Ha! Flawless entry, now;" He suddenly turned to see the Turtles. "Oh what happened to you lot!?" He asked, looking both concerned and puzzled. "Did some creepy doctor man chop you into bits and then sew you back together?" They could now add Horror movies to the list of things he likes now.
"What?! No! It's Team building!" Raph snapped.
"Ahh yes, Team Building my former Hippo assistant Doug and I used to love to Team Build." Hypno replied nostalgically.
"I'm giving you one chance to get out of here before we smash you!" Raph growled as they got into a fighting stance.
Hypno hummed a bit mockingly in thought. "Gonna be hard, like that since I'm up here and you're down there." He said grinning and with that the Hippo man ran off into other room.
"He's getting away into that exhibit on the Occult quick follow him!" Donnie shouted.
"How we are stuck together and can barely move!" Leo groaned. It was then more Silver Fish appeared and started causing problems.
"It's Team building!" Raph half screamed.
"Why are we stuck together when there are literally two problems?!" Donnie complained as they started tearing up the place.
"Make that three!" Shouted Warren who had a black eye from when Tiger Claw stepped on him. "It is I! Warren Stone: The Biggest baddest of them all is here to get in on the-"
"Hey guy," asked Leo not remembering his name even when he repeated it. "Could you give us a minute; we kind of have a lot on our plate here."
"We've gotta stop the Silver Fish!" Leo shouted.
"No Hypno!" Donnie argued as the two glared each other trying to pull their way.
"Silver Fish!"
"Hypno!"
"Silver Fish!"
"Hypno!"
"STOP!" Raph shouted, "We deal with the problem in front of us! Like the perfect….theam?!" Raph said trying to read the smudged words.
"Well that makes perfect sense." Donnie growled sarcastically. "Okay theam what are we going to do?"
Raph thought for a moment then got an idea. "We Roll!" he declared.
"Roll what?" Leo asked.
"Us!" Raph explained. "Get on our side!" he said pulling forward. "It's bouldering time!" he declared. Rolling towards the large Silver Fish that split into many others, they crashed into the wall and bounced around chasing the small mutant Silver Fish unaware that they had rolled over Warren and got him trapped in the FAB ball with them.
"I don't feel good!" Donnie muttered turning a different shade of green. "Keep it down Vomitello!"
"Stop! AHHHHHA!" he shouted as he was slammed into the ground constantly. He and the trio ping balled around the room but the Silver Fish now a small large crowd were dodging and spreading out everywhere they could. Soon the trio stopped with Donnie complaining about his face.
"Focus, we roll as a Team!" Raph instructed. They nodded and soon they were knocking out Silver Fish one by one. Soon they had captured all of them and placed them in a trash can with a statue on top.
"Good work Team we saved the place!" Raph declared.
"Please never make me boulder again." Donnie muttered a bit weakly as they heard an explosion.
"Hah," Shouted Hypno's voice, "even Mount Ngauruhoe would be envious of that explosion!"
"Hypno!" Raph shouted. "We gotta hurry." Raph shouted pointing to the Occult exhibit. They rushed in to see Hypno using his floating rings to carve into a Jade sarcophagus with a skeletal woman on it in some Aztec dress and jewelry holding instruments of some kind in her hands. Lime green mist of some kind was starting to pour out.
"With the Power of the first witch I be able to resurrect Doug and together we can-"Hypno began but was cut off.
"Okay Hypno!" Raph shouted as they rolled in much to his annoyance. "Time to send you back to-Uhh I mean time to make you uhh-"
"Wait, wait I got it, turn me!" Leo said as they did Leo held his hand to his chin with a smug grin. "Hypno time to send you back to-"
"Mezmer-rooo!" Hypno partly sang as blue and yellow magic energy rushed out of his mouth towards the Turtles.
"He's gonna Hypnotize me turn!" Leo shouted. They turned Donnie was now in the cross fire.
"Turn!" Donnie yelped then Warren.
"Turn me!" Warren whimpered. They did and Raph was hit. They looked over to see his brother in a trance drooling a bit.
"Now that you're under my control, How about you leave this place and-"
"We're not under your control!" Leo shouted.
