So to those named Rupert I apologize in advance ^^;

I own nothing except the stuff I made up


Sunrise, Sunset

The Game had been amazing. But Donnie kept his promise. No more than six hours a day. But they had scheduled when to play. Right now though Klunk had come across Donnie typing up a program in his laboratory computer, she sat the end of the door way. "Whatcha' doing?" she asked loudly.

"I am writing a program that will detect and tell me about the creator of a Game." Donnie replied using a mechanical arm to wave her in. she came in and sat closer.

"Why?" Klunk asked.

"Because I refuse to download anything the purple Dragon's made ever again." Donnie replied.

"Because they're bad?" Klunk asked as Attila was waved in potentially to get her.

"Yup, I do not, want to download anything those Satin wearing bastards made ever again, especially after it almost killed my brothers!" Donnie loudly declared.

"Bastards?" Klunk asked as Attila gasped loudly and angrily glaring at Donnie with a diamond shaped mouth as he scooped up Klunk quickly and covered her ears before sliding out of the lab, and somehow kept sliding past Leo and Raph who watched him go.

"How is he doing that?" Leo asked.

Attila eventually had to breathe when he got to his bedroom. How long had he slide through the house ten, fifteen minutes, he lay on the hammock and sighed. Klunk was sitting on his chest when she saw a rolled up piece of paper.

"Sunrise!?" she asked happily as she jumped over to it and opened it. It turned out to the picture of her Attila had used to try and find her. She sighed sadly. "Not Sunrise."

"I know, Draxum destroyed it," Attila sighed before he suddenly realized something. "But, we can make a new one! There's nothing stopping us now!"

"Yay!" Attila declared as Klunk hopped onto his shoulder and he grabbed the new Art Supplies he had gotten from Fancon placing them in a Jupiter Jim Backpack he had. He rushed out.

"Bye Leo I'm going to draw a sunrise." He shouted passing Leo who was reading a comic book nearby.

"Okay see you when you get back," He heard Leo answer as the two headed out. As soon as they left the sewer Attila began to climb as high as he could. He found the tallest pillar in the city. The one he had been up before. He could see the whole world from up there before. It was oddly shaped and polished like a crystal. The walls looked like they were made of crystal too. He made it to the top with the strange glowing horn it had on top and waited in the same spot they were in before.

After a few hours the sun was rising, they watched it go by and soon Attila began drawing it when the sun was higher in the sky. Remembering every color to the last detail, he managed copy it, and even made the pose he and Klunk had from behind from memory. He looked at it. "It's not the same…." Attila muttered.

"Need better sunrise!" Klunk declared.

"Yeah we just gotta find where to get one." Attila added liking where Klunk's mind was at. Attila immediately looked up find the best sunset on his phone. He got something saying there'd be one in a park outside the city that humans used to do something called camping.

After Telling Leo what they were doing again, Attila found a bus and rode out there. When he arrived at the entrance near a small parking lot he immediately sniffed the air. "Whoa the air is so much cleaner out here."

"Nice smell!" Klunk agreed taking in deep breathes and releasing them contently. Attila looked around he was amazed at how green everything was out here. It was much quieter too instead of shouting and cars, there was only the sound of rustling trees and chirping of birds. He heard Yokai say that the mushroom forest one could hear the bubbling of witch town. As well as the mystic energy throughout the Hidden City itself, Attila felt a serene energy and beauty throughout the area. He began to look around in awe but as he did he began to be overwhelmed. He stopped and pulled himself into his shell.

"Atti okay?" Klunk asked worriedly.

"Yeah, just need a minute he muttered closing his eyes to center himself. It had been long since he did this. The last time he tried this Draxum had gotten furious and forbade him from doing it without defending from an attack ever again.

Once Attila felt good again he pulled himself out Klunk waited patiently as he began to find a high place to watch the sunrise again. However unbeknownst to them they were being watched by a large thickly built pig with a large belly and red eyes in a chef outfit and metal gauntlet.

