I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Enter The B Team!
Tiger Claw found the large bed pretty comfortable. It fit him well but he couldn't rest much longer. He had to stop the Foot more than ever especially when Krysta had told him that Draxum was promised the Dark Armor in help for collecting it. Splinter and Carol had been mortified by the news. It's why he had to get going. Before he left however he checked on each of the Turtles. He saw Donnie keeping himself occupied in his lab with Shelldon.
He checked on Raph next. Raph was curled up tightly in his own bed with a bunch of stuffed animals in his arms. Not what he expected but then again he didn't know Raph that well. And he definitely needed some form of comfort after last night. Not that Splinter would do it.
Leo was next but he wasn't in his room. He looked around eventually finding him with Mikey. The two were sleeping with each other. Leo was curled around Mikey who was pressed against Leo for comfort. He had seen Klunk wake and about the lair a bit earlier so she wouldn't have been here. But at least the Turtles were okay.
He headed to the door. "Tiger Claw," said a familiar voice he looked down at the small Rat-man who held up a device. "You can use this to find more of the Dark Armor."
"Thank you." Tiger Claw replied tonelessly taking it as he left. He wasn't aware of being watched.
Krysta had almost finished getting ready for work with a black eye patch April found for her as the other two got up. As she began to leave her ears twitched at the conversation they were having.
"Oh no," Carol suddenly said with a gasp. "Sweetie your birthday is today with all that happened last night-"
"Don't worry about it Mom, my birthdays are always cursed anyway. I gave up on breaking the curse this year after…well…." April said trailing off referring to Mikey's Rage Attack.
Krysta hummed in thought before heading out for the day. "Maybe it's not too late…"
X X X
She was almost done for the day. It was then she noticed a couple of cakes being made. There were also Time runes' out that kept the food fresh as the day it was made until ready for consumption. She had put in an order for a large Creepy supreme a large seven Cheese Pizza (For Splinter) a large supreme a medium of April and Carol's favorite Pizza, One large Pepperoni and one small Hawaiian for Leo. He was pretty weird for liking such a weird flavor. There were more mean people back at home for claiming that both Canadians and the People of the UAE had ruined pizza by placing Pineapple and broccoli on a perfectly fine meal. While Krysta agreed, there was no need to get borderline racist about it.
She picked up a Rune seal for tonight. But there was one more thing the Cake. And she knew which one she was going to try to get. "Hey, Hueso; so about one of those cakes-"
"Absolutely not Nevada!" the Bone man quickly snipped. "These cakes are for the Makers of Brutality meeting tomorrow night and the Masters of Barbarianism the night after
"I just need one medium one, single tier." Krysta begged.
"No! You know that our cake is the best above or below the City. And is meant for emergencies should the meetings go wrong at times like this."
Krysta huffed but then had a thought smirking, a sneaky smile she got back up to her boss's side. "What about the second best cake above or below the surface?"
"That is an excellent idea." Hueso said somewhat joy full as Krysta's tail began wagging before a piece of paper was shoved towards her by him. "This is the address to what is considered the best Bakery in the Hidden City. You should be able to find an excellente cake there."
"I kind of meant for you," Krysta admitted.
"Yes, yes, you will cope." Hueso replied. "Now go rest when you're done with whatever it is you're planning. I can yell you're a bit sluggish from trying to fight Baron Draxum." He said with a tone that said he didn't approve of what she had done last night. She did it to save Mikey; Krysta didn't really care what he thought about it. But she'd be lying if she said she didn't have bruising or felt Achy. Also a part of her was scared that she'd lose her eye.
Once she had clocked out for the day and placed the Pizza's in the lair with both a Time Rune and a spell to keep Splinter away on Donnie's warning as he was helping to pay. She headed out to the quickest way she knew to the Hidden City. Going down like she was heading into the Minotaur maze but immediately heading left.
Once she did was on a path that took her towards the Shopping District where the Bakery was said to be. She could see Pirate's cove off in the distance. The lights and sounds glittering against the night sky that had been changed to be crystals shimmering brightly with the artificial sky changed out. It reminded her of that one scene in Undertale. The shopping district itself seemed a bit Asian in nature. Some of the stands were maws of large beasts carved into stone and painted. She crossed a bridge of gold colored liquid of some kind not lava but something, with a waterfall near floating glowing stones off to the side as she went closer staring at numbers. As well as looking for the name 'Unbearlevable Sweetness.'