"Yes Master," Raph muttered he turned his head and shifted a little but nothing.
"Donnie he can't Hypnotize us let's get him!" Leo shouted as the twins rushed forward.
"Oh stop that's a little too close!" Hypno shouted.
"What sorry can't hear you!" Leo said grinning as he and Donnie turned using Raph's large arm to bitch slap Hypno into the wall where he groaned laying with a cough.
"Uhggghh not again…" he wheezed out as Raph got free of his control.
"Ugghh what happened?" Raph asked.
"We stopped him." Leo replied grinning.
"Ahhh like the perfect Team!" Raph said grinning as Leo glared.
"No! No More terrible Team Building ideas!" Leo shouted.
"Ever!" Donnie added.

"Don't you think it's a little early for Halloween?" Tiger Claw asked eyeing them.
"Says the guy dressed in a metal suit." The Burly man muttered. "Who are you anyway?"
Tiger Claw hummed. "I guess you can call me the Night Watcher," he said simply getting into a fighting stance. "Whatever you want from this place I can't let you have It." he growled rushing at them he clawed his paws and began striking at them, rapidly and powerfully as the two found themselves quickly knocked back and skidding across the floor.
"A Practitioner of Shaolin Tiger Style eh?" The thin one asked. "Impressive!" He noted as they charged again. Tiger Claw rolled out of the way and swung his leg and tail to land a hit on the large one and dig a cut into his side. He growled as Tiger Claw jumped and tried to land a kick on them. However they dodged out of the way and grabbed some nearby Paper and quickly folded it into Origami Ninja that charged at Tiger Claw who quickly unsheathed metal war claws from his gloves and slashes at them.
It was then he used a forceful move to spray them with the confetti blinding them for a second before he started stalking them a bit. The Burly one growled pulling out one of his weapons, as he healed the cut on his side with magic. "What are you two?" Tiger Claw asked. He was now wondering if they were Yokai with their extensive knowledge in magic. He knew Yokai could take many shapes, even human ones. He jumped out the first chance he got and landed a well-placed palm strike on the big ones chest knocking him back; then trying to land a kick on the smaller one but he dodged.
"You're starting to be a real pain in the neck!" the smaller one growled unleashing a blast of Fire that Tiger Claw dodged out of the way.
"Watch it! You'll set the place on fire!" Tiger Claw snapped.
"You really think we care what happens to the artifacts in here? We're not even after them." The Burly one said.
"Then why are you here?!" Tiger Claw growled.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" The thin one sneered. "Perhaps if you joined us we might be inclined to tell you. We could use someone like you."
"Not interested," Tiger Claw growled activating the Taser pads on his gloves before he could rush in for another attack however something landed on top of him knocking him out. Before bouncing off of him and slamming into the wall.
It was then that the FAB ball finally broke apart freeing them as Leo could see his left leg and arm again. "Yes we're free!" he cheered.
"Ugghhh no one should be that close to their family." Donnie groaned. "No offense." He added to his brothers.
"Grab the artifact quick!" The Thin one shouted as they rushed into the Pyramid. Raph sniffled meanwhile looking at the hardened substance feeling bad.
"Raph?" Leo asked.
"You guys were right. The FAB was a stupid idea. I just thought it would bring us together. Let's do your guys thing and split up." He said sadly.
"No you're plan worked we're a better Team now," Leo said looking at his twin urging him to continue.
"Uhh yeah so what if we didn't split up, what if we got the FAB Trio back together!?" Donnie said getting an idea.
"Yeah sure but how?" Raph asked smiling.
"Rope!" the twins said together as Leo grabbed Warren thinking he was one and the three worked together to put the pieces back together as the two Foot Faces rushed out holding a box. Only to find the FAB three held together by Raph and Leo's belts along with Warren.
"The Turtles?" The thin Foot Face gasped.
"I am not a Rope I'm the greatest Foe you've ever faced." Warren shouted as they ignored him as they kicked then rammed Foot Brute and launched him into the wall past the Sphinx. Then they charged at the thin one Foot Lieutenant. He gasped as he realized he had wasted the Origami Ninja that he had brought on the Night Watcher.