"That must be the one Turtle Draxum wanted back," he hummed quietly to himself watching them go. "What was said he was a bleeding heart? I could use that," he muttered sinisterly sneaking back into the bushes.

"Looks like there's something ah-" Attila was suddenly tripped over something he suddenly saw a mutant capybara with a large yellow mustache and curly hair a pink shirt and tan pants, looking sulky and drained almost dead. "AHHHHHH DEAD MUTANT!" he shrieked his voice practically going raspy from the high notes.

"Blarrg," the mutant suddenly muttered and groaned.

"He's not dead: How do we help him!?" Attila asked worriedly pulling at his face and poking him. Klunk noticed a bird tweeting at them.

"You know where Woodchuck lives?" Klunk asked the bird tweet.

"Ohhhhh Klunk sorry." She said turning to Attila. "Birdie know where Capa-ba-ra live!" she said to him.

"Okay then, lead the way birdie!" Attila said lifting up the Mutant onto his back and carrying him forward to the thing they had noticed in the distance. "Looks like a castle spire, and we're getting closer to it. Is he a King? Am I in Canada?" Attila asked himself wondering as soon they saw a dog themed kind of park with a house off to the side. "That must be where he lives!" Attila said as he opened the door and came on Klunk riding on his head and looking at the dried out Capybara. It was then they suddenly heard high pitch barking. They suddenly saw a large wave of different furry colors jump on them as Attila and Klunk screamed.

Attila was soon met with constant licking and sniffing cold wet noses and being rubbed on. They were especially bad with this about Klunk who was screaming in displeasure as Attila grabbed her and held her close doing everything he could to swim through the tsunami of creatures that swarmed them with their vicious tiny admittedly cute howls of death. Eventually Attila made his way to the door of the house and opened it pulling both Klunk and the Mutant inside. She turned to the door as the creatures were still barking with a venomous hiss.

"HAAAAAATTTEEE!" she snarled as Attila sighed in relief. The easy part was placing the Mutant on a couch on his back.

"How do we fix him?" Attila asked as the two looked over him Klunk's small tuft of hair fur and forked tails slicked into points.

"Water?" Klunk asked sitting by the window. Attila nodded grabbing a cup and filling it with water before going over to the Capybara and pouring it down his throat. He waited for a few seconds as the Mutant smacked his lips. He groaned sitting up.

"Oh hi you must be Donnie and Leo's little brother!" he said happily. "I'm Todd. What's your name?"

"Uhh Attila, how do you know my brothers?" Attila asked.

"They came up for my RV, and I traded it for Cuddle Cakes Puppy Rescue." Todd explained.

"That was nice of them. But Uhhh if you don't mind me asking how did….that whole situation happen?" Attila asked.

"Oh yeah, one of the puppies got out and I went after him. He was attracted to the smell of delicious pork chops. When I caught him and pulled him away, I fell and caused a Mutant Pig's glowing truffle to get taken away by an Eagle. He wasn't very happy with us. He chased us until he was about to grab the puppy with weird flesh tentacles I jumped between them as he ran away home. But it was like my whole being was being sucked out."

Attila nodded, thoughtfully. Draxum had told him that some if not all the Mutants created by the Oozequitos would exhibit new mystic powers. This Pig mutant must have had the power to absorb life energy or essence.

"I guess being mutated will make anyone nasty." Todd shrugged. "Would you two like some lemonade?" he asked.

"Uhh yeah sure," Attila said quickly not wanting to be disobedient or make him angry. A strange yellow liquid was placed before both him and Klunk who had it in a small saucer. The two took a drink and instantly the taste of heaven washed over their tongues as they gasped in sheer awe.

"This is the most amazing thing I've ever drank!" Attila beamed happily with a squeak.

"Tastes like Heaven!" Klunk agreed as they sipped it some more feeling refreshed.

"I was Mutated too I'm actually starting to forget what human me looked like." Todd chuckled.

Attila froze a little at this. "How did you mutate?" He asked nervously.

"I got a weird bite one day in late July next thing I know I'm a Capybara." Todd explained casually. "I was already rescuing puppies and living out here so I guess there's not much of a difference." He added.