The paper Hueso gave her also a picture of the building. It was a gingerbread house could it be eaten? She passed various Yokai just like when she was little she kept to herself and didn't draw attention. She soon saw it. It wasn't nearby as packed as she expected it. There was also strange growling inside as she opened the door. Immediately something dove for her pocket where her wallet was and was trying to steal it. "Hey!" she said grabbing and throwing it away and checking over the wallet with a slight snarl. Fortunately nothing was stolen but there was suddenly hissing and nipping at her feet as she kicked the assailants away.
She looked up to see a bunch of trolls wearing mice skulls and skins with worn green pants tied up with rope running around trying to use glue, rocks and sand to make cakes. Suddenly one came over and tried shoving a sand rock cupcake towards her. "EEHHH EAT PAY ME!" it growled she swatted it away annoyingly. The Little troll let out a yell as he went flying.
"Hello anyone not a creepy mouse troll in here!?" she called holding her wallet close. There were more of them price gouging the bad product they were trying to sell.
"Oh yes over here!" shouted a voice she rushed over and hid inside. "Don't step on the anti-pest rune!"
Krysta was careful stepping over the spell that lined the doorway where she saw a brown bear Yokai In a pastry chef costume her fur in a pink barrier to keep hair from falling out. "I'm so sorry you had to see that. Awful little Bobger Trolls!"
"Bobger Trolls?" Krysta asked.
"They're horrible little trolls that enslave break the souls off and eat innocent Art Meese! They also take over businesses and try to make horrible rip offs of their products! They don't even try to make them right! You saw the Glue, Sand and Rock copies of my products!"
"Yeah I hope they don't force that down someone's throat," Krysta muttered thinking a little too strongly about what happened if those were eaten.
"There are records of them trying." The Chef groaned. "They've been infesting the Shopping District. So it'll be a while before the exterminator can get to me. I managed to save a lot of my Products. But obviously I haven't been able to do business!"
"Well, it's your Lucky Day I just need a medium one tier cake that can feed eight to ten people. Got any recommendations?" Krysta asked.
"My Neapolitan cake," she said summoning it over and showing a white cake. "What color would you like? Anything written on it?" The chef asked excitedly.
"Sure yellow and happy birthday April! In Green, But it's already white." Krysta pointed out.
"Oh no problem, just a bit of mystic dye and…" she said sprinkling on some powder and instantly the cake was a bright yellow. Krysta had subconsciously touched her hair. She realized what she had put in her hair a few years ago. When she was born it was a light brownish red. But ever since she got some weird powder in her hair when she was four it had turned blue and stayed like that ever since.
"Oh dear looks like you got into some when you were younger. That'll permanently dye anything." He bear said with a slight sigh.
"Ehh goes better with the fur." Krysta replied. She gave the Baker the money for it. The minute she did however there was angry fierce clawing at the door.
"OUR MONEY! OUR MONEY! OUR MONEY!" shouted a chanting.
"Oh no!" she cried Krysta looked around and saw a window above her. Grabbing the box she began climbing up a nearby shelf before using Ice to lift the cake up towards the rafters while she jumped up and swung. She grabbed the box and got out the small window and jumped down on the lower roof before jumping down as the Bobger Trolls left the chef and her stone alone and rushed out snapping and growling at her.
"I don't want the crap you made! I want something good and edible she made!" Krysta snapped at them. It was as if a signal of some kind was sent out. The Trolls gasped before hissing and pointing at her she backed away slowly more were suddenly surrounding her. She yelped before running away screaming, the Trolls screaming at her and chasing her.

Tiger Claw had used the device to track the next piece of armor to a worn down apartment complex. He looked up at it. Thinking how maybe his Cloaking pin shouldn't have been destroyed in that moment. But…
"Dude!" shouted a familiar robotic voice. Tiger Claw turned to see April with Klunk on her shoulders and Shelldon standing there.
"What are you three doing here?!" Tiger Claw hissed.
"Helping you get more pieces of the Dark Armor duh." Shelldon replied rolling his eyes. They seemed to be more expressive since the last time he had seen the small Droid.
"And rub Draxum's big fat goat nose in it!" Klunk declared with her new found fluent English.
"That's a terrible idea. Go Home." Tiger Claw replied in a stern flat tone. "Also April don't you have a birthday to celebrate?" Tiger Claw sighed.