"Damn it!" he hissed to himself.
"This is my NIGHTMARE!" Warren screamed as they began to roll.
"Cowabunga!" the Red one shouted rolling towards Lieutenant who gasped and ran as fast as he could dropping the box in the process, but was caught on the large ball being rolled under it a few times. Then when hit the wall in the Sphinx was sent flying through as Foot Brute opened a portal.
"Don't just stand there, get out of the way!" He shouted at Foot Brute who only turned around before being gutted by his partner and sent through the portal.

Tiger Claw groaned waking up and gasped he looked around he found the Box open on the ground and whatever was inside it gone. He also noticed a bit of Material stuck to his helmet he pulled it off and looked at it. He realized it was a piece of that Foam ball the kids were in earlier. He wondered if they beat those two. He suddenly heard the Police and quickly climbed out and out of the building. Then took off on his Motor Cycle he parked for a minute after a while to rest. He couldn't get the Tiki-men out of his head. On top of that something about those Tattoos filled him with dread, like some kind of ancestral fear ingrained into him. It was then his stomach growled. He then noticed someone going into a cloaked wall and followed.
It was there he saw the man in front of him change out into a Yokai form as he took his helmet off and looked around. It was a restaurant; the arches were covered in fair lights with various photos on the wall and other Yokai like decorations. The stone was underneath his feet was like the cobbled stone roads of the Hidden City. Small blue flame torches were adorned here and there through out along with a large chandelier and several other lights throughout.
"Can I get you a seat Senor?" asked a Spanish accented voice he turned to see a Skeleton with a thin mustache with a greenish-brown suit with a red shirt and tie and a fedora.
"Uh sure," Tiger Claw replied not wanting to be rude and he was hungry so he might as well. The Skeleton man led him to a booth off in the corner under a regular lantern. He was given a menu, Tiger Claw merely asked for an ice water as the Skeleton nodded jotted it down and left. As he looked over the Menu noticing all kinds of things including something his body instantly desired Steak Pizza where one could have blood sauce (Where the meat was rare to raw) or Barbeque sauce for the sauce. As he did he noticed a few more Yokai gossiping among themselves about humans that matched the Tiki-Men's descriptions. It was then the Skeleton returned with his water.
"So if you don't mind me asking have you heard any rumors of some Tiki-Men Foot Tattoos on their faces?" He asked.
"Sounds like you've heard of the Foot Clan." The Skeleton replied. "There are rumors that someone is gathering the pieces of a blood thirsty monster, a Demon made of a suit of Armor known as the Kuroi Yoroi. Or in English Dark Armor, legend has it that bringing this cursed armor together will awaken a Monster that will destroy all life on earth Yokai and Human alike: And that this is the goal of the Foot Clan a cult who worships the Monster; it was defeated by a powerful human warrior. After which it was scattered across the globe. There is debate on whether it is Human or Yokai. If you believe such things." He added.
"I see," Tiger Claw muttered as a large angular fish Yokai appeared.
"Can I take your order sir?" It asked.
"This is Fez he will be serving you tonight Senor." The Skeleton replied.
"Uhhh thanks I'll have the Steak Pizza blood sauce." Tiger Claw replied as the Skeleton left while Fez wrote down the order. Once he did that and left Tiger Claw pulled out his Phone and held the button whispering. "Siri find me information on Hamato Yoshi."
"Here's what I found." The Phone replied back with an article that Tiger Claw carefully tapped it and read.
"July 20th 1997: Famous Action Star Lou Jitsu known also known as Hamato Yoshi was declared legally dead tonight at 6pm Authorities said that this may have been the result of Murder as The Star was last seen with his Girlfriend at The Roof Top Restaurant in New York three years ago. However all evidence against the Young Heiress was dismissed six weeks into his disappearance."
Tiger Claw growled as he recognized a younger version of Big Mama in the picture of course she would have something to do with that. He remembered more clearly an argument he once heard between his Dad and Grandfather. Who yelled at his Grandfather for only seeing him his own grandson as quote a backup. Regardless he was the only one left who could stop the Foot Clan he couldn't let them get the Dark Armor!