Attila slunk down as Klunk finished her lemonade and wanted Attila. He pushed her away gently as he sipped up his own. He needed to distract himself. "What are Puppies?" Attila asked. Todd let out a horrified gasp and hugged him to the point Attila couldn't get air into his lungs anymore.

"What kind of horrible awful cold loveless life have you lived where you don't know what a Puppy is!?" Todd sobbed Attila feeling himself soaked in tears. He loosened his grip as Attila sucked in as much air as he could. "Why does everybody say my life was so horrible?" Attila gasped as Todd hugged him tightly again.

"I love you, you are loved!" he declared supportably squeezing the poor Turtle tighter.

"Oxy….gen…" Attila gasped out.

X X X

Leo had stretched a bit when Raph came in, looking like he had searched the whole lair. "Leo have you seen Attila?" Raph asked.

"Hmm? Oh he went to go draw a Sunrise in the woods." Leo replied casually.

"And you didn't go with him or stop him!?" Raph snapped anxiously.

"He can handle whatever's out there besides Todd. He's a Mystic Warrior not a toddler in traffic." Leo replied going back to his comic. Raph took it away. "Hey!"

"Leo he's your brother he needs you to protect him. Even if you think he can do it himself!" Raph scolded. "Now come on we're going to go find him." Raph said turning to the garage. Leo sighed standing up to follow.

X X X

Attila wasn't sure how he survived those killer hugs. They weren't nice like the ones the Ghost Lady and Leo gave. Even Raph's were tight in a good way. But he had thanked Todd and managed to get around the puppies. Todd was even nice enough to tell them where they should go for a good view of the Sun Rise.

It was then they heard loud sobbing. Attila went over to the source and saw a Pig Mutant dressed like a chef, crying his eyes out. "Are you alright?" Attila asked gently going over to him as the Pig sniffled looking over before he spoke.

"No! This wretched transformation has ruined, me life!" he sobbed. "I used to someone you know. I was world famous chef: Rupert Swaggart, host of Kondescending Kitchen! Beloved by many, many fans and cooks alike! I even had my own cook book!" he said practically autographing a couple of copies and shoving them into Attila's hand. In response the Box Turtle placed them both into his backpack to move them out of the way. But then came a heavy pure Silver wide open mouth with teeth and flailing tongue that made him fall a bit as he struggled to store it. "I even won the Best Screamer award!"

"But now I'm a hideous pig monster!" he wailed as Attila and Klunk teared up listening to this. "The only thing that can help me weary broken soul is the Shadow Moon Truffle to-"

"Yes, I'll help you find a mystic herb that'll make you human again!" Attila said holding his hand tightly with earnest.

"Oh that would be fantastic!" Swaggart said with a slight sob.

"Don't worry, Chef Swaggart, you'll have your old life back in no time. By this time tomorrow you'll be making the best food ever again!" Attila assured. "And just so you know Rupert is a lovely Canadian name!"

"I'm British," Meat Sweats deadpanned.

Attila laughed nervously. "Oh sorry," he muttered as he let the Mutant begin leading them towards where this Shadow Moon Truffle was.

"We need to hurry the Shadow Moon is tonight." Swaggart noted.

"What is the Shadow Moon?" Attila asked.

"A Rare phase of moonlight that occurs when Jupiter Eclipses the Full moon, lad," Swaggart replied.

"Okay what's Jupiter is that a place in Canada?" Attila asked.

Meat Sweats looked at him hiding a slight glare before steadying himself. "No, Jupiter is a big planet in the sky famous for its large red spot."

"Ohhhh!" Attila said nodding as he and Klunk looked up into the sky.

"No planet only sun." Klunk muttered.

"I guess you can't see it during the day." Attila noted.

Swaggart took the moment they were distracted to roll his eyes. "Draxum is a terrible Care taker. The brat has almost nothing in his head. Oh well, I don't need to pick his brain. So much as I need him to get me through the Swamp."

"So where is the truffle?" Attila asked as he followed Swaggart.