"My Birthdays are cursed. Trying to celebrate one has ended in disaster for as long as I can remember. So I might as well spend it like it's any other day." April replied.
Tiger Claw was about to retort when Krysta suddenly arrived in a portal. "Oh it worked!" Krysta huffed. "I'm banned for life from that damn maze but it worked! I hope those little trolls die!" she groaned to herself.
"Uhhh?" April asked as she turned to them seeing them stare.
"Bobger Trolls the Scourge of the Mystic World and all things Art and the concept of quality apparently." Krysta said checking the box. "And it's in one piece good!" she said happily.
"What is?" April asked.
"Your Birthday cake!" Krysta replied as Tiger Claw snuck into the building leaving them behind.
"I appreciate the effort Krysta but my birthdays tend to be cursed that cake is probably not gonna survive the night."
"Not with that attitude." Krysta huffed. "Be a little more optimistic I've honestly put the worst behind me." She said when suddenly her ears twitched prompting her to look up as she screamed and jumped back everyone else yelping as they moved out of the way of a falling AC Unit.
"BAD!" Klunk yelped.
"You were saying?" April asked Krysta with an arched eyebrow.

As Tiger Claw followed the device to the fifth floor he suddenly heard a loud blast he yelped and rushed faster to the door. "Ahh I guess the canon works, power level good aim needs work," Said a voice with a New Zealand accent. He had run into Hypno a couple of times but didn't know he had lived here.
Tiger Claw wasn't really listening after that he just heard another voice worry about his hair of all things, Along with Hypno's assurance; And something about a cutting act as he got to the door.
"News Flash you actually cut me! Into little tiny pieces," growled the other voice in annoyance that he began to recognize as Warren Stone, who had disappeared somewhere around early August which might as well be code for Mutated at this point. "It's incredibly painful!"
"Well you don't think it's painful for me!? Cutting up my-"Tiger Claw opened the door making them turn and scream.
"Ahh the Night Watcher!" Hypno screamed.
"Play it cool!" Warren Stone hissed to him who was a Mutant Worm to Tiger Claw's surprise.
"Hard to do without an Air Conditioner," Hypno joked, a rim shot going on out of nowhere.
"Nailed it!" Warren replied to his friend.
"Awww it was a good set up." Hypno told him as they fist bumped.
"I feel like I was interrupting a date…." Tiger Claw thought to himself. "Relax I just want to talk that's all."
"About what?" Hypno asked warily.
"Well the Gauntlet on your friends incredibly buff arm there." Tiger Claw said pointing to the large black metal Gauntlet on Warren's hand.
"You mean Charlotte?" Warren asked.
"You named it why- not the point, yes Charlotte!"
"No way! Do you know how much more powerful I've become since having her!?" Warren snapped.
"Then get a new Charlotte!" Tiger Claw replied simply. Both gasped insulted at this.
"How dare you!" Hypno snapped. "You can't just barrage into places and tell people to replace the things near and dear to them! Just because you're a Vigilante doesn't give you the right to be a monster!"
"I'm not- Guh!" Tiger Claw groaned. "Listen to me you're both in serious danger! People more dangerous than you two are looking for that Gauntlet! If you don't get rid of it now-"
KABOOOM!
The wall behind them had been blasted open. Hypno had managed to shield Warren and put up a small barrier spell as he was sent flying into the wall. Tiger Claw quickly got in front of them. Tiger Claw then saw, the Kids grabbed by Draxum tied up tight in his vines while he was holding the cake box. But used more vines to climb up to where the three of them were.
"Crap baskets." Tiger Claw hissed.
"Oh you say that too?" Hypno asked. "It's apparently from some Web Parody series."
They heard someone gasped. Muggin had opened the box as Krysta glared at him with Huggin joining his partner and looking inside the box: "A Genuine Unbearlevable Sweetness cake!"
"Wow what a Miracle we've been having issues with Bobger Trolls all week." Huggin added in relief.
"I didn't get that for you, paws off!" Krysta snarled.
"No," Draxum said simply. "I think I'll have my cake and eat it too." He sneered. The Momentary distraction had allowed Tiger Claw to Lunge at Draxum causing him to fall with everyone including Warren and Hypno who fell with them. Krysta had managed to get loose and snatch the cake back trying to figure out how to land safely when she saw the vines and used one to swing back towards the ground as Sheldon with Klunk on his back were facing off against Huggin and Muggin. Who were darting around at them trying to grab them while laughing; Shelldon blasted at them with lasers while Klunk swatted them away with her tail being turned into a large fly swatter when they got too close.