"A Swamp a couple of miles from here, the Moon should be out by the time we get there."

"Do you think we'll see Jupiter too?" Attila asked.

"No actually it's way too far away in the night sky to see." Swaggart answered quickly as Attila and Klunk let out sounds of disappointment.

X X X

The Shadow Moon bathed everything in a beautiful light blue light. On top of that the stars were bigger and larger than ever before in the city. Attila could hear the croaking of frogs as Klunk was trying to catch fireflies on his head. He pushed his way through the large grass that began to over grow the area. "So how do we spot the Truffle?" Attila asked.

"It will release a beautiful cloud of shimmering spores into the night sky." Swaggart explained in a whimsical tone. "But don't breathe them. They'll burn your nostrils and fuse your lungs to your heart!" he said with a wide crooked smile and wide eyes on twitching wildly like he had seen this first hand.

"That sounds horrifying." Attila muttered in a shocked deadpan.

"Yes, but the Truffle is delicious." Swaggart replied.

"Spores!" Klunk said pointing out towards a large tree in the center of the swamp.

"Wow you weren't kidding about the cloud being pretty!" Attila said in awe of it.

"The Swamp poses many challenges. Perhaps you can get us through them chum?" Meat Sweats asked as Attila nodded.

"Don't worry I got this!" Attila said as he pulled out his Kurosai and pulled down a nearby large but almost dead tree that they used to cross. Then they came upon a large field of sharp looking brambles. "A punch of spiny plants won't stop me!" he said with a battle cry as he activated the fire on his Kurosai to mow down a path through them. The Two rushed on through as they came to a large amount of mud. Attila used his fire powers again slamming his Kurosai down to try out the mud. "Alright challenges complete!" he declared happily. He then saw a many truffles glowing up the back of the tree that was covered in markings.

"Truffle time!" Klunk shouted as he and Attila ran ahead unaware of the wicked smirk that Chef Swaggart gave off. Attila climbed the tree to pluck a small one at the top of the lowest Branch but as he did there was a small quake that made Attila, slip and lose his footing. But he held on for dear life.

As he did he noticed the branches and roots become legs and arms. This Tree was a Yokai, "uh oh." He muttered as the tree had grabbed him he grabbed Klunk and held her close to keep the other Branches away. "Ahh don't hurt Klunk!" he shouted as the tree grumbled and began shaking the two.

"ANGRY TREEEE!" it growled as Attila and Klunk screamed and yelped.

"Chef Swaggart what's happening!" Attila yelled desperately.

"The Truffle is protected by a mystic Were-Tree you know full moon and all chum." Swaggart sneered.

"Why didn't you tell me, Ow, ow, ow!" he shouted keeping Klunk above his head as the Tree slammed him around.

"PROTECT TRUFFLES!" it shouted.

"Well, I needed a good distraction." Swaggart admitted. "I must say, I'm particularly looking forward to this round of my signature dish, Forest Truffle Pork chops!" He said with a sneer as the tree slammed Attila down. He looked up with a shocked glare.

"Pork Chops!?" Attila shouted incredulously. "You said you wanted to be human again!"

"I didn't say that's what the Truffle was for. You just assumed that. I just didn't feel the need to correct you." Swaggart sneered flicking his head.

"You lied to us!" Attila growled.

"BASTARD PIG!" Klunk shouted.

Attila gasped. "No Klunk you can't use that word! It's a bad word!" he whimpered.

"Well, while you're busy parenting and dying at the same time. I'm off to get me truffle!" Swaggart said happily trotting off.

"Oh yeah? Well Rupert is the WORST NAME EVER!" Attila screamed at the top of his lungs as Klunk gave a forceful raspberry as the Tree started swinging them around again.

"Sticks and Stones mateys," Swaggart sneered. As he climbed up the tree but saw nothing. "Why is the Truffle gone?"

"Looking for this?!" shouted a voice they looked over to see Todd glaring holding up the truffle in his hands.

"Todd how'd you know we were in trouble!?" Attila asked smiling brightly.

"My Squirrel friends, told my bird friends; that told my puppy friends that told me." Todd explained.

"Yay animal friends, no more hate!" Klunk shouted happily.

"PAPRIKA!" shouted Swaggart who started punching at Todd who was dodging expertly but slowly. Attila watched in awe. "Hold still you twitchy little thing!" He snarled as he tried and failed to hit Todd.

"You're no match for me!" Todd replied as he dodged. "I'm a master of passive fu! It's where I take your energy and do nothing with it!" he declared.

"Ohh that's powerful!" Attila muttered in awe before getting an idea. "Todd distract him!" he shouted pulling out his Kurosai and managing to cling to the side of the tree as Todd grabbed on to Swaggart's glove and pulled it off with a spin. Attila didn't pay much attention to the hand dissolving into a set of spindly tentacles he just used the momentary distraction to wrap his Kurosai around his wrist and pulled as hard as he could causing Swaggart to go flying into the tree as Attila managed to jump away free. He turned to see that with the tentacles against the tree, there was a transfer of energy between the tree and Swaggart.

"Wait that means the Mutant that attacked Todd was…" he gasped in his thoughts before watching in shock and fear as Swaggart turned into a huge pig were-tree hybrid with leaf pants on half of his face now had a glowing blue eye while the rest of him was made of wood in the shape of his original body. The three screamed.

"Time for a little Midnight snack," he roared reaching down to grab them. "Rule number, three of Passive-Fu! The bigger they are the faster you FLEEEEEE!" Todd shouted picking up both Attila and Klunk placing them on his head and taking off as fast as he could using his passive Fu to keep away from Were-Swaggart.

"I am such an idiot! Why did I trust him so blindly?! I should've known he was the Mutant that attacked you, what kind of braindead, moron stupidly goes along with some Psychopathic Lunatic!?" Attila moaned.

"You went with him? I thought you were kidnapped!" Todd said incredulously.

"NO! This is the same stupidity and bleeding heart problems that got me stuck in the Battle Nexus in the first place!" Attila groaned.

"What's a Battle Nexus?!" Todd asked.

"You don't wanna know!" Attila said as a slam of his large hammer hand caused them all to go flying into the bushes.

"I'll take me truffle now and use it to cook me some scaredy-cat stew!" Swaggart growled as he pulled apart the shrubbery where they landed to find them gone. He growled looking for them as the three watched cautiously.

"Okay, stay calm and remember what you were taught about certain enemies!" Attila said quietly to himself as he remembered what Huggin and Muggin said.

"Shark attack jab em in the eye!" Huggin said.

"Vampires stuff garlic in their mouths!" Muggin said.

"Were-anything whack them with silver!" Huggin said.

"Polar bear?" Muggin said.

"Say goodnight!" they finished together.

"Where are we gonna get silver?" Todd asked. Attila hummed in thought but then remembered something pulling out the Best Screamer award.

"He gave me this!" Attila said. "The Best Screamer Award is made of pure Silver, and I'd be happy to return it to him!"

"Get bastard Pig!" Klunk stated happily.

Attila sighed. "Darn it Donnie!" They poked their heads out and looked for anywhere that could be a weak point. "Okay we gotta get him right in the hollow, Klunk, Todd, get on my shoulders!"

"Right!" the two replied Todd going on top of Attila and Klunk on top she grabbed the Trophy and wrapped her tail around it as they stood up.

"Hey Maple Bacon!" Todd shouted as Klunk threw the Trophy as hard as she could it spun and landed right where she wanted it to go.

"AHHHH RIGHT IN ME KNOT HOLE!" Swaggart shouted in pain as purple energy crackled from his chest. He changed back the tree glaring at him as Swaggart coughed from having his award. Fall onto his gut he gasped as he saw the Tree glare at him.

"VENGENCE!" it shouted

"Oh Shallots…" Swaggart muttered as it began using its fists to smash at Swaggart who yelped and ran off through the forest screaming as the tree gave chase. The three happily cheered as the villains disappeared into the night.

"So what do we do with this?" Todd asked holding up the Truffle.