Draxum managed to throw Tiger Claw away and sent a Golem after him and April as he turned to Warren who had just pulled himself, up from the street. "Your Gauntlet will be mine Worm man!" he shouted only to have a dodge a blast from the Gauntlet.
"Breaking News the Gauntlet stays with me!" Warren declared with a crazed smirk.
"Enough of this!" Draxum said summoning a flurry of destroyed bricks and used them to fly as he dodged ice spears, lasers and blasts from the Gauntlet. He sent them flying at everything. Tiger Claw dodged the way out of one as he felled the Golem he had been distracted with. Klunk and Shelldon yelped as they dodged one that almost smashed into Shelldon. Krysta had to put up an ice shield for the cake that almost didn't hold. And Warren who was dodging the most bricks looked up to see a large bit of one going to crush him. But Hypno was faster.
"Alakaboom!" he shouted turning the bricks into flowers. That gently fell around Warren.
"Take that you horned headed Freak!" Warren shouted as they stood beside each other the others gathering around when they felt safe. April suddenly gasped when she saw Warren.
"Hold the phone!" she said excitedly fists in her cheeks in disbelief. "You're Warren Stone!" she stated happily star struck as she almost knocked over Krysta and the cake she glared at April from behind her back. "I recognize that hair anywhere!" He glasses had somehow ended up on her head. As she got in close to just look at him and watch.
"Why Yes, I am." Warren said fixing the lose hairs on his head. "Are you a Stone Head?" he asked politely.
"That's what I call my fans!" he said to Hypno who gave him a grin and thumbs up.
"They have fan clubs for News anchors?" Krysta asked with an arched eyebrow.
"Member since two thousand and ten!" she declared sing song showing a fold out wallet of her in the fan club.
"Excellent!" Warren said. "Now by the power vested in me by my own Fan Club I'm deputizing you to get rid of that Goat Freak!"
"You think your puny fans intimidate me?" Draxum asked somewhat insulted.
"How about a thousand pounds of metal and muscle!?" Tiger Claw snarled flying above them on his motor cycle and aiming for Draxum as he landed.
"Smoosh his brains out!" Krysta shouted. Draxum however dodged away as Tiger Claw raced after him a bit before dodging an attack from Draxum's Alchemy spell that caused a brick to go into the headlight. He turned around swinging by the others; managing to send some exhaust into Draxum's face as he did so.
"Everyone, get on!" he shouted. "We need to run!" he shouted. Everyone agreed with this and fled to the bike however Draxum sent several vines at them which snagged around Hypno.
"NO!" Warren shouted. "Give him back!" he roared suddenly blasting at Draxum wildly. However some power feedback began reacting with the Motor Cycle.
"What the?!" Tiger Claw yelped when he realized what was going to happen. "STOP!" he shouted but Warren didn't listen one more blast began to charge into the Motorcycle which suddenly caused it to go flying.
"WARRREEEEENNNN!" Hypno screamed reaching for his Roomie.
"HYPNOOOOOOO!" the Worm shouted back mirroring his reaction. They tried to each for each other only for the Bike to go blasting off. Hypno shed a pair of tears as Draxum pulled Hypno closer to him with a glare as his gargoyles rushed at him.
X X X
"DAMN IT, DAMN IT, DAMN IT!" Tiger Claw shouted trying to control the bike. He maneuvered it off the front cable of the Manhattan Bridge as everyone yelped and screamed getting a very shaky ride on the way down before it flipped going flying one way while everyone else went the other Krysta however was quick to make an ice slide that allowed them to land safely as some snow fell after she made a huge pile of her own. She sat up and glanced in the box.
"It's okay the cakes fine!" she said happily.
"Yes because that's so important!" Tiger Claw huffed as Klunk jumped onto Warren before he could slink away and sat on his end. "Anyway before that whole mess occurred. Your, Charlotte is part of an evil mystic weapon known as the Dark Armor! The pieces are being hunted down by Draxum and a Cult known as the Foot Clan! They cannot have it and it is a matter of literal life or death!"
"I got it!" Krysta said picking it up and pulling Warren out from under Klunk who was rolled onto her back from the force of the pull. She began trying to pull Warren out of the Gauntlet when that didn't work she rapidly shook him. "GET OFF!" she yelled as Warren yelped and moaned.
"That won't work we need an actually does things approach!" Shelldon declared as he pulled out several cutting tools from his arsenal. "Now to do some light removing of a thing attached to another thing." He said a couple of buzz saws getting close to Warren who screamed in fright.
"Wait you can't do that you'll end up killing him!" Krysta cried.
"It won't if I don't touch the brain. Donnie says he regenerates." Shelldon said matter-of-factly.
"I don't know if that makes it better." Klunk muttered her ears drooping.
"STOP!" April said making Shelldon stop. "This is a sign that my Birthday Curse could finally break!"
"Not really the thing that's important right now." Tiger Claw pointed out but went ignored.
"Listen I know he's a villain and being difficult but Baron Sheep man is much, much worse!" April protested.
Tiger Claw shook his head. "Well the lesser of two evils is still-"
"MONSTER!" Klunk cried they screamed the arrival of a large dog creature made of Draxum's vines that collapsed in a pile before them. And in the pile was a note. Tiger Claw relaxed his stance as they all looked over behind him.
"Did Draxum send that?" Krysta asked lowering the cake in her arms back down as Shelldon and Klunk poked at the pile while. April picked up the message and Read it.
Give us the Gauntlet or your Kiwi Friend is a Smoothie
lets, not be tacky and avoid a violent Exchang….ie
Love Huggin and Munnin
"Hypno!" Warren gasped.
"Guys we gotta help him!" April added. "I'm evoking B-Day Rights to do so."
"Only if he gives us the Gauntlet in exchange," Tiger Claw replied.
"What!? Do you not know what B-Day Rights are!?" April snapped at him. Tiger Claw rolled his eyes and was about to retort when Warren spoke up.
"It's fine…" He said sadly looking both nostalgic and saddened. "I know I'm a famous worm villain but if it gets me your help, I'll do it! When News Fame left so did everyone I knew!" Warren explained referring to the mutation. "I was alone I had nothing." He said making Klunk perk with interest. "Until I met a magician turned Hippo." He said with a smile. "And my life changed. For my birthday he made me a tiny cake and then magically jumped out of it." Warren said. Klunk looked at her tag. She remembered how Attila made it for her. Learning how to do it right then getting the materials and making it without Draxum knowing it was the first time she ever got anything. "He almost crushed me when he slipped on frosting. But he's my brother, my best friend, my Roomie! My, my…..BOYFRIEND!" Warren sobbed hugging the pictures he had from his birthday.
"We have to help them. Their friendship is like mine and Mikey's but more! Please we've gotta!"
"FINE, just stop! Stop adding on!" Tiger Claw groaned tears flowing from his eyes April was sobbing with her glasses on her head.
"We'll do it!" Krysta said ugly crying having given the cake to Shelldon who was looking kind of bored. "We'll get the Roomie back!"

Draxum had left them a map to the pier the Team of Tiger Claw, Krysta, Klunk, Shelldon, April and the birthday cake were watching from above waiting to strike. Hypno had been tied up in Draxum's vines with a piece of Tape over his mouth and it looked like he had been punched when Huginn and Munnin pulled his head up. Warren faced the three down.
"Tonight's top story I'm here to make your trade Draxum!" he declared dramatically.
"Good…" Draxum replied as Shelldon slowly began to float down behind them. "Now hand over the Gauntlet."
"If uh phraf!" Warren cried from under the tape. Warren smiled.
"Aww I love you too." He replied happily. Then he glanced at the Gauntlet rubbing it. "We could do that, or I could offer you an even sweeter deal."
"Oh like what!?" Huggin asked excitedly.
"A life time supply, of Unbearlevable cupcakes!?" Munnin asked hopefully hopping a little in place.
"No!" Warren growled before grinning. "How about the friends of your loser mutant Turtles?" he asked. "I brought them right here!" he said pointing upwards to where they were.
"WHAT!?" Tiger Claw roared instantly Warren began shooting at the scaffolding where they were and they hit the ground Krysta still keeping the cake safe as a vine like cage instantly surrounded them.
"YOU BASTARD!" Tiger Claw snarled hatefully from within the cage.
"I should've cut you up when I had the chance!" Shelldon added glaring.