"You keep it." Attila replied hanging Todd one of the Cook books he had from his backpack. "Maybe you can make those Forest Truffle Pork Chops he wanted with it."

"Oooh that sounds delicious!" Todd declared. "Thanks friend! I'll cherish these memories of our first meeting forever!"

"GASP!" Attila muttered as a realization hit him.

X X X

It had been a particularly hard training session. Attila was sure his wrist had been sprung for a while as he huddled in an alley way in the Hidden city. He huddled up into ball trying not to cry when something landed beside him. He screamed when he heard it and retracted into his shell on impulse. He saw across from him was a small Yokai that had turned into a rock that came down with a Klunk.

"Hey, you're just like me!" Attila said happily.

The Rock looked at him with big yellow eyes. It changed into a small Calico cat. "Scaredy cat, that do no right too?"

"Yeah," Attila said coming out of his shell. "You want to be cowards together?" He asked.

"Yeah," she said crawling into his arms. Attila squeezed but made her yelp.

"Oh sorry," he said trying to be more gentle. "I'm trying but I'm not very good at anything else."

"That okay you get better." She replied. Attila blinked in shock he felt a smile creep over himself.

"Hey you want to go up to the surface with me?" Attila asked.

"Yeah?" She said curiously as he pulled out a small coin that opened a way up to the large jungle. The small kitten got scared huddling close.

"Don't worry I've been up here once before." He said. "There's something I wanted to see, it's called a sunrise. And it's when the sky wakes up! The Hidden City doesn't have something like this so I wanted to see if for myself." Attila explained as he climbed the tallest building he could find. He made it as high as he could. They looked up and saw the stars. "It really is beautiful. I just wish humans didn't want to keep this to themselves…"

"Mmm," the cat said not really getting it.

"Do you have a name?" Attila asked.

"No," The Cat replied.

"Hmmm how about Klunk for the noise you make when you turn into a rock." Attila asked.

The Cat thought about this for a minute before nodding "Klunk," she said with a nod. "I am Klunk!"

"Okay!" Attila said with a giggle. They then felt a burst of warmth as a golden light began to cover them they turned to see a burst of colors in the sky and one large source of gold light slowly rising into the sky. They both gazed in sheer awe.

X X X

"That's it…." Attila thought. "Klunk I figured it out! It wasn't the picture but what it represented to us. The Day we met!" he said Klunk gasped getting it.

"Yeah, that was. You were the first time anyone didn't see me as a failure or just a weapon or a warrior. You saw me for me…" he said smiling. "That makes me so happy." He said to her as Klunk smiled brightly and she jumped into his arms. Attila hugged her tightly. There was a warm bubbly feeling something that made him feel strong but whole at the same time. He didn't know what it was but he never wanted it to leave him.

There was suddenly a loud noise. It was rushing towards them. "My Algorithm has got them it its sights. Locking them down, almost thereeeeeee!" Donnie shouted as the Turtle Tank came barreling towards Attila and Klunk who screamed in terror. As did the three brothers, Leo grabbing the Wheel and twisting it as hard as he could; causing the Turtle tank to turn so sharply that one side of it lifted up. It narrowly missed the two let out squeaks of relief and shock when the tank came to a stop across for them after turning around in such a way.

"I don't know why you two are worried they still had three inches," Leo groaned bitterly, from inside the Tank as Raph was the first one out.

"Attila, Klunk are you guys alright!?" He said looking them over. "You didn't run into Meat Sweats did you!?" he said rapidly looking them over even lifting Attila up at points to look under him.

"No, what does he look like?" Attila asked.

"Big ugly sweaty pig mutant, really started freaking out when we found out he was in the area." Leo muttered checking his ear again from when Raph shrieked at him horrified that they were in the same area together alone.

"That sounds like Chef Swaggart, is he meat sweats?" Attila asked.

"Well let's see," Donnie replied looking up a Video on his phone they gathered around it as they saw a man with bright red hair turn into the Mutant Attila had met before. The Box turtle gasped.