"How could you do this!?" April asked hurt, "and on my birthday?! I was the vice president of the Stone heads." She cried opening up her jacket to reveal a Warren Stone shirt."
Warren didn't respond he merely blew the smoke off his Gauntlet. "And he thanks you for your service."
"Asshole!" Krysta growled at him. Klunk just hung her head sadly ears drooping. "Which is like fifty percent of you thanks to that Ooze!" she added with a snarl of her own.
Warren ignored her as did Draxum who chuckled impressed. "I could use these Friends of theirs. I must say you drive a hard bargain. But it's a deal, free him."
Instantly Huggin pulled the tape off and then the two Goyles shoved Hypno down as the vines released their grip on him. He groaned falling from the height of the shipping crate he was on as Warren hugged him. "Tonight's headline: Boyfriends reunited and it feels so-"
"I'm so sorry." Warren admitted. "It was the only way he'd let you live." He said to everyone's surprise. Even Warren's as he was gingerly picked up and held in front of Hypno as he made a sound of confusion. "Mesmaroooooo!" He shouted hitting Warren with a burst of magic that gave him a blank stare and drooled a little bit as Hypno groaned. "Oh, give them the gauntlet my golden voiced amigo!" He placed the Worm Mutant down and he began crawling over towards Draxum and his Gargoyles.
"Wow that played out like those old Disney Pirate movies," Krysta muttered as Tiger Claw's eyes widened in shock and slight nervousness. "What were they called? Pirates of the Bahamas no Mediterranean-"
"Caribbean," Tiger Claw sighed loathing every moment that was passing him by since this night started.
"You get the Gauntlet and the Turtle's allies and Warren lives!" Hypno relayed to Draxum firmly. "That was our deal yes!?"
Draxum picked up Warren with some magic stone faced as he began to summon vines. "Yeah no, I lied!" he said simply as he shot them at Hypno. He yelped and struggled as he was tied up again but raised like their cage had been.
"But you said you promised!" Warren begged.
"Draxum is bad, bad, bad!" Klunk said to Hypno.
"Only a true Evil Genius could choreograph this many betrayals and double-crosses!" Draxum said proudly.
"I mean it was a Total Team Effort!" Munnin said happily.
"Aww I'm blushing!" Huggin added.
"I was talking about me you idiots!" Draxum snapped as he placed Warren on some kind of stand with vines going around him. "Now to do some light removing of one thing attached to another thing." He said echoing Shelldon's earlier words.
Hypno growled and began to free himself with his magic once he had he carefully used some magic to summon doves to lift him to the cage as he sent razor rings to the cage that Tiger Claw and Shelldon were sawing away at. "Ta-da," Hypno said throwing up a hat to make an entrance.
"What now!?" Tiger Claw growled.
"Hold on almost there!" Hypno said from below. "Little higher, to the right almost…annnnnd yup you're there!" he declared, floating in front of them; As everyone, minus Klunk and April who was downtrodden by being betrayed by her idol glared at him. "Allow me to help!"
"Why the hell would we trust you and help him after that performance!?" Tiger Claw snarled.
"Yeah whatever triple deluxe betrayal you've got planned we don't want it!" Shelldon added.
"Yeah, but…" Klunk began sadly still wanting to help Hypno and Warren. The two groaned.
"Do remember what happened three minutes ago!?" Tiger Claw scolded.
"I've got nothing up my sleeve I promise!" Hypno begged when cards suddenly flew out hitting both Shelldon and Tiger Claw in the face. The Latter growled animalistically at him. He laughed nervously.
"Look," Hypno began. "I'm a terrible Roomie and thus maybe not the best boyfriend either! I cheat on the Chore sheet! He pretends not to notice but he does, I know he does!" he finished in a half whisper.
"Mikey would do it….because it's the right thing to do….and because he doesn't want Draxum to hurt anyone. I think deep down that's why he never wanted to train." Klunk muttered sadly. This made Tiger Claw soften he groaned defeated.
"Fine for Mikey, and April, it's her birthday." Krysta huffed.
"Yeah I guess…Donnie would do it for April." Shelldon muttered rolling his eyes.
April arched an eyebrow before she looked over and down at where Warren was. As he was tied down with the Gauntlet arm laid out. His Golden locks flowing in the wind. "I just can't quit you Warren Stone."
"We can," Krysta, Tiger Claw and Shelldon muttered making it clear it wasn't for him they were doing this for. As Draxum prepared a large vine made chain saw that was way bigger than Warren a mystic razor ring rushed forward and crashed into it. The Vines had exploded apart making Draxum flinch and brace himself a little as he glared to see the B-Team and Warren in battle stances as Hypno summoned rings to float and spin near him.
"Step away from my roomie slash boyfriend!" Hypno declared with a growl. Tiger Claw roared rushing at Draxum as the two grappled Shelldon swooped in and grabbed Warren and began to make off with him as Huggin and Munnin gave chase. Krysta immediately started blasting them with bits of ice.
"This would be so much easier if I wasn't holding a cake!" she groaned not good with one hand yet.
"I got it!" Klunk declared turning into a Table for her to place the cake down on.
"Thank you!" she said blasting more accurately now and freezing the two in a block of ice that dropped to the ground as Tiger Claw had slugged Draxum hard enough to have him crash into a shipping crate and leave a dent.
"Everyone move now!" he shouted as they turned and ran Draxum snarled and unleashed a vine that managed to grab Warren's smaller arm and pull causing it to stretch. Everyone immediately grabbed the Gauntlet hand and began to pull.
Warren woke up and yelped in pain as Draxum and the Gargoyles were pulling with the vine. "He's at his limit!" Hypno cried however suddenly the arm that Draxum had grabbed had been cut by one of Hypno rings held by…
"April O'Neil!" She whispered as the arm whipped back whacking Draxum and the two Goyles who yelped in pain as everyone ran off. Draxum was already clearing away Shipping containers with his vines to get to them quickly.
"Damn it!" Tiger Claw growled however there was suddenly hissing.
"EeehehhhhhhhhhhhH!" said the Bobger Trolls surrounding them and pointing at Krysta.
"What!?" Tiger Claw yelped.
"Okay long story short: Those are Bobger Trolls and I told them too their faces that I didn't want their inedible crap and wanted something the actual Chef made and now they hate my guts!" Krysta said quickly as one dove for the cake she dodged and it then ate through Warren's other arm.
He, Hypno and Shelldon screamed as Tiger Claw grabbed it and threw it as hard as he can into a Shipping Crate. Klunk however from Krysta's words had an idea and immediately turned into Draxum just as the real one began climbing on the Shipping Crate.
"Hello! I am Barron Draxum the most evil but self-sufficient Warring Warrior Scientist in the world. I make everything myself. Vines, plants, golems and all of my machinery! I even rebuilt my own house! And I've made every mutant in the world with my two hands! Did I mention I make my own stuff all the time?"
Draxum gasped as he saw the Trolls turn their attention to him. "You little-" he snarled at Klunk who turned into a bug and quickly scurried away from the oncoming stampede of Bobger Trolls who all swarmed Draxum and his Goyles as she turned back and jumped down onto Shelldon as they all took off towards the Channel Six van they had come in. Tiger Claw flew into the seat with Hypno passing him the keys as they took off.
"GAAAHHHHHH!" Warren screamed in agony writhing as those who were free gathered around him as tiny hands appeared at both his sides. "I'm fine…" he muttered flatly.
X X X
The Van had stopped and they got outside once they felt safe. At this point Warren had grown tiny little arms that were stubby and could barely point. Krysta stifled a giggle.
"I know I shouldn't laugh but his tiny arms." She snorted.
"They are kind of funny unproportioned like that." Shelldon added.
"I'll take this," Tiger Claw said holding up the Gauntlet. "That is gross." He said gingerly pulling away the stretched former arm of Warren Stone and letting it fall Near April who gasped and grabbed it.
"Best Birthday ever!" she hissed excitedly.
"Charlotte, my power!" Warren cried. "You have made a terrible enemy today Tiger Claw! All of you have!" he declared glaring at him, Shelldon, Klunk and Krysta (Still holding the cake and giggling at his attempts to point) And April who smiled.
"I know the Gauntlet was important to you. But somethings are more important than power. And to some you're one of those things." April replied softly, as Hypno smiled softly at Warren.
"I will haunt every one of you in your dreams!" Warren threatened pointing with his tiny, tiny arms as Hypno nuzzled him.
"That's my Warren!" he declared happily. "Oh it's good to have you back Roomie Slash Magical Assistant slash boyfriend!" he said with a kiss to his cheek.