"They are one in the same! So the story was at least true…" Attila muttered. "I did run into him. And he tricked me into distracting him from a Were-tree. It's thanks to Todd that I'm fine."

"Ooof," Leo muttered avoiding a glare from Raph.

"Why do you refer to him as Chef Swaggart." Donnie asked.

"Well, that's his real name Rupert Swaggart." Attila replied as the three brothers, cringed letting out a hiss of pain and sympathy.

"You were right to call him Meat Sweats," Leo hissed to Raph who nodded.

"It's my fault, Todd mentioned being attacked by him earlier and I still trusted him! He seemed so sad to be mutated. So I just wanted to help him." Attila muttered sadly. "I am so stupid."

"You're not stupid," Raph said "You acted like a hero helping someone in need!"

"I did?" Attila asked hopefully.

"Yeah, and there will be others that need your help and appreciate it. Besides Meat Sweats is a big jerk."

"He even tried to eat me once, and I am ninety-nine point nine percent sure he's cannibalistic." Donnie added.

"Also you might've gotten a heads up if I had been with you….Sorry about that…" Leo muttered sheepishly.

"It's okay," Attila assured.

"Hey what's that rainbow light?" Raph asked as they turned there was definitely a bunch of colors mixing together as they went towards it going through a small cave Raph had to duck down to enter. When they got out again they gazed in awe seeing a bunch of mystic plants with glowing veins. Some purple in color. Many of the trees in the area had the same runes on them. There were all sorts of colors as Attila gazed in awe.

"There must be a thousand mystic plants- OOF!" Attila yelped as Donnie pushed him out of the way gasping.

"I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS! I MUST SAMPLE THEM ALL!" he said his battle shell pulling out a bunch of supplies for collecting seeds.

"Uhhhh," Leo muttered with an arched eyebrow.

"I know you all think of me as the Mechanics and Thermodynamics guy! BUT my true passion is Botany!" he declared rushing in.

"If they scream or start moving and talking, they're actually Yokai. Don't take those ones!" Attila called after him as Leo blinked in more confusion.

Cue the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy….

Leo suddenly saw mushrooms poke their heads out. He backed up a little as they all got into a straight line. And started jumping forward a bit as more from behind came out in a line their caps bouncing as Leonardo watched with an arched eyebrow. He heard a slight squeak to see several more mushrooms floating down gracefully. Their purple caps lighting up in neon blue. They were spinning in the sky as Leo watched from the center of their organized three rings from the ground the caps started glowing brightly as they huddled in together before spreading out. Then there were three larges ones moving their arms around kind of like a ballerina while ones below several larger glowing green mushrooms were doing a can-can dance. With one jumping gracefully across their whole stage, Leo just watched the whole thing blinking.

"You want me to the Rhino mutant!?" Rico gasped.

"Yes, I have found you the most suitable candidate." Draxum replied as he prepared an Oozequito. Rico looked nervous. Fortunately his brother sensed this and already had a plan.

"Hold on I've got an idea. See my bro and I, are sort of a package deal. So you'd be better off Mutating us together. "But I suggest turning me into a Warthog and I'll tell you why. They have extremely good senses of smell. Between the two of us, you can consider yourself the owner of a brand new Tiger Skin rug!" Riley said smugly.

Draxum smiled at this. "I like your attitude and logic, it's a deal." He said placing the hairs from before into another Oozequito. In a few minutes the two landed on Draxum's hand awaiting his orders. He merely pointed to the boys. "Just relax. This will only hurt a lot." He added.

"Say what now?" the two asked as they were bit and immediately started screaming in pain and contorting.

"That doesn't bend that way, that doesn't bend that way, oh now it does!" Rico shouted as Draxum watched with proud vigor as he was bathed in a bright lime green light.

"OH THIS IS THE WORST KIND OF PAIN!" Riley shouted. Draxum was too busy smiling at his newest creations to really perceive their cries only grinning when the transformation was complete the two new Mutants letting out powerful roars.


Can you guess who these new Mutants are? We'll see them in action soon enough!
